Mafia, blitz against Borgata clan in Syracuse: 6 arrests

(LaPresse) The Syracuse Police have arrested four people accused of mafia association and illegal possession of weapons. During the operation, searches were also carried out which allowed the arrest of two other individuals - believed to be close to the organization - for illegal possession of weapons and drugs. The measures constitute the outcome of an investigation coordinated by the DDA of Catania and conducted by the investigative section of the Central Operational Service of Catania and the Flying Squad of Syracuse. The investigations have shed light on the reorganization of the so-called Borgata mafia group, active in the city of Syracuse and considered a satellite clan of the mafia association called Bottaro-Attanasio. The investigations have documented the criminal escalation, implemented through the indiscriminate use of weapons.
