An Italian mafia man, the second in the Sicilian Mafia hierarchy, chased for drugs and weapons trafficking, was arrested by police in Arges and will be presented Friday at the Pitesti Court of Appeals for extradition.

"Police officers from the Criminal Investigation Service, following information exchange with Italian authorities(...), found and arrested a 56 years old Italian for whom there was an European arrest warrant issued by the Italian judicial authorities for crimes of drug trafficking and weapon trafficking, "said agent Madalina Balanescu, spokesman for the Arges County Police Inspectorate (IPJ), according to Agerpres.

Cataldo Cagnazzo was known as a member of the mafia organization called The Sacra Corona Unita, a criminal organization operating in the region of Puglia in southern Italy.

The suspect was detained for 24 hours in Arges County Police custody.
