Local media reported that the alleged criminal kingpin changed luxury apartments every three months to avoid being caught. Police took their cue from a pool table that Nocella took with him when moving locations. They were able to trace the table and find Nocella\u2019s most recent place of residence, allowing them to detain him.<\/p>\n<p>The arrest was the result of a joint investigation known as Operation Minerva, conducted by the Colombian National Police, Italian Police, the UK authorities, and Europol. The 58-year-old was the subject of an Interpol Red Notice, issued by the anti-drug agency in Naples, and was wanted for criminal conspiracy and drug trafficking. The investigation established that he had settled in Colombia after fleeing Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Colombia is the top coca cultivator in the world, producing 60% of the world\u2019s cocaine, followed by Peru and Bolivia, according to the EU Drugs Agency.<\/p>\n<p>Cultivation of coca bush increased by 10% in Colombia last year, according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The figure means that potential cocaine production rose by 53% in 2023 compared to the previous year, and has seen ten consecutive years of growth, UNODC said last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Mesa de billar delat\u00f3 al nuevo \u2018Padrino\u2019 de la mafia italiana!
