A suspected migrant trafficking boss was arrested in Ethiopia after two years on the run and has been extradited to face justice in Italy.

Temesghen Ghebru Ghebremedhin, 35, is “considered a key member of a vast transnational organisation dedicated to smuggling migrants from North Africa to Europe”, one of the sources told Reuters.

Judges in Palermo, Sicily, had issued an arrest warrant for him and several other alleged human traffickers in 2020, the sources said.
