Fugitive Italian mobster arrested in Uruguay

Top 'ndrangheta crime syndicate boss Rocco Morabito, who has been on the run from Italy since 1994, has been arrested in Uruguay where he had been living under a false name with a forged Brazilian passport.

Reggio Calabria chief prosecutor Federico Cafiero de Raho said Morabito had played a big role in cocaine trafficking between South America and Milan, a distribution point for the drug to be sold elsewhere.
