'Ndrangheta and politics in Reggio, 18 on trial – NAMES
For 11 defendants the ordinary trial opens, for the other 7 the abbreviated one after the summer. The position of Neri and Sera still to be clarified
Published: 05/17/2025 – 8:31

REGGIO CALABRIA Starting in September for the trial born from the “Ducale” investigation of the DDA of Reggio Calabria against the Araniti clan of Sambatello who allegedly played an active role in the regional elections of 2020 and 2021 and in the administrative elections of September 2020. The preliminary hearing judge of the Reggio Calabria Court – Francesca Mesto – has in fact ordered the trial before the collegiate court for 11 defendants. For another 7, however, the trial will be abbreviated.

The names
Among the 11 defendants are: Daniel Barillà (class of '85); Martina Giustra (class of '94); Caterina Iannò (class of '96); Natale Corsaro (class of '98); Antonio Pio Dascola (class of '01) – who will have to answer to the charges regarding the alleged electoral fraud in the “88” polling station in Sambatello. And then: Fortunato Bilardi (class of '40); Sergio Rugolino (class of '62); Carmelo Trapani (class of '73); Domenico Rugolino; Michele Marcianò and Nino Francesco Santisi. In the bunker courtroom for the abbreviated trial there will be: Domenico Araniti “the Duke” (class of '52); Pietro Araniti “Full” (class of '37); Francesco Araniti “U parenti” (class of '59); Antonio Modafferi “the architect” (class of '53); Nicola Dascola (b. '67); Giuseppe Barillà (b. '60) and Antonio Repaci (b. '59).

Black and Evening
The position of the regional councilor of Fratelli d'Italia, Giuseppe Neri, that of the municipal councilor of the PD, Giuseppe Sera, and of the entrepreneur with a passion for politics, an expression of the Democrats, Daniel Barillà, still all to be decided. The first two, after the Court of Cassation had rejected the appeal of the Dda that had requested the arrest of the two politicians, did not appear in the request for indictment, and the same goes for Barillà. It will therefore be necessary to wait for the reasons of the Cassation that rejected the appeal of the Dda to definitively dissolve their position. (redazione@corrierecal.it)

A Rai documentary tells the story of the 'ndrangheta in Emilia-Romagna – VIDEO
It's called "Aemilia 220 - The Mafia on the banks of the Po", it will be broadcast on Friday 23 May in prime time on Rai 2

ROME The expansion of the 'ndrangheta in Emilia-Romagna , a region considered until a few years ago immune from mafia infiltration: Claudio Canepari and Giuseppe Ghinami tell the story for the first time in a systematic and cinematic way in " Aemilia 220 - The Mafia on the banks of the Po ", a docufiction co-produced by Rai Fiction - Fidelio with the support of the Emilia-Romagna Region through Emilia-Romagna Film Commission, broadcast on Friday 23 May, in prime time on Rai 2. The reference to "220", in the title, is not just a number: it is the symbol of the systemic scope of an investigation that has broken the silence and revealed how modern, mimetic and transversal the mafia has become. "Our goal - says director Claudio Canepari - is not only to inform, but to shake. Show how mafia infiltration is not a phenomenon confined to the South, but a ramified system, which has managed to insinuate itself into the daily life of Emilian cities, camouflaging itself among companies, contracts and social relations. We have worked to convey the complexity of this story, without simplifications, but with the awareness that clarity is a political act". At the heart of the story is the largest mafia trial ever held in Northern Italy, with 220 arrests, a specially built bunker courtroom and hundreds of audio and video interceptions that reveal a changed criminality: no longer pizzo and lupara, but jacket and tie, with transversal ties with politics, institutions and local media. Through interviews with investigators, magistrates, journalists and thanks to an immersive reconstruction - authorial signature of Claudio Canepari and Giuseppe Ghinami - the docufiction transforms the trial papers into a civil thriller capable of shaking consciences, also through unpublished archive documents, interceptions and direct testimonies. The cast includes Fabio Melchionna as the boss of the Cutro clan Romolo Villirillo ; Savino Paparella plays Antonio Gualtieri, another big shot in the Emilian 'ndrangheta; Cosimo Ribezzi is the boss Nicola Grande Aracri ; Jessica Giuliani plays Roberta Tattini, the banking and financial consultant in the pay of the Emilian mafia. Paolo Bonacini and Giovanni Tizian are the narrators. Between 2000 and 2010, a long trail of attacks, arson attacks and unsolved murders crosses Emilia-Romagna, without anyone really being able to explain the meaning: in Brescello, the town of Don Camillo and Peppone, there is a murder carried out by killers dressed as carabinieri ; in Reggio Emilia, instead, a bomb explodes in a bar in the center and another devastates the Revenue Agency of Sassuolo. What seems to be just a series of isolated episodes is actually the tip of the iceberg of a new mafia: the 'ndrangheta 2.0. An organization that has abandoned weapons for the strategy of infiltration: tax fraud, false invoicing, money laundering, waste disposal, logistics, cement cycle. A crime that "makes more money with invoices than with drugs", as the bosses themselves declare, intercepted by investigators. "Aemilia 220 - The Mafia on the banks of the Po" follows step by step the investigations started in 2010 and culminated in 2015 with the most impressive anti-mafia blitz in the North: 220 arrests, a maxi-operation that involves Calabrian bosses but also professionals , politicians, entrepreneurs and public officials from Emilia .
