Saturday 4 February 2023 - 15:50

An Italian man convicted of beating two mafia rivals to death some 30 years ago was arrested this week in France, where he was found working as a pizza chef.

Edgardo Greco, 63, disappeared from police custody more than 16 years ago after his conviction of the double murder in 2006, when he was set to serve life in prison.

Found living under the alias Paolo Dimitrio, Greco had been working as a pizza chef since 2014, and even appeared in television ads for his restaurant.

Greco was arrested on Thursday after his identity was confirmed, and is awaiting extradition proceedings requested by Italy.
