The drug business. Managed by the “confederate” gangs of the ‘Ndrangheta in the central area of Cosentino. Millionaire business reconstructed by the Catanzaro DDA with the “Recovery” investigation. In judgment renowned bosses, alleged traffickers and medium-level drug dealers active between the urban area of Cosenza and Rende, the Media Valle del Crati, Cetraro and the Valle dell’Esaro.
The anti-mafia prosecutor Corrado Cubellotti closed his indictment asking for heavy sentences against Gianfranco Sganga (20 years), Francesco Patitucci (20 years), Antonio Illuminato (20 years), Roberto Porcaro (20 years), Filippo Meduri (20 years), Carlo Bruno (20 years), Michele Di Puppo (16 years), Mario Piromallo (16 years), Marco D’Alessandro (16 years and 6 months), Marco Lucanto (18 years old), believed to be at the center of drug trafficking.
Porcaro, Patitucci, Di Puppo, Piromallo and Illuminato already appeared in the “Reset” maxinvestigation which reconstructed the structures and interests of the Cosenza clans protagonists of a sort of “mafia consociativism” based on a common fund and specific and well-identified territorial sectors of influence. “Recovery” appears as the natural continuation of that elephantine investigation dedicated, however, to drug trafficking.
