Pietro Curcio, the 40-year-old from Cotronei who was sentenced to 6 years and 8 months in prison for mafia association as part of the abbreviated rite procedure born from the “glycine -cheronte” investigation, passed from prison.
So the judge for the preliminary hearings of Catanzaro, Sara Merlini, decided today. That, accepting the request of the defenders of Curcio, the lawyers Vincenzo Cicino and Vincenzo Garruba, ordered a more attenuated precautionary measure against the 40 -year -old. The “Glycine-Acheronte” operation, taken on June 27, 2023 with 43 precautionary measures performed by the carabinieri, on the one hand dismantled the alleged business committee, made up of politicians, entrepreneurs and men in Odor of ‘Ndrangheta, who would have used public institutions for electoral purposes.
And on the other he would defeat the Papanice gang of Papanice who had reorganized after the release, in 2014, of the boss Mico Megna. And in this hypothesized criminal scenario, Curcio’s position includes. Which, at the end of the first instance judgment which led to 9 convictions and 15 acquittals, was responsible for being part of the Papaniciari clan. How? Participating – according to the investigators – in the various illegal activities that the gang would have implemented not only in Crotone but also in Northern Italy with shots of investments and various scams.
