Matteo Messina Denaro, a fugitive from Sicily who has been wanted for 30 years, has finally been captured bringing an end to a major worldwide man-𓄧hunt which bizarrely touched the F1 community two years ago.

A 54-year-old British man from 🌳Liverpool was grabbed by police in The Hague, Netherlands, in 2021 because they incorrect🎀ly thought he was Denaro.

Mark L, as the innocent man is known, hಌad a hood pulled over his face by the police as he at💜e at a restaurant with his son and a friend.

The Dutch police beli💎eved that the fugitive mafia boss was in their country - bu♓t they were wrong.

Mark L was only in the Netherlands bec🤪ause he attended the F1 Dutch Grand Prix.

His lawyer at the time said: "I was always convinced he was not [the mafia boss]. It would have been a genius of an Italian to have such a st♐rong Liverpool accಞent.

"You can imagine. He had anger and disbelief and⛎ laughter because it is ludicrous. He is a normal Formula One fan."
