Spanish police say they have arrested a fugitive suspected of being a Sicilian Mafia member wanted for murder and other crimes in Italy.
Police said they worked with their Italian counterparts to arrest Claudio Adriano Giusto in the rural northeastern town of Alcarras. He had been on the run for 13 years.
Giusto, 43, is wanted in Italy for the March 1998 murder of Giuseppe Magaddino, also believed to have belonged to a Mafia family, as well as for possession of weapons and theft.
Police said Wednesday that investigators who had been trying to track down Giusto moved the search to Spain in recent days.
Monday's arrest was co-ordinated with the help of Interpol, police said.
