The alleged member of the notorious 'Ndrangheta crime gang was arrested in the Dominican Republic last Wednesday and has now been extradited to Italy.
Biart had reportedly been leading a peaceful life in the town of Boca Chica, police said in a statement.
He had been at large since 2014, when he was wanted by police for allegedly smuggling cocaine into the Netherlands.
Authorities consider the 'Ndrangheta one of the world's most powerful organised crime groups because it controls most of the cocaine entering Europe.
It is based in the Italian region of Calabria.
