Maxi blitz at dawn today, Thursday 17 February, in Rome and in the province. 65 people arrested. The carabinieri of the provincial command of Rome carried out the order, at the request of the district anti-mafia management. Among the 65 people, some of them are seriously suspected of being part of a Mafia-style criminal association.
According to what emerged from the investigations, they would have formed a local group of 'Ndrangheta with a stable base between Anzio and Nettuno, and it is assumed that they had assumed control of the territory on the coast south of Rome, infiltrating public administrations and managing international drug trafficking operations. Searches and kidnappings are still in progress.
From Reggio Calabria to the Roman coast, they had worked for years to infiltrate the social, economic and political fabric of the territories of Anzio and Nettuno. At the head of the criminal organization there would be Giacomo Madaffari, but also important supports from exponents of historical families of 'Ndrangheta originating from Guardavalle, namely the Gallace, the Pertinace and the Tedesco.
The investigations show the existence of two associations aimed at drug trafficking, one headed by Giacomo Madaffari and the other by Bruno Gallace, both with high financial and logistical resources, as well as the ability to import large quantities of cocaine from South America.
The 'Ndrangheta clan had strengthened its power over time by exploiting the ability to import large quantities of cocaine from South America, to then infiltrate local administrations through the management and control of economic activities in various sectors, from fish to management. and waste disposal.
