CATANZARO To those who follow the Italian political-judicial news, the sentence will sound familiar in a sinister way. A sort of "we have a bank" in the 'Ndrangheta sauce. Mark Ulrich Goke , a German hacker allegedly employed by the Papaniciari gang , unwittingly recalls Fassino 's notorious wiretap on Unipol . He talks to Salvatore Aracri , considered one of the pillars of the gang in Germany: « Let's open a nice bank all to ourselves – he says -. This is more important than all other things and together with the HSBC bank leader we can trade whenever we want. That would be a good thing."
It would certainly be good for the affairs of the clan and to have a base from which to direct the various clandestine finance schemes that emerged in the "Glicine/Acheronte" investigation by the Catanzaro DDA. The interview is captured at the dawn of this line of investigation. And it is connected - according to the assessments of the investigating judge Antonio Battaglia - to "a series of international transactions that the group coordinated by Salvatore Aracri carried out (or attempted to carry out) in the period between May 2019 and January 2020 ". For the magistrates, these movements on the financial markets "further outline the figures of Salvatore Aracri and Mark Goke, as well as various traders with whom the two come into contact".

The 120 million “download” and transfer to Europe
The financial wing of the gang, according to the summary of the investigating judge, thinks big . "Between August and October 2019, the suspects attempted to carry out an illegal financial transaction , repossessing a flow of money from the divestment of a clandestine trading platform ". A mountain of money, 120 million euros which had to be transferred from South East Asia to Europe.
