Danilo Coppola, a prominent Roman real estate entrepreneur, has been extradited to Italy from the United Arab Emirates.

Coppola, known as one of the "furbetti del quartierino," was arrested in Abu Dhabi last December under an international arrest warrant issued by the Milan prosecutor's office.

He faces a remaining prison sentence of over six years for bankruptcy related to the collapse of several companies, including Porta Vittoria.

Italian Justice Minister Carlo Nordio expressed satisfaction with the extradition, highlighting the successful judicial cooperation with the UAE.

Coppola's legal troubles continue, with additional charges pending for fraudulent bankruptcy and attempted extortion.

His extradition marks a significant step in Italy's efforts to ensure accountability for financial crimes committed by its citizens abroad.
