Bruno Carbone was arrested in Rome , considered one of the major Neapolitan drug brokers. The 45-year-old had been on the run since 2003, when he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for international drug trafficking along the Spain-Naples-Catania route .

He was the recipient of a precautionary custody order in prison issued by the GIP of the Court of Naples at the request of the local Anti-Mafia District Directorate, facts for which he has already been tried and sentenced in the first and second degree.

For years he would have managed the relationship with the Colombians, he would have supplied drugs to various clans of the Camorra, from the Nuvolettas to the Ciccarellis of Parco Verde, up to the clans of the Rione Traiano . He was captured by the carabinieri of the Naples investigative unit inside Ciampino airport: he was in possession of a false document.

On October 7, a new pre-trial detention order was issued against Bruno Carbone and Raffaele Imperiale. The two super-narcos of Neapolitan origin ended up in the blitz of the Reggio Calabria prosecutor's office which overall led to the arrest of 36 people.
