Italian police have captured one of the country's most wanted mafia fugitives during a raid on a chicken farm near the southern city of Naples.

Salvatore Russo, 51, is the head of a Camorra clan which bears his name.

He has been on the run since being sentenced in 1995 to life in jail for murder and links to organised crime.

Police said he was found with weapons including a machine gun and a pistol, hiding behind a thick wall at the farm near the town of Somma Vesuviana.
