Rome - Italian police on Tuesday arrested a fugitive mafia boss while he was on holiday with his wife and daughters in the Sicilian seaside resort of Taormina, news reports said.
The 33-year-old Paolo Rosario De Stefano was picked up during a morning raid on a rented holiday home in the north-eastern Sicilian town.
An alleged boss of the 'Ndrangheta Calabrian mafia, De Stefano had been on the run since 2005 and appears on the list of Italy's 30 most-wanted fugitives, compiled by the Interior Ministry.
Before his disappearance four years ago, De Stefano had received a eight-year sentence for belonging to a mafia organization.
