The DDA of Catanzaro concluded the investigation called “Artemis”, which hypothesizes the existence of an articulated activity of drug trafficking attributable to the alleged crash gang, operational on the territories of Cortale, Maida, Jacurso and Maierato. For the investigators, the contested turnover would have been supported by a mafia -type criminal association with branches in drug dealing activities (in particular cocaine), extortion and illegal competition, as well as connected crimes such as corruption, personal aiding and abetting testimony, malicious fire, receiving stolen goods and false ideological.
According to the accusatory hypothesis, the gang would have been led by Domenico Cracolici, indicated as the promoter and undisputed head of the association. The investigation would have reconstructed different roles and responsibilities within the organization, from drug trafficking to control of local extortion and economic interests.
Among the suspects, the exponents of the institutions also appear: the DDA disputes to a lawyer (Vincenzo Fulvio Attisani, cl. 1960 residing in Girifalco and candidate with the UDC in the next regional elections in Calabria) the crime of false testimony aggravated by the facility to the mafia and two carabinieri conducted contrary to office duties and possible acts of aiding and abetting towards the association. In particular, it is contested that the lawyer – according to the accusation – would have instructed some texts on the version to be made in the courtroom; While the lieutenant of the carabinieri is believed to have exploited the institutional role to be interested in work positions and hires in favor of people considered close to the gang.
There are a total of 81 suspects involved in the investigation. The accusations, as always at this stage, are hypothesis of crime formulated by the Prosecutor: criminal liability will be ascertained or not during the judgment.
