London, Aug 26 (IANS) One of Italy's 100 most-wanted crooks was tracked down and arrested after his girlfriend posted their holiday photos on Facebook, a media report said.


Salvatore D'Avino, 39 - a member of the Naples mafia - was on the run for 10 years.

He and his 31-year-old pregnant Moroccan girlfriend were holidaying in Marbella, Spain, and posted pictures on Facebook, The Sun reported.

Italian police spotted the photos on the social networking website, and their Spanish counterparts swooped to arrest D'Avino.

D'Avino is wanted for drug trafficking.

Angelo Mazzagatti, of Naples police, said: "He thought after a decade on the run he was home free. He wasn't happy with his girlfriend. It was very easy to find them from photos of her standing in front of a restaurant sign."
