Revealed, mafia acid killer turned pizza chef ...

... and a little boy’s order they should have refused

A MAFIA fugitive who ‘ dissolved his victims in acid’ has been found working as a pizza chef after 17 years on the run.

Convicted murderer Edgardo Greco was arrested in Saint-Etienne, southern France, where he worked as a ‘pizzaiolo’ in a restaurant. Greco, 63, used the alias Paolo Dimitrio.

He was previously part of Italy’s most powerful organised crime group, the ’Ndrangheta, was wanted for two murders and attempted murder during a mafia war in Calabria in the 1990s.

He became so confident he would never be found that he gave an interview to a newspaper in 2021. In the story, headlined ‘Paolo Dimitrio opens the restaurant of his dreams’, Greco said: ‘Here, there’s no spaghetti bolognese.’

Colonel Agatino Saverio Spoto, a Carabinieri commander involved in the hunt for the fugitive, said: ‘He was betrayed by his passion for cooking.’

Greco was convicted in absentia to life in prison for the murders of brothers, Stefano and Giuseppe Bartolomeo, who were beaten to death in 1991 with a metal bar in Calabria.

Their corpses were never recovered and investigators believe they were dissolved in acid.

He is also accused of the attempted murder of alleged mafia gangster Emiliano Mosciaro. Greco, who went on the run in 2006, was captured after an investigation by Interpol and French and Italian police.

SIX-YEAR-OLD Mason Stonehouse was feeling peckish when his father allowed him to play with his phone.

Keith Stonehouse said he could play a game before bed while his wife was out.

But as he was putting Mason to bed, food delivery drivers began arriving at their home near Detroit, Michigan.

Mr Stonehouse said: ‘I finally asked one of them what they were delivering. He said we ordered chicken shawarmas.

‘I took the food and then it hit me. I looked at my phone with repeated messages that my food was getting ready, my food was being delivered.

‘I looked at my bank account and it was getting drained’.

His son had placed dozens of orders totalling $1,000 (£828) on a food delivery app.

Speaking to the BBC, Mason said he ordered ‘more than 12’ portions of chilli cheese fries.

When Mr Stonehouse tried to tell his son off, the boy merely replied: ‘Dad, did th e pepperoni pizzas come yet?’

Mason’s parents took $115 (£95) from his piggy bank to pay for the food and teach him the value of money – leaving him with one cent.

Mr Stonehouse has since changed his passwords.
