According to multiple high-level investigative sources, 46-year-old Raffaele Imperiale, a former partner of the Dutch cocaine summit, has been arrested in Dubai. This is reported by de Telegraaf.
Imperiale has been on the run from the international investigation service for decades. The leader of the Camorra mafia from Naples has long been at the top of the 'most wanted' list in his native Italy. Imperiale also had a finger in the porridge in the Netherlands. He lived in Amsterdam for years, had stolen Van Gogh paintings hanging in his house, kept in close contact with Rico the Chilean via PGP messages and worked together with Ridouan Taghi.
Dubai
The Italian Mafia has been arrested in Dubai, where he and other European gangsters were able to stay out of the hands of the authorities for a long time. In 2017, he was spotted there by the American DEA, during the wedding of Irish top gangster Daniel Kinahan. The party took place in the very expensive 'seven-star hotel' Burj al Arab, where an average room costs 24,000 euros per night and guests are assigned their own Rolls-Royce with driver for transport. In addition to Imperiale, Edin G., the head of the Bosnian 'Tito and Dino cartel', was also spotted. Ridouan Taghi, who himself was also arrested in Dubai, is alleged to have been involved in this group of drug smugglers.
Van Gogh
From 2002, Imperiale was in possession of two very expensive works by Van Gogh, which were stolen from the Van Gogh Museum by master thief Okkie Durham. The paintings are said to have been used as collateral in the trade in South American coke. In 2016, they were found in an Imperiale home near Naples.
