One of Italy's most notorious Mafia bosses of its Naples clan has been arrested today whilst out shopping. Adriano Graziano is said to be responsible for the ambush that killed a rival clan member's mother and sister-on-law

Local media name the man as Adriano Graziano, known as "The Teacher", who was detained without a fight as he left a designer clothes store.
Mr Graziano, of the clan of the same name, escaped capture in May when police arrested 23 alleged members.
The Grazianos are known for a bloody war against the Cava clan of the Naples mafia, also known as the Camorra.

Christina 123, I like this story. It's good stuff.

I do not like the Mafia, just like the Taliban!

Thanks Paschen! Problem is, how to root out corruption?

16 crime bosses in Naples Italy received life sentances. Authorities also confiscated 900 million Euros in assets from them. Seems like this might make a dent in crime there.
