The fugitive years of the boss Giuseppe "Peppe" Pelle are over. The 58-year-old son of 'Ntoni Pelle 'Gambazza', historical patriarch who has written in his own hand the history of the Calabrian 'ndrangheta, has been identified in an isolated house, near Condufuri, a few kilometers from "his" San Luca. The boss was hiding in one of the most inaccessible districts of the entire province, where the first slopes of the Aspromonte begin to climb towards the peaks, the roads become mountain mule tracks, hardly passable, and the rivers are transformed into natural trenches. Almost a natural bunker, besieged this night by fifty men of the Reggio Calabria Squad, who with a very quick blitz entered the house, while other agents were besieging the entire area to avert any attempts to escape. Surprised inside the house with other men, the boss gave up without any resistance. On him hung a warrant for a mafia association last summer, plus a residual sentence of two years and five months to be served on a previous conviction for the Mafia.
