Under arrest in Spain.
Police in Barcelona release footage of the arrest of Carmelo Gallico -- an alleged Calabrian mafia boss.
Gallico, was arrested on December 23 in collaboration with the Italian Police.
Police in Spain say he is a member of one of the most powerful criminal groups of the Calabrian mafia in Italy. He was in Barcelona after many members of his family had been arrested in Italy.
Police say he is accused of homicide, extortion and money laundering among other charges.
Extradition proceedings to Italy are pending.
