Antonio Ciavarello, son-in-law of the late Cosa Nostra boss Totò Riina, arrested in Malta by the police, in execution of a European arrest warrant issued by the Court of Brindisi on 24 January 2022.
After weeks of investigations, the police carried out a raid in Mosta, surrounding Ciavarello's residence, and then made the arrest.
Appearing in court - explain the local media - the 50-year-old confirmed his identity and expressed his consent to return to Italy.
Ciavarello reportedly took refuge in Malta in an attempt to escape a final prison sentence.
