37 arrests (20 Italians and 17 foreigners, 27 in prison and 10 under house arrest) are the result of a maxi operation against drug trafficking conducted by the Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Milan between the provinces of Milan, Alessandria, Bergamo, Genoa, Monza, Padua, Pavia, Rome, Varese, Vibo Valentia and Vicenza: the arrested are held responsible - for various reasons - for an association aimed at the production, trafficking and dealing of drugs , with the aggravating circumstances of transnationality and the availability of weapons.

One of the groups, according to the reconstruction, is made up of Italians - among them some exponents of Calabrian origin - two of whom were found to maintain strong relations with the leaders and emissaries of the 'Ndrangheta of Reggio. The other groups, on the other hand, refer to nuclei of Eritrean and South American origin, as well as to some cells, of various nationalities, independent of each other, which have however shown a marked transnational operation .
