Mafia boss caught out

A convicted Mafia boss who got out of jail by faking paralysis and anorexia has been arrested at a restaurant after more than two months on the run.

Carmelo Di Stefano was dining at a seaside village near the Sicilian city of Catania, which he had reached at the wheel of a sports car.

When officers asked him why he was not in a wheelchair, he answered: "It's a miracle!"

He had been sentenced to 30 years' jail but was allowed to serve the sentence at his wife's home in Bologna after being hospitalised twice.
