Time to change the name of the FBI to Facebook Bureau of Investigation?

What’s the only thing better than Mafia Wars on Facebook (which boast 25 million players, reportedly)? Real life Mafia on Facebook.

[…] Apparently the Mafiosi share the same addiction to the world’s top website and largest social network that the rest of us do.

That addiction led to this week’s arrest of mobster Pasquale Manfredi. Manfredi, 33 years-old, was the boss of the notorious ‘Ndrangheta mafia organization from the Calabria region in southern Italy.

Manfredi reportedly loved Facebook and had over 200 friends. He would regularly log in from his safe house where he was hiding from police and chat with his buddies. He went by the name “Georgie” and logged in, reportedly, using a pre-paid wireless internet thumb-drive. In the end, his frequent chats allowed police to locate his secret hideout and storm it. When the police made their entry, Manfredi reportedly had just been in the middle of an intense Facebooking session. He tried to flee to the rooftop, where he was apprehended.

The Italian authorities are thrilled to finally have the dangerous criminal in custody. They’re also investigating his Facebook friends list to see if it provides clues that would help them track down other fugitive Mafia members.
