Deception
(80%)
The article is deceptive because it uses emotional manipulation and sensationalism to portray the mafia boss as a dangerous and violent criminal without providing any context or evidence for his crimes. It also omits important information about the source of Raduano's escape, such as whether he had help from other inmates or prison staff, and how he managed to evade capture for so long. The article does not mention that Raduano was recaptured with the help of Europol, which is a credible law enforcement agency that tracks and combats organized crime across Europe. The article also fails to disclose the motives or goals of the fifth mafia, which could provide some insight into their actions and violence. By not providing these details, the article creates a negative impression of Raduano and his clan without giving any balance or nuance.
