Suspected Mafia boss Roberto Mazzarella has been arrested in a luxury resort on Italy's Amalfi coast, authorities in Vietri sul Mare south-east of Naples reported on Saturday.
The 48-year-old suspect, believed to be the head of Naples' Mazzarella Clan and wanted in connection with a number of contract murders, had been found with his family in a villa in the resort, the report said. He did not resist arrest.
Mazzarella's name is at number four on the Interior Ministry's list of most-wanted Mafiosi. He was found with his wife and two children. The resort charges a levy of €1,000 ($1,150) per night.
Police found €20,000 in cash, three expensive watches, a number of mobile phones and forged identity documents.
The Mazzarella Clan is one of the most influential in the Camorra, the Mafia organization that dominates the Naples area.
The clan boss is wanted in connection with ordering the murder of a brother of a Mafia hitman in a Naples butcher's in a revenge attack in December 2000.
The Amalfi Coast is home to some of Italy's most popular and most expensive holiday regions, and Vietri sul Mare, with its steep hillsides, is seen as one of Italy's prettiest locations.
