Police in the southern Italian city of Caserta on Wednesday put the son of jailed Naples mafia boss Francesco Schiavone under house arrest.
Carmine Schiavone was one of three people put under house arrest on suspicion of association with the Naples mafia or Camorra and extortion.
Naples anti-mafia prosecutors ordered the arrests.
Francesco Schiavone was sentenced to life on 19 June, 2008, after a 10-year trial – named the Spartacus Trial – against 36 members of the Casalesi clan charged with a string of murders and other crimes.
Schiavone, who until his arrest in 1998, headed the Camorra's bloodthirsty Casalesi clan from Casal di Principe in the province of Caserta.
Due to his thick black beard, he was dubbed 'Sandokan' after a popular 1970s television series starring Indian actor Kabir Bedi.
Prior to his arrest Schiavone was on the run for five years and fathered three of his six children during this time.
