The number of local authorities currently commissioned for mafia infiltration in Calabria rises to 23, after the Council of Ministers, last night, decided to put an end to the administrative experiences of the Municipalities of Cutro (Crotone) and Sant'Eufemia d'Aspromonte ( Reggio Calabria) .

These bodies include two provincial health authorities affected by similar measures: the general management bodies of the Reggio Calabria and Catanzaro ASP have in fact been dissolved. In Calabria, mafia infiltrations represent half of the cases that have led to an early termination of the council legislature, confirming the strong mafia pervasiveness.

The latest half-yearly report of the Anti-Mafia Investigative Directorate dedicated an analysis to the commissioners for mafia infiltration approved in 2019 and in the first months of 2020 and the reasons behind the strong interest of criminal organizations in local authorities.
