'Ndrangheta assassin arrested thanks to his activity on Facebook

[derby378]

With lethal force, Facebook, the world's most popular networking site, penetrated the remote corners of Italy, when police - following up on a trail of online leads - captured a Mob assassin wanted for several contract murders, drug-trafficking and Mafia-related activities.

Approximately two weeks ago and during the onset of spring break season, 'Ndrangheta Mob hitman Pasquale Manfredi, aged 33, was taken into custody by Italian police in Isola Capo Rizzuto, a region near the city of Crotone in southern Italy.

...

For a year, as one of Italy's 100 most wanted criminals, Manfredi ran a competitive race to elude capture but when the Italian authorities took the measure of investigating the volumes of messages he had posted to Facebook friends, the digital communication led police to his front door where, according to officers, once they forced entry into Manfredi's apartment to arrest him they discovered a timely, laughable coincidence.

Gangster Manfredi had that moment been chatting on Facebook!
