Italian police have arrested 40 people in a new crackdown targeting the ‘Ndrangheta mafia, with suspects accused of drug trafficking with counterparts in Latin America using shadow networks of Chinese money brokers.
“Today’s raid is a crucial operation that showed how the ‘Ndrangheta is an octopus that reaches everywhere with interconnections all over the world,” Guardia di Finanza police captain Angelo Santori said on Tuesday.
