Francesco
Nirta, 39, was arrested after a raid on a block of flats in Nieuwegein. Four
other people, including a 28-year-old Italian were also picked up. Police also
found 40 kilos of cocaine and €18,000 in cash.
Nirta is
said to be a member of the 'Ndrangheta, a violent mafia organisation based in
the southern province of Calabria. He is wanted for murder, firearms offences
and mafia membership.
He has
already been sentenced to life imprisonment and was one of the 10 most wanted
mafia members worldwide.
Italian
officials say it is likely the man has been in the Netherlands since 2007.
Another member of the clan, Giuseppe Nirta, was arrested in Amsterdam in 2008,
the NRC said.

Nieuwegein were also four other men arrested (Nos)
