According to the reconstruction of the investigators, the group called Bevilacqua-Passalacqua would have initially developed «in the form of an element of operational support towards the historical 'Ndrangheta of Isola Capo Rizzuto, Cutro and Catanzaro (clan Arena, Grande Aracri and Gaglianesi). However, over the years the gypsy clan has increasingly acquired its autonomy with respect to the gangs to the point of becoming a mafia group with its own criminal program that fits into the 'Ndrangheta structure in competition with the other mafia associations» writes the gip in the precautionary custody order.
