  • On March 31, 2021, online trends hinted at a story about an Italian mafia fugitive purportedly being captured after appearing in YouTube cooking videos. It sounded a bit far-fetched. However, the story wasn't a joke. It was true. Two days earlier, the Agence France-Presse (AFP) published that the mafia fugitive in question was 53-year-old Marc Feren Claude Biart. While his face didn't show up in any of the cooking shows, his tattoos did. Police told the AFP that it was the tattoos appearing in the videos that led to his capture: A video on the YouTube channel for the Italian Ministry of the Interior also announced the arrest. The portion pertaining to Biart begins at the 1:21 mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQUtWrIVoVQ&t=81s According to the local reporting, it was the mafia fugitive's love of Italian cuisine that led to his idea to create cooking videos on YouTube. The videos purportedly showed a variety of recipes. We were unable to find any information or links to the specific YouTube videos that led to the arrest. We will update this story if any of the videos in question are located. (en)
