Links with the 'Ndrangheta and the Sicilian mafia

The investigations, - reads a note from the DDA of Potenza - during which documents were acquired containing real affiliation rites, rules, organization charts and top roles of the gangs of the '' Ndrangheta, revealed the existence of solid ties maintained and consolidated over the years by the Lucanian association with some of the most accredited clans on the national territory, such as that of the "Pesce-Bellocco" of Rosarno (RC) and that of the Grande Aracri of Cutro(Kr), with whom a consistent and lasting relationship of criminal collaboration has been built up over the years.

Other extraterritorial criminal projections appear to involve exponents of both the Sicilian mafia, linked to the association of the Santapaola of Catania, and of associations and operating companies in Puglia and Basilicata.
