Convicted Mafia boss Domenico Rancadore has been rearrested by police in west London just a month after he avoided extradition from the UK to Italy.
Rancadore, known as The Professor, was detained after a fresh European Arrest Warrant was received from Italy.
The warrant alleges the 65-year-old has an outstanding sentence of seven years to serve for "participation in Mafia association between 1987 and 1995".
Rancadore is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court later.
In March, Rancadore won a battle against extradition from the UK to Italy, when a judge ruled that prison conditions there would breach his human rights.
Later that month, he heard he would not face an appeal against that ruling because the Crown Prosecution Service had missed a deadline to lodge the appeal.
Following that missed deadline, District Judge Quentin Purdy granted him unconditional bail and told him he was free to go.
Rancadore was first arrested in August last year under a European Arrest Warrant for the same allegations.
For 20 years he had evaded Italian authorities who accused him of fleeing Italy where he faced trial over his alleged Cosa Nostra "man of honour" connections and was convicted in his absence.
'Terrible experience'Rancadore and his wife moved with their two children to Uxbridge in west London in 1994 and lived under the name of Skinner, the maiden name of Mrs Rancadore's British mother.
At a previous hearing, Rancadore said he came to the UK to give his children "a good life", and to bring his time in Italy to an end.
He said the trial in which he was a defendant in the mid-1980s - involving 460 defendants, one of whom was his father - was a "terrible experience".
Asked about changing his name to Marc Skinner, he said it was to end ties with Italy, adding: "This was the only way."
Rancadore said he did not even contact his mother or father back home, saying: "I wanted to end everything with Sicily."
