An Italian man who took family savings of £37,000 and disappeared with his mistress was found after he was spotted in a movie scene.

45-year-old shop owner Martino Garibaldi took the money from a family bank account and left his home in Montecalvo. Detectives were hired in an attempt to track him down but to no avail.

Unfortunately for Garibaldi an eagle-eyed friend happened to be watching the Italian comedy Natale in Crociera (Christmas on a Cruise) and saw Garibaldi and his mistress in the background during one of the scenes.

His wife was informed and when she found out that the movie was filmed in the Dominican Republic she managed to trace him. She has since issued a lawsuit to get back the money he took.
