Mafia, maxi raid between Palermo and Milan with 91 arrests: business in the North for the Acquasanta and Arenella clans

Maxi operation tonight against the mafia. A blitz between Palermo and Milan led to 91 orders of pre-trial detention in prison, a blow to the Acquasanta and Arenella clans who did business with extortion, with races in racecourses, with drugs, with luxury watches and also with the marketing of coffee pods and capsules. The bosses had also infiltrated a cooperative that works at the Palermo shipyards.

In the sights of the finance guard there are 91 bosses, wingmen, extortors and figureheads of two historic Palermo clans. The maxiblitz was coordinated by the DDA of Palermo led by Francesco Lo Voi.

Exponents of historic Palermo mafia families such as the Fontana and Ferrante families ended up in handcuffs. The disputed charges are in various capacities of mafia association, extortion, fictitious registration of assets, receiving stolen goods, money laundering, drug trafficking, sports fraud and scam.
