(ANSA) - Naples, October 6 - Carabinieri police on Tuesday arrested a top Camorra mafia boss who had been on the run since 2013 and was considered one of Italy's most dangerous fugitives.
    Michele Cuccaro, 49, was wanted on charges of mafia association, homicide, drug trafficking and smuggling, among other crimes. He was captured in the southern Lazio town of Latina without putting up resistance. Cuccaro is thought to be the head of a clan operating in the eastern part of Naples province and was on the interior ministry's list of the 100 most dangerous fugitives. His brother Luigi was arrested in Naples in June, when crowds intervened to try to prevent police from taking him away.
