Rome, Italy – A mob fugitive was captured in the Caribbean after appearing in YouTube cooking videos in which he hid his face but inadvertently showed his tattoos, Italian police said Monday.
Marc Feren Claude Biart, 53, led a quiet life in Boca Chica in the Dominican Republic, and was considered a “foreigner” by the local Italian expatriate community, police said in a statement.
He was betrayed by a YouTube channel where he showed off his Italian culinary skills. The videos never showed his face, but the tattoos on his body gave him away, they said.
Biart had been on the run since 2014, when Italian prosecutors ordered his arrest for cocaine trafficking in the Netherlands on behalf of the Cacciola clan of the ‘Ndrangheta mafia.
Based in Calabria, the region that forms the tip of Italy’s boot, the ‘Ndrangheta is considered one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the world due to its control of most of the cocaine entering Europe.
It has extended its reach to all parts of the world and has long surpassed Sicilia’s Cosa Nostra as the largest mafia organization in Italy.
