PALAZZOLO RE-ARRESTED

ALLEGED mafioso, Vito Palazzolo, was re-arrested at his Cape Town home this weekend and is expected to appear in court on Monday. The Directorate of Public Prosecutions said Palazzolo was re-arrested at his Bantry Bay home on Saturday in connection with fraud and forgery charges relating to his South African citizenship. He was arrested last November for the same charges and granted R500000 bail. Palazzolo is wanted by the Italian government in connection with the criminal activities of the Sicilian mafia.
