In an operation conducted today in Italy, Spain and Albania, special intervention teams arrested 28 criminals of Italian and Albanian nationality.
Europol, together with Italian forces, have dealt a serious blow to the 'Ndrangheta criminal organization. In an operation carried out today in Italy, Spain and Albania, special intervention teams arrested 28 criminals of Italian and Albanian nationality.
Among the detained individuals is an Italian citizen from the Calabria region suspected of setting up a criminal structure for cocaine trafficking in the San Basilio area of Rome.
This individual, along with his three sons, is suspected of collaborating closely with an Albanian criminal group, which dealt with some of the logistical aspects of the drug trafficking trade.
Albanian members of this network are suspected of organizing the extraction of cargoes from various Spanish and Dutch ports, as well as the subsequent transport to Italy. In addition, they were responsible for the sale of drugs in other parts of Rome.
Investigations revealed that the cocaine sold in Italy was purchased in South America and transported in containers to ports across Europe. The transport from the port of Gioia Tauro in Calabria to Rome was allegedly facilitated by Calabrian criminal intermediaries.
The arrested individuals are suspected of having trafficked at least 1019 kilograms of cocaine and 1497 kg of hashish in 80 trafficking operations. Prosecutors suspect that four Italian individuals kidnapped a drug trafficker, causing him physical and psychological harm, an example of serious violence linked to the 'Ndrangheta criminal organization. The torture was filmed on a mobile phone, and the video was then disseminated with the aim of instilling fear, silence and submission in members of the Rome-based criminal group.
This complex investigation also revealed the sophisticated communication methods used to exchange information within the criminal organization. To avoid detection by authorities, its members relied on encrypted messages via devices distributed by an Albanian criminal service provider, who was also arrested on July 8.
