A wanted Mafia boss, Montella
Ruso Anthonio has been arrested after he became born again and was baptised on
a video that ended up on YouTube.
As part of the ceremony to wash
away his sin, he was taken into the sea off the Italian coast of Pinetamare and
immersed under the water by the priest.
But when police saw the video
posted online by the pastor, they were able to identify the region, and the
pastor, and from there were able to quickly capture Montella by finding out
from other parishioners where he was staying in Villaricca near Naples.
He had been on the run after
being convicted and jailed for drug trafficking. Parishioner Adelmo Iadanza said: "He
seemed like a nice man, I am sure there must have been a mistake. He kept very
much to himself, but was always in church at the weekend.
"Police said he would
remain in custody before being sent back to the capital Rome to start his
five-year jail term that been suspended while he was on the run.
