Antonio Messicati Vitale was captured at his luxury villa in the Legian neighborhood of the popular tourist area of Kuta early Friday in a joint operation by Indonesian and Italian police.<\/p>\n
A photo released by Italian police in Palermo shows Vitale wearing sunglasses, bathing trunks and a watch while relaxing on a striped beach towel on a lounge chair. <\/p>\n
He has a cigarette in one hand and the Italian version of the Dan Brown novel, `’The Lost Symbol,” in the other. A canned beverage, with a straw for sipping, sits in the sand, at arm’s length.<\/p>\n
Police Maj. Pande Putu Sugiarta said Vitale was believed to have hidden out in the seaside resort for the past six months. <\/p>\n
The convicted Mafia boss is believed to have escaped capture earlier this year during a police raid to crack down on his alleged Villabate crime family on the outskirts of Palermo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
