Denny Marucci, 55, of Italian nationality, was arrested on June 9 by ICE (American Immigration Service) agents in Tampa Bay, Florida. He reportedly fled Brazil while serving a sentence for the rape of a 4-year-old child in the country.

The US does not require a visa for citizens of Italy to enter the country. However, they are subject to the same restrictions as any other tourist, such as leaving the country after 90 days. Marucci, according to the local press, should have left the USA in 2023, but settled in Florida. The American TV channel Newsmax, which followed the ICE operation to arrest him, said Marucci was taken to a screening center in Louisiana, where he remained until his deportation flight, which departed from an air base in northern Florida. Images from the report show the Italian boarding with his hands handcuffed and his arms chained to his waist, unlike other deportees.
