Giuseppe De Stefano , boss of the homonymous clan of Reggio Calabria, was traveling aboard an ambulance when he had to return to Reggio during the period in which he spent his inaction on the Vibonese coast. The vehicle was made available by the same gangs of Vibo together with two armed men and with the "escort" of a car with two other armed men. This was told by the collaborator of justice Andrea Mantella , 49 - former armed wing of the Lo Bianco-Barba clan of Vibo and then at the head of an autonomous group - during his deposition in the Rinascita Scott maxi trial, underway in Lamezia Terme. De Stefano would have been a guest of the Bonavota clan of Sant'Onofrio in the resort of the Stillitani entrepreneurs.
