Two members of the Barbaro clan were arrested in Palermo ,Giuseppe Barbaro, 43 years old and Pasquale Barbaro, 33, both from Platì also arrested Rocco Pizzinga, 49 years old from Casignana.

All three appear to be under investigation for association aimed at drug trafficking.

They would be the representatives of the Calabrian family, involved in the management of drug trafficking in the province of Reggio Calabria and linked by kinship ties with leading exponents of the 'ndrina di San Luca, which allegedly guaranteed the systematic supply of large quantities of drugs to the criminal group, with an operational base in the Sicilian capital, which would have been directed by two brothers from Palermo, sons of a historic exponent of the Villagrazia/Santa Maria di Gesù mafia district.
