Fugitive Italian Businessman Captured in Dramatic Home Arrest

Published: 2024-07-12

Giacomo Bozzoli, a 39-year-old Italian businessman convicted of murdering his uncle, was arrested on July 11 after 11 days on the run.

Bozzoli was found hiding in a bed drawer at his villa in Soiano del Lago, Italy.

He had fled to Spain with his family after learning of his life sentence, but unexpectedly returned home.

Investigators believe Bozzoli re-entered Italy 3-4 days after his partner and son, possibly to be near his child.

The arrest raises questions about potential accomplices and the details of his escape route.

Bozzoli was found with €50,000 in cash, suggesting plans for continued evasion.
