TORONTO — After an Air Canada flight from Toronto touched down in Rome Thursday, a posse of Italian police officers gathered at its door, waiting for one passenger they knew was onboard. Italian authorities said that while he lived in the shadows as a fugitive in the Toronto area, he was supported and protected by a large network of friends, family and Mafia associates. Shortly after his departure from Italy, Figliomeni was named in a large anti-Mafia probe in Italy. Figliomeni was arrested on March 10 by Toronto police when officers were conducting a liquor license inspection, the Post has learned. While in detention in Maplehurst prison in Milton, Ont., he agreed to leave Canada for Italy.
