You might remember the great line uttered by Al Pacino in The Godfather: Part III, "Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in."
Well, a mobster in Italy might change that to: "Just when I WAS out... they took me in," after he was arrested as he awakened following liposuction surgery.
Domenico Magnoli was wanted on drug-related organized crime charges. He had been on the run for a year, and when he woke up from the weight loss procedure, Magnoli discovered that his bed was surrounded by police officers posing as well-wishers, who then took him into custody. The cops even carried flowers and boxes of chocolates to greet Magnoli with as he woke up.
Wonder if prosecutors will make him an offer that he can't refuse?
