Mobster Wakes Up After Lipo to Post-Op Surprise

In Rome, police authorities arrested a known drug smuggler immediately following his liposuction surgery.

An AP report states that after the 27-year-old mobster Domenico Magnoli had undergone a liposuction procedure on his abdomen and thighs at the Italian clinic, officers disguised themselves as nurses and custodians in order to make the bust, carrying flowers and chocolates into his room.

Magnoli is supposed to be part of the 'ndrangheta crime syndicate, which is now more powerful than the Sicilian mafia, according to the story. He was arrested on a French warrant for drug trafficking and has been on the run for over a year.

In a rare comedic moment, Italian policeman Aldo Jacobello said "we performed a little operation of our own."
