Among the seizures, the company shares of some restaurants belonging to the famous chain of "tour-pizza" Tourlé, attributable to Giuseppe Carvelli, multi-judged for drug trafficking "close" to the Calabrian gangs.
Calvelli has behind him a 22-year heap of penalties for international drug trafficking, known connections with the 'Ndrangheta of the Mancuso of Limbadi (Vibo Valentia) and of the Pesce of Rosarno (Reggio Calabria) but investments of millions of euros in a chain of restaurants extended throughout northern Italy. He was arrested in 2008 with 6 kilos of cocaine. Thanks to the award permits and probation in social services, in 2017 he left the prison and asked for an account of the investment, resuming the management of what later became a chain of premises.
