Photo: Jacques Munch/AFPItalian police on Wednesday captured a notorious Calabrian mobster wanted over a 2007 mafia massacre in which six people died in the German city of Duisburg. Santo Vottari, 45, was captured in a tiny hideout in a flat at Benestare, near the southern Italian city of Reggio-Calabria. The Calabria region is home to the 'Ndrangheta organized crime syndicate, now considered Italy's most powerful mafia group. "I'd like to congratulate the police... for bringing one of Italy's most wanted and dangerous men to justice," Minniti said. Giovanni Strangio was convicted in 2011 of being the mastermind and one of the authors of the Duisburg killings.
