Soldiers from the Reggio Calabria Provincial Command of the Guardia di Finanza have captured, in the Locride area, an unidentified fugitive, the subject of a precautionary custody order issued by the investigating judge of the Trento Court.
The man, who was caught by financial police while celebrating his birthday with his family, had escaped capture last May during an investigation conducted by the Trento Financial Police, assisted by personnel from the SCICO and under the direction of the Trentino District Attorney's Office.
