Overview

• Morra was detained early Sunday in his hometown by Polizia di Stato with support from the Guardia di Finanza.
• He went on the run in February after avoiding execution of a definitive 12-year-and-six-month sentence for a 2022 attempted raid on the Mondialpol vault in Calcinato.
• Prosecutors in Brescia and Bari led the multiagency investigation, with operational support from SCO, SCICO, GICO and local Squadre Mobili units.
• Investigators had identified Morra as a top figure in the Cerignola-based "batterie cerignolane," a group allegedly planning armed assaults on cash-in-transit vehicles.
• The arrest triggers enforcement of the roughly nine years and six months still outstanding on his final conviction.
