ROME - Italian police have arrested a fugitive mobster believed to be the head of an organized crime clan involved in the slaying of six people in Germany last year.
Police in Reggio Calabria say 46-year-old Antonio Pelle was picked up early Thursday from a bunker in Ardore Marina in southern Italy.
He has been on the run since 2007 and was wanted on charges of Mafia association.
Pelle's family was involved in a feud that led to the Aug. 15, 2007, killing of six Italians outside a restaurant in Duisburg, Germany.
The feud between two rival families drew international attention to the 'ndrangheta, a crime syndicate based in the southern region of Calabria.
Some investigators say the 'ndrangheta is now more powerful than the Sicilian Mafia.
