Reggio Calabria, the boss of 'Ndrangheta Giovanni Tegano has died
The mammasantissima was for decades at the head of the homonymous clan. He was arrested in 2010 and called a "man of peace".

Giovanni Tegano, 81, was for many years at the top of the homonymous gang operating in the Archi district of Reggio Calabria , a true stronghold of the most powerful mafia families in the city of the Strait.

Among the main protagonists of the second war of 'Ndrangheta, Giovanni Tegano managed to remain a fugitive from 1993 until 2010, despite a life sentence. A period of long silence, during which, however, the boss remained firmly in command of the clan, continuing to issue orders and directions and manage business.

Recently, in 2019, the prosecutor Giuseppe Lombardo had entered him in the register of suspects for the murder of judge Scopelliti.
