Paolo Pesce has been on the run for 17 years and faces life imprisonment for murder.

The Guardia Civil have arrested an alleged member of the Camorra Naples mafia, Paolo Pesce, in an operation carried out by the Organised Crime Squad in Fuengirola.

The 44 year old member of the ‘Mariano Clan’ has been on the run from the authorities for 17 years, and faces a life sentence for homicide. Reports indicate that he tried to pass himself off as Spanish.

The arrest was made yesterday in a phone call shop under a European arrest warrant by a joint Civil Guard and Italian Carabinero team who were waiting for him to arrive there to contact his family.
