ROME — A convicted Mafia boss who got out of jail by faking paralysis and anorexia and then fled house arrest has been arrested at a restaurant after more than two months on the run.
Officers arrested Carmelo Di Stefano, 36, on Monday as he dined at a seaside village near the Sicilian city of Catania. Police official Giovanni Signer said that when officers asked him why he was not in a wheelchair, Di Stefano answered, “It’s a miracle!” Signer said the boss had faked his condition, using “his willpower” to reach the weight of 84 pounds.
