The Partenopei were defeated 2-0 at San Siro, and Italian police used the occasion to arrest Roberto Manganiello, listed as one of Italy’s 100 most dangerous criminals.

The 35-year-old was linked to a double homicide in 2004, which began a bloody gang war in Naples.

Mangianello was arrested during the match on Saturday night, when detectives disguised as pizza delivery boys visited his home in Orta di Atella.
