Hungarian and Italian police have carried out an operation against the ‘Ndrangheta criminal organisation. During a joint action day, eight persons were arrested. They are suspected of mafia-type criminal association, international money laundering and fraudulent transfer of values.

The operation is a follow-up to a wider investigation concluded in 2019 against the same criminal organisation.

In addition to the eight arrests, investigators seized assets worth approximately EUR 3 million, including bank accounts, real estate, vehicles and a yacht. Four real estate companies were also seized, three of which in Budapest and one in Milan.
