Italian fugitive Vincenzo La Porta, listed as one of the country’s most dangerous men, masterfully evaded capture for more than a decade. But it all came crashing down last week after cops finally arrested him, intercepting him on a motor scooter after 11 years on the run. Evidently, La Porta couldn’t resist partying in honor of his home squad SSC Napoli after the team won the Serie A title in May. He attended a celebration of the team, which would eventually be his downfall after cops spotted him in a photo from the party and tipped them off to his location—the Greek island of Corfu. “The Carabinieri recognized him in a photo taken on the facade of a restaurant. He wore a baseball cap on his head, a blue scarf in his hands,” Italy’s national police force, the Carabinieri, said in a statement Saturday. “Betraying him was his passion for soccer and for the Napoli team.”
