This morning, the Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Catanzaro launched a significant operation in the district of Lamezia Terme, leading to the execution of a precautionary custody order. The initiative was orchestrated at the request of the District Anti-Mafia Directorate (Dda) of Catanzaro and involved a total of 59 people, of whom 50 were arrested and 9 placed under house arrest.
The suspects face serious charges ranging from mafia association to criminal association, with the aggravating circumstance of drug trafficking. This operation highlights a complex picture of organized criminal activities, where the operational methods and purposes are closely tied to mafia interests.
According to the investigations, the suspects would have operated online, managing illicit trafficking and maintaining relationships with other criminal groups. This demonstrates the intensification of the ‘ndrangheta’s activities in the region. Local authorities have stressed the importance of these actions in the fight against organised crime, highlighting the crucial role of law enforcement in maintaining public safety.
This operation is part of a broader context of the fight against organized crime in Italy, where the DDA continues to fight against mafia infiltration in communities. Despite the successes achieved, a constant commitment by the institutions to prevent the spread of crime remains essential. Local authorities urge citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. With active collaboration between citizens and law enforcement, it is hoped to further reduce the influence of the ‘Ndrangheta and ensure a safer future for generations to come.
