Italian mafia member arrested after tattoos recognised in YouTube cooking video
By Euronews with AFP Updated: 29/03/2021 - 18:02
A member of an Italian mafia gang has been arrested in the Dominican Republic after his tattoos were recognised on YouTube.
Marc Feren Claude Biart had been on the run from Italian authorities since 2014 and had been living in Boca Chica on the Caribbean island, police said.
Prosecutors had wanted Biart on charges of trafficking cocaine to the Netherlands for a clan of the feared mafia gang, the 'Ndrangheta.
According to police, the suspect had featured in YouTube videos where he explained Italian cooking recipes while keeping his face hidden.
However, his tattoos could be seen in the videos, which allowed him to be recognised.
