Today's investigations have made it possible to document the existence of close criminal relations between the PESCE clan and a Sicilian entrepreneurial group active in the management of supermarkets and with expansionist aims also in Calabria where, to obtain economic advantages, it did not hesitate to enter into collusive agreements with the 'Ndrangheta, thus taking advantage of the mafia power exercised by the clans in the area. That agreement provided that PESCE would monopolistically manage the storage and the entire road transport sector of goods intended to supply the group's retail outlets.
