The killer Valerio Salvatore Crivello has been extradited from Germany, where he had fled and lived after changing his name and surname with fake documents. He was captured last September after a three-year escape, facilitated by the fact that the criminal had obtained house arrest, albeit with the obligation of an electronic bracelet.
Crivello arrived in Italy, coming from Hamburg and accompanied by personnel from the International Police Cooperation Service of the Central Criminal Police Directorate, Valerio Salvatore Crivello, a 'Ndrangheta fugitive arrested last September 4 on the island of Sylt (Germany), a paradise for windsurfers from all over the world.
Originally from Casale Monferrato, 45 years old, linked to the Scofano-Martello-La Rosa clan of Paola, he was initially arrested following the final life sentence issued, in the context of the Spider Web Police Operation, by the Court of Appeal of Catanzaro, for the aggravated murder by the mafia method of Pietro Serpa, committed on May 27, 2003 in Paola.
On November 20, 2020, after learning from his lawyer of the final ruling of the Supreme Court of Cassation, Crivello had left his parents' home in Scorze (Venice), where he was under house arrest with an electronic bracelet. In Italy, the search for him never stopped, and the investigative synergy between the Investigative Carabinieri Unit of Venice and the I-Can Unit of the International Police Cooperation Service of the Central Criminal Police Directorate, allowed the Bundespolizei to locate and capture the fugitive on September 4, 2023, after a flight lasting about 3 years. Crivello had rebuilt a life and a reputation as a personal trainer at a well-known resort on the island of Sylt, using counterfeit documents and false generalities. The investigations were directed and coordinated by the General Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Appeal of Catanzaro.
