Vincenzo La Porta is set to serve a jail term of 14 years, four months after Carabinieri police tracked him down on the Greek island of Corfù thanks to a photo they came across during web patrolling operations.
In the photo that ended up on social media, the 60-year-old, considered a white-collar member of the Camorra’s Contini clan, can be seen celebrating the championship victory outside a Corfù restaurant with a Napoli scarf in his hands and a baseball cap on his head.
As a result, they started tailing him and captured him hours ago as he was climbing onto a scooter.
He was on a list of Italy’s most dangerous fugitives and specialised in tax evasion and fraud.
