Italian prosecutor: ‘Ndrangheta is top crime group in West

The Associated Press

September 22, 2020, 3:18 PM

ROME (AP) — Italy’s top anti-mafia prosecutor said Tuesday the country’s ‘Ndrangheta mob was “the most important criminal organization in the Western world,” as preliminary hearings in the biggest ever trial against the group resumed.

The hearings at the bunker room of the Rebibbia prison, which are expected to last until the end of October, are preliminary procedures against 452 suspects from the Calabrian-based ’Ndrangheta.

The suspects face charges such as involvement with mafia-type organizations, international drug trafficking, usury, extortion and money laundering.

At an unrelated briefing with the foreign press Tuesday, Giuseppe Governale, Italy’s chief anti-mafia prosecutor, said the group was “underestimated” and particularly dangerous because of its ability to proliferate across nations and infiltrate them.

“They are like water,” he said. “Unlike Cosa Nostra and Camorra, which go abroad (just) to make quick money, ‘Ndrangheta does go there, yes, to make money, but also to exploit the local communities,” he said. The Cosa Nostra is the Sicilian-based mob whereas the Camorra’s stronghold is in the Naples area.

The hearings in Rome could lead to the opening of the second biggest mafia trial ever, after the famous ‘maxi trial’ against Cosa Nostra in 1986 in Palermo. The investigation was being headed by Calabria’s prominent anti-mafia prosecutor, Nicola Gratteri.

The Calabrian ’Ndrangheta has increasingly eclipsed Sicily’s Cosa Nostra in power and wealth, infiltrating all sectors of Italian economic and political life and extending far from its southern base.

'Ndrangheta: Pasquale Zagari arrested for attempted extortion.

Pasquale ZAGARI, already sentenced to life imprisonment for mafia association, murders, arms crimes, corpse concealment and more, was arrested by the carabinieri of Taurianova for attempted extortion against a local businessman.

One of the most violent protagonists of the feud that raged in Taurianova between the 80s and 90s, during which the death of his father, Rocco Zagari, killed in a barber shop, represented the triggering event of the "massacre of Black Friday" of Taurianova, in which four people were killed in revenge, one of whom with a severed head, in the city center, had recently returned to freedom, after in 2015 life imprisonment was reduced to 30 years .

Following some information acquisition that indicated the man as intent on imposing extortion on some local traders and entrepreneurs, the Carabinieri of Taurianova intervened. The man was blocked after yet another visit to a local entrepreneur, on whom he wanted to illegitimately impose his will, just relying on his criminal caliber and reputation, and then arrested in flagrant for attempted aggravated extortion.

Zagari, whose dangerousness is demonstrated by a violent escape attempt in 2009, when he had no qualms about firing a firearm at the escort police during a transport, is now restricted to the Palmi Prison.

The 'Ndrangheta is a deeply ritualistic organization compartmentalized into different stages of power. Raso held the rank of Vangelo : an intermediate stage of the structure, but superior to that of the mere Ndranghetists and those of La Santa - the organization that was later created to accommodate those who were engaged in higher-level business - receiving his name from the act of swearing the office by hand in a gospel. Those who have that rank can be part of the commission where major decisions are made for an organization that, without being pyramidal like Cosa Nostra, does agree on its international strategies.

Mafia trial in Düsseldorf interrupted
One of the largest Mafia lawsuits in Germany had to be interrupted. The mother of a defendant tested positive for the corona virus, so it will not continue in Düsseldorf until Friday at the earliest.

The defendant is currently not in prison and is said to have had contact with his mother. The man is in quarantine at home, his own test result is still pending.

Even if it should be negative, the Duisburg district court does not yet know whether the man will still have to remain isolated for the time being. It is therefore not yet certain whether the process can continue as planned on Friday.

Accusation: Members or supporters of the Calabrian mafia
14 alleged members or supporters of ' Ndrangheta are indicted before the Duisburg Regional Court . For security reasons, the trial has not taken place in Duisburg since Monday , but in the so-called " terror bunker ", a specially protected area of ​​the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court.

The defendants come from Duisburg, Mönchengladbach and Düsseldorf , among others . Some of them are accused of forming and supporting a foreign criminal organization and drug trafficking in a gang. Others have to answer for commercial money laundering and violations of gun law.

Trigger: drug discovery in the Netherlands
Dutch customs officers found 80 kilograms of pure cocaine in an overseas container - addressed to a recipient in North Rhine-Westphalia. This was followed by an international investigation and finally the simultaneous storming of special units on shops and restaurants in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

Four tons of cocaine were seized on the so-called " Joint Action Day " in 2018, and 84 people were arrested. The money laundering is said to have taken place via " fake companies " in Germany.

The Italian defendants have so far been silent on the allegations. A total of 91 days of negotiations are scheduled for the process in Düsseldorf.

His position is Vangelo they are a degree higher than the Santists and lower than the quatrains. To be an evangelist one must obtain the Gospel merit.
The evangelist also has the task of keeping the rules of the 'Ndrangheta, the Gospel, to be used in the rites of affiliation and promotion.
Who is an evangelist can be part of La Provincia, a Commission in which the most important decisions of the organization are taken.

The boss Nino Cerra, alias "the old man", died at the age of 72 in the Parma prison, where he was detained under the 41bis regime. Cerra, who died of natural causes, had been sentenced as part of the "Chimera" and "Dionysus" operations (13 years and 4 months in the first case, 14 years in the second). The boss, who had left Lamezia Terme in the '70s choosing Milan as the base for his crimes, was considered a leading figure in the Calabrian 'ndrine, linked to the powerful clans established in the Locride area. According to what emerged in the "Chimera" investigation, Cerra was at the top of the Cerra-Torcasio-Gualtieri clan that dominates Nicastro (Cz).

Italian Mafia 'ndrangheta bought weapons in Brazil
The mafia group 'ndrangheta, considered one of the largest of its kind in Italy, would have negotiated the purchase of arms in Brazil, showed an article published by the portal "UOL". Criminals would have connections with the First Capital Command (PCC) in the country, as well as other groups across South America.

The disclosure of arms trafficking, in addition to drugs, is among the more than 13,500 pages of the “Rinascita-Scott” (“Renascimento-Scott”) trial - which began in September in Rome after an investigation of the District Antimafia Department (DDA) of Catanzaro.

In December last year, Italian authorities arrested 334 people, including politicians, lawyers and civil servants, in the outbreak of the action. In all, 416 people are investigated in the case for numerous crimes, such as mafia association, homicide, extortion, trafficking and money laundering.

According to the Brazilian portal, the purchase would have been organized by Bruno Fuduli, who committed suicide in November last year, and by two heads of clans of the 'ndrangheta: Giuseppe Accorinti and Antonio Vacatello. In a telephone tap from one of the defendants in the case, Gregorio Niglia, those involved spoke of a plan to “transport some containers” in 2016 with an undefined number of weapons.

Fuduli volunteered as a spy for the Italian authorities after being contacted by mobsters to work with the international cocaine trafficking and, thinking he did not receive enough “recognition” from the government for his help in catching criminals, he became one of Italy's most famous drug dealers.

Among the countless accusations against the Italian, is that of “international trade in firearms and clandestine weapons” between the European country and South America. Just like the one mentioned in the “UOL” report, the weapons would leave Goiás for Italian ports.

According to “La C”, they were hidden in marble blocks and followed the method already used by 'ndrangheta in other operations dismantled by the Italians. Fuduli then followed the plan to import the stones, transport them on freight trains and did this by third-party companies that were unaware of the international trafficking scheme, as a way to circumvent customs bureaucracy.

An Iranian businessman shot dead near Rome last week, reportedly in a dispute over money, was an international arms dealer with ties to the Calabrian mafia, Russian arms traffickers and the Iranian regime, Italian police confirmed.

According to court papers published by Il Messaggero newspaper, Said Ansary Firouz, 68, ran a lucrative business selling and renting vintage cars to celebrities and football players.

He was also an arms dealer who procured military items for Tehran and had been under investigation for the last three years.

The son of an ambassador to Italy at the time of the shah in the 1970s, Firouz was shot three times last week in the chest at his office in Formello, on the outskirts of Rome not far from the AS Roma football club training facilities.

Police said the killer, Foloty Kave, 47, was a fellow Iranian and a former employee. Il Messaggero reported that Kave killed himself after shooting Firouz.

A few days before he was murdered, Firouz and nine other suspects had received notification of the conclusion of an investigation into them for alleged illegal arms dealing.

Il Messaggero reported that in 2016 Firouz met in London with Safarian Nasab Esmail, who is under investigation in Rome for international terrorism.

A source in the Carabinieri, Italy’s military police, told Arab News that Firouz “was often present at negotiations for the purchase of war weapons.”

The anti-terrorism section of the Carabinieri last year stopped a weapons sale that Firouz had tried to set up between representatives of the Iranian regime and two consortiums of Italian arms dealers, despite the UN arms embargo against Iran at the time.

The sale, which included drones, machine guns, Kalashnikov rifles and precision rifles, was worth more than €300 million ($354.7 million).

Operation targets property across Italy
\

Reggio Calabria Chief Prosecutor Giovanni Bombardieri said the "Clean Energy" probe and the "Martingale" operation had dealt a major blow to 'Ndrangheta assets.
Separately, Italian Criminapol chiefs and Interpol directors sent a 10-point questionnaire to 10 other countries to try to get a picture of 'Ndrangheta operations there.
The 10 countries are part of the 'I Can' (Interpol Cooperation Against 'Ndrangheta) project.

'Ndrangheta in Rosarno, 54 convictions: the investigation into the feud for the drug monopoly

Struck to the heart in 2018 by the maxi operation "Ares", signed by the Dda of Reggio and the Carabinieri, now the verdict has arrived, 54 sentences inflicted on the leaders and wingmen of the 'ndrine Grasso and Cacciola.
First allies to conquer Rosarno, which has always been in the hands of the historic Pesce and Bellocco families, then bitter rivals for the dispute over the drug market in the port city. The emerging gangs of Cacciola and Grasso ended up starting from 2013 to engage in an internal feud for the management of illicit business. The investigators ascertained the organizational capacity of the clans to import cocaine from South America and hashish from Spain and Morocco: tons of drugs that arrived in Italy (often not using the port of Gioia Tauro) and ended in the shopping squares in Lombardy, Piedmont and Sicily.

When Dutch journalist Sanne de Boer moves to an idyllic village in southern Italy, she first comes into contact with the mafia from Calabria, the 'Ndrangheta. Her interest is aroused and what follows is a years-long search for the mysterious' Ndrangheta, who has also gained a firm foothold in the Netherlands. In her recently published book Mafiopoli, De Boer paints a shocking picture of the Calabrian mafia.

The investigations describe the 40-year-old Giuseppe Pangallo as the most important element for the economic investments of the Barbaro-Papalia clan. Pangallo (who is not under investigation) is the husband of Rosanna Papalia, the daughter of the boss Rocco Papalia, released in 2017 after 26 years in prison, and brother of the capos Antonio and Domenico. Mura, intercepted by police, defines it as "the largest family of 'Ndranghetists historically in Lombardy".

Italian police seize tons of pure cocaine
Yesterday at 12:10 PM | Source: BELGA \

Italian police announced on Thursday that they had seized 932 kg of pure cocaine in the port of Gioia Tauro in Calabria. The drugs were hidden in a container of frozen mussels from Chile.
The cocaine has a street value of "about 186 million euros," police said in a statement. She was in a container of frozen mussels from Chile, packed in 800 packages, hidden in 37 bags, according to the same source.

The port of Gioia Tauro in Calabria, the land of the 'Ndrangheta, the Calabrian mafia, has been under special surveillance by Italian customs and law enforcement for years, as it is one of the main entry points for drugs on the peninsula.

The seizure was carried out after "a risk analysis" on more than 2,200 containers from the Americas and using special scanners, the statement said.

I think so because they talk about a powerful family, has to be the Alvaro's from Sinopoli with about 2000 affiliates.

Commercial activities, properties, cars and financial resources were seized, for a total value of approximately 1.7 million euros, attributable to Cosimo Damiano Tassone , born in 1969, a Calabrian drug trafficker operating in the capital at the head of an important international network of drug traffickers.

His figure had emerged in the investigations conducted as part of the 'Crazy Hill' operation, conducted by the II Group of the yellow flames and coordinated by the DDA, which, in 2015, had made it possible to defeat a powerful criminal association based in Rome and contacts operating in Germany, Holland, Spain and England, able to organize shipments by container or by air of large quantities of cocaine from South America (Colombia, Argentina and Brazil).
