During the night, the carabinieri of the ROS of Vibo Valentia and of the Heliborne Squadron Cacciatori di Calabria arrested the fugitive Gregorio Giofrè, 57 years old.
The man was wanted since December 19, 2019, following the precautionary order issued by the investigating judge of Catanzaro, as part of the Rinascita-Scott operation, that led to the custodial measure against 334 people, responsible, for various reasons, for mafia association, murder, drug trafficking, extortion, money laundering and other serious crimes.
Giofrè would be a top representative of the club San Gregorio d'Ippona (VV), related to Rosario Fiarè, historical local chief, currently under house arrest.
After the capture of Saverio Razionale and Gregorio Gasparro he had remained the most important exponent of the mafia structure in freedom. The club of San Gregorio d'Ippona, since the 1980s, has been faithful to the Mancusos of Limbadi and its most influential members have been central to allow the Mancusis themselves to manage the Vibonese 'Ndrangheta together.
