In 2006, Edgardo Greco, 63, was given a life sentence for two murders and an attempted murder as part of what is commonly known as a “Mafia war” in Italy between the Pino Sena and Perna Pranno gangs in the 1990s, according to an Interpol statement.
Interpol described the criminal-turned-pizzamaker as a “dangerous fugitive.” He was discovered in Saint-Étienne, France on Thursday, where he had lived since 2014.
His photo appeared in a local newspaper in July 2021, where he advertised his restaurant’s Italian cooking.
Italian police said the brothers were beaten to death with iron bars in a fish shop in Calabria.
The ‘Ndrangheta, based in the “toe” of the Italian peninsula, is one of the world’s most powerful cocaine traffickers and is seen as the largest threat among organized crime syndicates.
