Platì and Locride, absolute domain of drug trafficking on a world scale. All names of arrested and investigated

Unlimited criminal power. The ‘Ndrangheta Reggina maintains world leadership in drug affairs, without showing any sign of failure, despite the continuous kidnappings and arrests of the “State Team” of Reggio Calabria. The “Pratì” operation – the dawn blitz yesterday against the mafia families of the Locride, Di Platì, Siderno and Gerace It resulted in 21 precautionary measures (14 in prison and 7 under house arrest) issued by the investigating judge of Reggio Calabria, at the request of the anti -mafia prosecutor, and carried out by the State Police (four unavailable): all seriously suspended, in various capacities, of a criminal association aimed at drug trafficking with the aggravating circumstance of the huge quantity, detention for the purpose of drug dealing, Indian hemp plantations, marketing of the marijuana made and illegal possession of common scrub weapons. An operation that provided anti-mafia analysts with yet another confirmation on the center of gravity of the Rusto gangs in international drug trafficking and in the business-criminal synergy with the South American narcos and the Colombian emissaries of the “gulf clan”.
The scenario that stands out of the “Pratì” investigation is a disturbing truth: everything is allowed to the Platì regini, whose criminal blazon is an absolute guarantee with any broker, intermediary, bosses and cocaine supplier of the entire Latin America.

Yesterday’s raid also revealed another brilliant alternative to drug shipments. On one occasion, having deciphered a word of too much too much to escape from the intercepted suspects, a package of the DHL _ “completely extraneous to the facts” was intercepted at the Ciampino airport center in Rome – inside which there was a kilogram of pure cocaine contained in coffee beans. A package that had gone around the world: Panama, Ecuador, Spain and Locride destination for a phantom customer reggino. The policemen of the mobile team blocked him in time. Do not deceive the reduced volume of the cocaine match, as the regent prosecutor of Reggio Calabria Giuseppe Lombardo remarks: “He places a further alarm bell on the operational capacity of the ‘Ndrangheta”.

The investigation has a all -relief background. The attempt to import from South America of a large quantity of cocaine financed by Mammola’s clans, in the Locride Aspromontana, managed by suspects of the “Malea” operation. An in -depth theme at the press conference by the Quaestor Salvatore La Rosafrom the head of the Reggio mobile team, Gianfranco Minissale, and his deputy Paolo Valenti. The development of those investigations made it possible to identify three perfectly structured operating groups: the first group was engaged in cocaine trafficking from South America to Italy through the mediation of brokers and intermediaries; A second group very skilled to establish privileged relationships with the Colombians, including some exponents of the powerful Colombian organization “Golfo clan”; The third group, specialized in the cultivation of Indian hemp, storage, packaging and marketing. Some attempts to send cocaine for 300 kg to Calabria. who would have yielded business of over 30 million euros. Drugs never arrived, despite the payment of rich advances.
