The Milan carabinieri, with the support of their colleagues in Naples, captured the 'Ndrangheta killer Sestito Massimiliano, who escaped from house arrest in Pero , in the Milan area, on 30 January .
The fugitive, who had managed to get rid of the electronic bracelet, was tracked down and captured by the military at the Circumvesuviana station of Sant'Anastasia in the province of Naples .
He wasn't armed, he was just in front of the Circumvesuviana station waiting for a taxi. He went around with his brother's ID, with which there is a remarkable resemblance . Investigations are underway to ascertain where he came from and where he intended to go.
To capture him, the carabinieri explain, " interceptions were fundamental ". The great and immediate commitment of the military was "also due to the desire to honor the police officer Renato Lio killed in 1991 ".
To get to Sestito, 52 years old and affiliated with the 'Ndrangheta of Catanzaro, web monitoring and investigations into the reports of the killer who are believed to have cover-ups where he was arrested were also used.
The investigative units of the Milan and Naples Arma, the Rho Company (Milan) and the Neapolitan Operations Department also participated in the search.
The carabinieri - it was explained - worked day and night deploying all the necessary means and using an impressive number of soldiers. The goal was to act as quickly as possible to prevent Sestito from becoming untraceable .
The men of the Arma received compliments from Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi, who underlined "the importance of an operation that made it possible to quickly interrupt the fugitive of the criminal already sentenced to thirty years for the murder of a Carabiniere and who had fled while awaiting the verdict of the Cassation for another murder ».
