NSW:Italy arrests Sydney murder suspect
SYDNEY, Aug 20 AAP - A suspect in the brutal stabbing murders of two Sydney brothers
has been arrested by Italian detectives.
Giuseppe Di Cianni, 64, was arrested in Cosenza, in southern Italy, by agents of the
"squadra mobile" (flying squad) on August 18, the Calabrian Daily (Quotidiana di Calabria)
newspaper reported.
An international warrant for his arrest was issued by Australian authorities after
Mr Di Cianni left Australia in May 2009.
A week earlier, brothers Mario and Albert Frisoli, both in their 50s, were found stabbed
to death in their home at Rozelle, in Sydney's inner west.
Mr Di Cianni was a former business partner of Albert's, and one of several persons
of interest police wanted to question over the brother's deaths.
At the time of the murders, he was embroiled in a complex battle in the Supreme Court
with the Albert Frisoli, a property developer.
In legal action filed in July 2006, Albert sought to have a company under Mr Di Cianni's
directorship, AIAN Investments, wound up and liquidated.
Mr Di Cianni is expected to face extradition proceedings in Italy.
A spokeswoman for the NSW Attorney-General's Department confirmed that Mr Di Cianni
had been arrested.
"As this matter is currently being considered by Italian authorities it is not appropriate
to comment further," she told AAP on Friday.
