Dubai police on Wednesday confirmed they have arrested one of Italy’s most wanted criminals Raffaele Imperiale. Imperiale is the alleged kingpin of organized crime syndicate ‘Camorra’ that is involved in drugs and weapons trafficking crimes across international borders, the Dubai Police said in a statement.
The Dubai Police said the force also arrested Imperial’s right-hand man Raffaele Mauriello, who is responsible for plotting and executing murders and assassinations using unlicensed firearms.
Both Imperiale and Mauriello are wanted by Italian authorities and Interpol, which has issued ‘Red Notices’ against them, Dubai Police said.
According to Dubai Authorities: Imperiale was living in Dubai using a fake identity and used the name ‘Antonio Rocco’. To throw security agencies off his track, he would travel in different cars and reside in an isolated apartment. The house’s location helped him observe the people that approached it. He had intentionally avoided registering an address, to mislead authorities and remain in the shadows.
Raffaele Imperiale was born and raised in the Italian city of Naples. He’s been a member of the Italian ‘Camorra’ organized crime syndicate since his early childhood until he became one of the most infamous drugs kingpins in Italy for his criminal history. Imperiale is considered as one of Italy’s most dangerous and wanted fugitives by the Anti-Narcotics Directorate in Stabia, Naples.
