The “Carpino” gang of Petronà
In detail, the investigation made it possible to document the existence of the 'Ndrangheta gang "Carpino" of Petronà, involved in a bloody feud in the 2000s, operating in the Catanzaro presila and with ramifications in Liguria and Lombardy, as well as the allied group criminal of Cerva, known as dei Cervesi, with extensions in Piedmont and Lombardy, both now falling under the influence of the local of Mesoraca (KR), mainly dedicated to extortion against building contractors and traders of the Catanzaro presila carried out through fires and damage , to armed robberies, to the laundering and fictitious registration of goods, to the trafficking of cocaine and marijuana with different supply channels, attributable in any case to subjects operating in the territories of Cutro or Mesoraca.

The 2017 municipal elections
The investigative activity has brought to light the political-mafia electoral exchange and the influence of the Cerva criminal group on the local municipal administration on the occasion of the 2017 elections, through the procurement of votes for some of the suspects - at the time candidates and elected in that round, then reconfirmed in the 2022 consultations - in exchange for the promise of money and a percentage on public procurement.

The possibility of the Petronà gang having access to public administration at its disposal also emerged. In this case, an employee of the Revenue Agency had made his function available to an affiliate, expressing his willingness to receive forgeries regarding the latter's property, to avoid the latter incurring sanctions or having to pay the IMU and obtaining, in exchange, the promise of favors of various kinds.
