He was a fugitive since 1993 and included in the list of most wanted fugitives in Italy until his capture in May 2005.

He was the son of the notorious historical mob boss of the clan, Natale Iamonte, originally based in Melito di Porto Salvo on the Ionic coast of Calabria, yet the reach of the mob members quickly spread throughout Italy.

He was arrested on 14 May 2005, to serve a 20-year sentence on charges of mafia association and drug trafficking.{{in lang|it}} [http://www.corriere.it/Primo_Piano/Cronache/2005/05_Maggio/14/latitante.shtml Arrestato boss Iamonte, latitante da 12 anni], Corriere della Sera, 14 May 2005
