2020 is the year of a global attack on the 'Ndrangheta
30 December 2019

“The 'Ndrangheta is being established in several countries, where it finds unequipped legislation and markets that offer great development opportunities.
It does not do it in a military way, but silently infiltrating the economic, political and administrative fabric. Our plan is to develop awareness of the mafia threat in the world. For 2020, our goal is to launch a global attack on the 'Ndrangheta ". This is what the central director of the criminal police, Vittorio Rizzi, said during a press conference on the activities of the service for international police cooperation.

In 2019, according to Scip information, 61 fugitives were arrested at mafia criminal associations, led by the Camorra and ethnic mafia and followed by 'Ndrangheta, Cosa Nostra and Apulian mafias, with 29 million euros of assets seized in 12 countries of the world .

Almost 1,600 (to be exact 1,595) fugitives arrested in 2019, an average of more than four per day: 747 "active", that is, wanted by the Italian judicial authorities and tracked in 42 countries around the world, and 848 "passive", wanted by foreign authorities and captured in Italy. This is the balance of one of the key sectors of the International Police Cooperation Service (SCIP) activity outlined in a press conference at the Interior Ministry by the Central Director of the Criminal Police, Vittorio Rizzi. Almost 60% of the active fugitives were traced in five European countries (Romania, Spain, Germany, France, United Kingdom) while 50% of the fugitives arrested in Italy were sought by seven European judicial authorities (from Romania, Germany, France, Belgium, Poland, Spain, Austria).
