Barcelona police have arrested a 33-year-old Italian man in the city over a 2018 homicide in Naples linked to the Camorra mafia. Mossos d'Esquadra said plainclothes officers detained him on 27 May in the Eixample district during a preventive check.
According to police, the man tried to identify himself with a forged document. The arrest came after officers received an arrest and expulsion order the following day for serious crimes, including aggravated homicide.
The man is accused of killing a member of a rival clan with a firearm in a public street in Naples, together with two accomplices. Police said the case forms part of the activities of a criminal organisation linked to the Italian mafia eight years ago.
The arrested man appeared before a judge on Saturday. For more on police and court reporting in Catalonia, see our news tag.
