A 74-year-old Italian man was
arrested in Santo Domingo on Friday and will be extradited to
serve a five-year sentence for sexually abusing underage girls
while posing as a pranotherapist, an Indian healer of suffering
with hands.
Luciano Scibilia had settled down with a locally born wife and
their four children at Samanà, about 200 miles north of the
Dominican Republic capital and was continuing to get his monthly
pension via a woman friend who picked it up for him in Rome,
police said.
The man was the only Italian on Europol's list of 19 most wanted
sex offenders.
He was sentenced some years ago to five years and two months in
jail for abusing friends of his then partner's daughter after
promising them miracle cures with his methods of pranotherapy,
judicial sources aid.
