Mafia boss Marco Raduano, 40, made the daring escape amid short staffing at the maximum security prison.
The mob boss was reportedly said to be a model prisoner who had used his job on an upper-floor library to study the schedules of guards who patrolled the facility, and timed his escape accordingly.
“The prisoner from Puglia escaped in a daring way from one of the safest penitentiaries in Italy. It seems he had everything ready and that the escape was well planned for some time,” Villa said,“We have been denouncing [the] lack of personnel for months and this is the main factor that compromised security.”
Raduano was arrested in 2018 and jailed for 18 years for cocaine trafficking, according to the report. Additionally, he was facing murder charges when he busted out of the big house, the article said. The crime lord presides over a notoriously violent criminal outfit that’s known for shattering their victims’ skulls with shotgun blasts to deprive their families of open-casket funerals, The Times reported. His personal arsenal of weapons was said to be guarded by a boa constrictor.
Raduano’s escape coincided with a fireworks display in his hometown of Vieste, prompting the local mayor to issue a statement denying that the celebration was tied to the prison break
