Attilio Cubeddu among the three most dangerous fugitives included in the list of the Giirl (integrated joint force group for the search for fugitives) .
Together with the Sardinian criminal on the list are the Camorra member Renato Cinquegranella and Giovanni Motisi, affiliated with Cosa Nostra .
Several fugitives have been arrested recently: from Matteo Messina Denaro to Pasquale Bonavota, from Francesco Pelle to Rocco Morabito. Three of the most dangerous individuals brought to justice in 2024: Andrea Deiana , captured in Mexico City on 12 January, Marco Raduano , the boss who escaped from Badu 'e Carros prison and arrested in Corsica on 1 February, and Gianluigi Troiano , affiliated with the Apulian crime like Raduano, who escaped from house arrest in 2021 and was captured in Spain on 30 January.
According to the report on the activity of the Giirl, presented just over a year after the arrest of Messina Denaro, from 2019 to 2023 64 subjects were included in the lists of fugitives: 6 of maximum danger (3 from the 'Ndrangheta, 2 from the Camorra and one, Cubeddu, defined as "responsible for serious crimes) and 58 dangerous. In the same five-year period, 55 fugitives were brought to justice, of which 7 were highly dangerous and 48 were dangerous.
CUBEDDU
Born in 1947 in Arzana, and known to the police from a very young age, he took part in several kidnappings between Emilia Romagna and Tuscany in the 1980s. In 1984 he was arrested in Riccione and sentenced to 30 years .
During a leave granted to him in 1997, he did not return to Badu 'e Carros prison and has been on the run since then. He has since been involved in the kidnapping of Giuseppe Soffiantini and in the murder of the Nocs policeman Samuele Donatoni : for the first crime he was sentenced to another 30 years in prison, for the second he was acquitted. He was also suspected, but never formally charged, of having played a role in the kidnapping of Silvia Melis.
For a certain period there was the hypothesis that he had been killed by an accomplice in order not to share the ransom money for the Soffiantini kidnapping, but in 2012 the prosecutor Domenico Fiordalisi reopened the investigations, convinced that in reality Cubeddu is alive and he is hiding in Ogliastra, protected by several supporters .
