Already sentenced two months ago to a period of community service in the north of Italy for drug-trafficking, Venosa took advantage of a Christmas break to return to Naples, where he was accused of the extortion.
He is the third amateur actor from "Gomorrah" to be arrested for mafia activity. Salvatore Fabbricino and Bernardino Terracciano, who also played gang members, have been accused of having links with the Naples Camorra.
Saviano, 29, has been living under 24-hour police protection after receiving repeated death threats from the Camorra.
Since it was published in 2006, his expose has sold 1.2 million copies in Italy and been translated into some 40 languages.
