Gioacchino Gammino, who escaped from prison in Rome nineteen years ago, had been on the run since 2002. The Italian mafia boss was a convicted murderer and on the Sicilian police’s most wanted mobster list. For years, the police have investigated and traced him to Spain but could not locate him precisely.
Months ago, a Google Street View image pictured two men standing outside a small shop in a town near Madrid. Though their faces were vague in the picture, the police recognized Gammino with the scar on his left chin. They soon confirmed his identity through other information gathered on the internet. Gammino married a local woman and became a chef and an owner of a fruit and vegetable shop in Spain.
The fugitive was finally arrested in December 2021, and the details of the capture came to light after being reported in the Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
Gioacchino Gammino 十九年前從羅馬的一所監獄中逃脫,從 2002 年開始展開了長達將近二十年的大逃亡。這個義大利黑手黨老大是一個已被判刑的殺人犯,且長踞西西里警方最亟欲逮捕的幫派份子名單上。這幾年來,警方持續搜尋他的行蹤、循線追查到西班牙,卻始終難以找到他確切的藏身位置。
幾個月前,一張「Google 街景服務」的照片拍到了兩名男子站在西班牙首都馬德里附近一座城鎮的小店外。雖然照片中男子的臉部模糊難辨,但警方從其中一名男子左下巴的傷疤認出了 Gammino。警方隨後從網路上蒐集到的其他資訊確認了這名男子就是 Gammino。原來 Gammino 已經在西班牙娶妻,不只改名換姓,還變成廚師、在當地開了餐廳還有蔬果行。
這名逃犯終於在 2021 年 12 月落網,而這整個追查逮捕的細節,直到義大利媒體 La Repubblica 完整報導後,才終於曝了光。
come to light 字面上的意思是「走到燈光下」,延伸為「(真相、事情的細節)曝光、揭露給人們知道」的意思。
例句:With more and more information coming to light, the public gets to see the whole picture.
隨著越來越多的資訊曝了光,大眾也逐漸了解事情的全貌。
