Indonesia to deport fugitive back to Italy

Indonesian police said they will escort back to Italy an Italian-Australian fugitive who was arrested on Indonesia’s tourist island of Bali after seven years on the run in connection with drug trafficking and organized crime.

Antonio Strangio, 32, appeared on Interpol's “Red Notice” list when he was stopped and detained in Bali on 3 February after arriving from Malaysia. Strangio is wanted in Italy to face charges of trafficking 160 kilogrammes of marijuana. He is allegedly connected to the 'Ndrangheta, a prominent Italian organized crime syndicate.
