Fugitive narcos-Camorra middle man caught in Colombia

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 25 - A Campanian criminal on Italy's most dangerous fugitives list who allegedly acted as a go-between between Colombian cocaine cartels and the Neapolitan Camorra mafia was arrested overnight in Colombia.
    Luigi Belvedere was captured in Medellin.
    He had been wanted since December 2020 and included in the list of dangerous fugitives of the Ministry of the Interior.
    Belvedere has been definitively sentenced for international drug trafficking and for acting as an intermediary between the Colombian cartels and some clans of the Casalesi Camorra cartel.
    The Casalesi are a powerful clan based at Casal di Principe whose death threats forced anti-mafia writer Roberto Saviano into police protection.
    Belvedere is due to serve a sentence of 18 years, 9 months and 20 days of imprisonment, as well as an additional term for international drug trafficking. (ANSA).
