Fugitive Giovanni Ferrarese Arrested After 15-Year Manhunt – Cosa Nostra Figure Caught in Hometown

Avellino, Italy – June 7, 2025

After 15 years on the run, one of Italy’s most elusive and dangerous fugitives, Giovanni Ferrarese, 68, was arrested today in a dramatic early-morning raid in his hometown of Avellino, a quiet southern town that once shielded his criminal empire in silence.

Ferrarese, long suspected of being a senior operative within the Italian branch of La Cosa Nostra, is facing a staggering list of charges: racketeering, kidnapping, bribery, corruption, and participation in organized crime. Authorities say he was the invisible hand behind numerous criminal operations stretching across southern Italy during the late 90s and early 2000s.

Known in criminal circles as "Il Vecchio", Ferrarese vanished in 2010 after a wave of indictments came crashing down on his associates. Despite international efforts and multiple Interpol notices, he slipped through the cracks – until today.

Investigators revealed that Ferrarese had been hiding in plain sight, protected by a network of local loyalties and blood-bound silence. His arrest was made possible after an anonymous tip, possibly from inside the very crime family he once commanded, led police to a secluded villa on the outskirts of Avellino.

“He thought he was untouchable,” said Carabinieri Chief Inspector Luca Bianchi. “But justice has a long memory.”

Even more intriguing is the revelation that Ferrarese has a son living in the United States, whose identity remains undisclosed. Sources suggest U.S. federal agencies may now become involved, probing possible transatlantic criminal connections, illegal gambling and money laundering routes tied to the elder Ferrarese.

This arrest marks a major victory in Italy’s ongoing war against organized crime – but also opens a darker chapter as investigators now dig deeper into Ferrarese’s legacy, allies, and secrets that have remained buried for too long.

As one officer put it this morning: “This isn’t just the end of a manhunt. It’s the start of an unmasking.”
