Confidences to the undercover Belgian agent: "San Luca is the mother of the 'Ndrangheta"

In the "Eureka" investigation there is the hand of an infiltrated Belgian agent, capable of penetrating the Calabrian criminal environments of Genk . «The investigative emergencies collected - notes the Dda of Reggio - have made it possible to ascertain the existence and functioning of a stable criminal association headed by elements of the Strangio "Fracascia" family of San Luca , in whose ranks operate exponents of the gangs of 'ndrangheta of the Nirta "Versu" and Strangio "Janchi", protagonists of the Duisburg massacre , as well as the other families of Giampaolo "Nardo", Giorgio "Suppera", the so-called "Tranca", as well as the Pipicella, the latter in turn linked to the gang of Mammoliti "Fischiante".

A precise "map", with roles and responsibilities. The accusations of drug trafficking are black and white , based on a series of negotiations in which the infiltrator was personally involved, even between South America and Ecuador.
The suspects flaunted their origins and links with San Luca . In a report from 2022, the Carabinieri del Ros line up a series of episodes thanks again to the contribution of the Belgian agent. The common thread lies in the close ties with people involved in the Duisburg massacre and in the sharing of the (dis)values ??of the 'Ndrangheta: "They don't know who my father is and who is behind me from San Luca".

Marcello Nirta born in 1966, for whom "the family is the most important thing in life", confided in the agent, explaining that his father Domenico Antonio born in 1931 had forced him "to open the pizzeria" and therefore a legal business , to create cover for criminal activities. "First you have to have a real business to do something else," he would have advised him according to the reports of the infiltrator. On the other hand, the father, who died in 2020, would have been "the last of the Nirtas in Belgium" and for this he enjoyed "much respect". For Marcello Nirta , after all, « the 'Ndrangheta is not a bad thing», because «people see only negative things but currently the 'Ndrangheta gives a lot of help to poor people, the people of 'Ndrangheta have balls and are courageous».

It is useless to underline that the vision is distorted, similar to that of Giuseppe Nirta , who during the lockdown invites the insider to lunch at his home. And between a video on San Luca and the 'Ndrangheta and another on the Duisburg massacre, he explains to the interlocutor that "San Luca is the mother of the 'Ndrangheta". The agent asks how to become a member. «Members already affiliated vouch for you in front of the organization». Finally the rituals: «I prick a finger with blood, a holy picture of the Madonna is wetted and then the holy picture is set on fire. When this happens, you are affiliated forever».
