For those who live or frequent Malindi the story of Mario Mele, manager of Pata Pata bar in the Nakumatt mall, it's not a mystery.
That journeyman active part of the night life (in Italian ran the premises of Sardinia, and Malindi bar before he was to launch the eponymous nightclub) was sought from Finance to escape, he was well known and he himself did not deny .
Mario is one of the few Italians who are part of a Malindi "Eighties" which is fortunately disappearing, that of "escapees" who are trying to rebuild another life, maybe remedying with work and conduct cleaner to certain Italian misdeeds.
Several times in the past the Italian and Kenyan authorities had tried to extradite him, but this time the international arrest warrant does not seem to give a chance to the entrepreneur, who in the course of an operation carried out two days ago in its establishment, has been taken away .
It will be the High Court to rule, but it seems that this time the inaction Kenyan Apple's over.
The Italian arrest, however, is part of a series of joint operations and controls of European police and Kenyan authorities to "clean up" the coast from presences that are unclaimed at home. Kenyan authorities are fighting against corruption and finding the way to collaborate with european government.
A crackdown that can only be good for a more clean and modern with a place of attraction as the Kenyan coast.
there are few, at least with regard to compatriots in Malindi and Watamu.
Maybe a few, but it is hoped that they been rimpatriated.
And if the justice of our house, after these individuals will be presented to face charges they made, they will be deemed innocent or pay for any crimes, Kenya will be ready to take them back without any problems or suspicion or prejudice.
