A supercosca made up of nomadic criminals - the so-called mafia clan of the "gypsies" - and Ndranghetists attributable to the traditional partnerships of the Calabrian mafia active in Sibaritide , would be responsible for the bloody events and the repeated intimidations and incendiary attacks carried out in the last two years against agricultural entrepreneurs, tourist structures, construction and construction companies, commercial and catering companies.

The criminal group would also be behind the ambush with AK-47s of Francesco Elia on Wednesday. He was a reputed member of the 'Ndrangheta clan Forastefano. His father the boss Alfredo Elia was also murdered decades ago.
