A transsexual Mafia boss has been arrested by police in what is believed to be the first case of its kind.

Ugo Gabriele, 27, who insisted on being called Kitty, was held by armed officers in a raid which also saw 27 other mobsters arrested.

Gabriele ran a sophisticated drugs and prostitution racket and his clan had dozens of members.

His mugshot showed him as thickset and butch-looking but he also had very defined plucked feminine eyebrows and was wearing lip stick when held in Naples.

The southern Italian port city is a popular destination for British holidaymakers en route to Sorrento but is also home to the local Mafia, known as the 'Camorra'.

A police spokesman said: 'We have been on Kitty's trail for several months and it is the first time that we have ever arrested a transsexual Mob boss.

A disguise I can understand but the Mafia must really be changing to accept an actual transsexual boss.

LOL.

“La cosa nostra” means ‘our little thing’. It was code for when two mafioso met, they would not say “how is our ongoing criminal enterprise running?” because someone might overhear; they would say “how is ‘our little thing’?”

"Luigi Romolo Carrino, a top Mafia author, based in Italy said: 'There is a lot more homosexual activity in the Mob than you think but it is very discreet.'"

Coming to a movie screen near you...... ;)

“A disguise I can understand”

First thing that came to mind was Vincent “The Chin” acting like a nutjob for many years to try to avoid prosecution.

Gives “going to the mattresses” a whole new meaning, huh?

Did I just type that?

The left coast or North East thugs will welcome IT with
open arms, IT could have a choice of most pubic offices.
