NAPLES, Italy, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Authorities said a suspected mafia hitman allegedly caught on video killing a man in Naples, Italy, has been caught.
The Italian news agency, ANSA, reported Thursday that Costanzo Apice, 28, was arrested for allegedly killing convicted bank robber Mario Bacioterracino in a broad daylight shooting this year.
Video released last month of the May 11 fatal shooting allegedly shows Apice shooting Bacioterracino in the side three times before administering a final gunshot to the man's head.
Apice disappeared into the crowd following the shooting and fled to the town of Caserta, police said.
Investigators would not offer specific details how they eventually located Apice in Caserta.
The release of the video on television and the Internet sparked concern from Italian officials like Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, ANSA reported.
''This video gives an impression of Naples very different from what it's really like," said Maroni, saying the video reinforces the theory that Naples is home to the Camorra crime syndicate.
