However, the photo was seen by Spanish police, who tipped off their Italian counterparts as to the couple's whereabouts.

The cops worked together to trace the reputed mobster, and arrested a stunned D'Avino as he filled his car with petrol.

Marshall Angelo Mazzagatti of Naples police explained: 'He couldn't believe it when police arrived and arrested him. He thought after nearly a decade on the run he was home free.

'When we saw the pictures on Facebook we could not believe his girlfriend had been so stupid. It was very easy to track them down as she was stood in front of a restaurant sign in Marbella.'

Marshall Mazzagatti added that D'Avino was 'not at all happy' with his Moroccan-born girlfriend.

D'Avino is believed to be a member of the Giuliano clan of the Comorra, the mafia that runs organised crime in Naples, and has been on the run for ten years after making Italy's list of the 100 most wanted fugitives.

Earlier this year, alleged mobster Donato Fratto was arrested by Italian police after he used Facebook to publicise the fact he was travelling to a biker's rally, allowing cops to trace him.
