One of Italy’s most wanted men, mobster Rocco Morabito, has arrived in Rome after being extradited from Brazil, where he had been in hiding.

Known as the “cocaine king of Milan”, Morabito was arrested in May last year in a joint operation by Brazilian and Italian police.

The 55-year-old will serve a 30-year prison sentence for drug trafficking.

The mafia boss spent decades on the run using a fake identity in South America.

Police finally tracked him down last year to João Pessoa, a port city in north-eastern Brazil, where he was arrested along with another member of the ‘Ndrangheta mafia group, Vincenzo Pasquino.

Pasquino has since been sentenced to 17 years in prison for drug trafficking.
