Imperiale was close to Taghi, Kinahan and the most important european drug dealers
In particular with Rico the Chilean Imperiale faces only a 8 year sentence Rico will be out a few years later, they probably have tons of money stashed away/invested. He was the pointman for Raffaele Amato aka The Spaniard, leader of the Scissionisti.
Imperiale is believed to be one of the leaders of a 'super-cartel' which controls a major portion of Europe's lucrative cocaine trade.
Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) documents sent to Dutch police identified Imperiale, Dutch mobster Ridouan Taghi, Bosnian criminal Edin GaÄanin, Richard 'El Rico' Vega and Daniel Kinahan as the heads of a so-called ‘super drug cartel.’
