PALERMO - Mafia association , participation and competition in criminal association aimed at trafficking and drug dealing exacerbated by the mafia method, illegal possession of weapons , kidnapping for aggravated extortion and damage by fire. These are the charges made by the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Palermo against 32 suspects who were arrested in Agrigento and in the provinces of Palermo, Trapani, Catania, Ragusa, Vibo Valentia and Parma. The men of the Dia carried out the measures , while the Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Agrigento carried out two other precautionary custody orders against the same number of suspects for the crime of competition in kidnapping and sexual violence aggravated by the mafia method.

The blitz, called ' Kerkent ', allowed to disarticulate a criminal association with an operational base in Agrigento and ramifications in the Palermitano and Calabria: the main activity of the gang was the drug trafficking "through - the investigators point out - a group armed criminal ".

The boss who revolved around the drug was Antonio Massimino , released in 2015 and returned to the spotlight. Among the arrested there is also Andrea Puntorno , the well-known head ultras of Juventus (he led the 'good guys') who had left Turin for some years to return to his birth city, Agrigento. Already in the past he was arrested for drugs, which would always remain his main activity. In the latter period he managed it in league with the capomafia of Agrigento Antonino.
