Organized crime takes a huge hit as Michele Zangaria is taken into Italian Police custody for those who aren't familiar Zangaria is a powerful Italian Camorrista and one of the bosses of the Casalesi clan from Casal di Principe in the province of Caserta northwest of Naples. He has been on the "most wanted list" of the Italian ministry of the Interior from 1995 until 2011, for Camorra association, murder, extortion, robbery and other crimes. On February 8, 2000, an international warrant was issued against him, to be arrested for extradition.Zagaria is an a-typical Casalesi boss. According to informants, he doesn't refuse a few lines of cocaine, a strict taboo within the clan. He insists on being treated like a priest: 'You should do what I say and not what I do.' He knows how to build his image. Employees are received in extravagant villas and greeted with a tiger on a leash. Together with his brother Pasquale he has become the “king of tendering” in construction, getting public contracts for the high-speed train Tav, a new prison, the local rail line and a NATO radar base.He was sentenced to life on June 19, 2008, after 10-year trial – named the Spartacus Trial – against 36 members of the Casalesi clan charged with a string of murders and other crimes.He was arrested on December 7, 2011, in
