    The man betrayed by a scarf

    A chef in a blue baseball cap is leaning out over the balcony railing, smiling, wearing a sky-blue scarf which he takes off and begins to wave around to the adulation of those below. Napoli has just won their first Serie A title in 33 years,and half of Naples seemed to have relocated to a Greek island to celebrate. Except the man on the balcony wasn't just some over-excited Napoli fan. He was one of Italy's most wanted fugitives who'd been missing, and completely off the grid, for eleven years. And in about thirty seconds of pure football joy, he undid it all. This is the story of Vincenzo La Porta, football loyalty,and how it eventually caught up with him.
