"An important operation was carried out today by the Carabinieri of Reggio Calabria, coordinated by the District Anti-Mafia Directorate: 97 individuals, including prominent members of the ‘Ndrangheta, were subjected to precautionary measures throughout Italy. A significant result that confirms the daily and determined commitment of the institutions in the fight against organized crime.

Thanks to the Judiciary, to our Carabinieri, and to the women and men in uniform who serve the State with courage and professionalism, in defense of legality and the safety of citizens. The fight against the mafias continues. This operation sends a clear message: no territory will ever be abandoned to criminality. The State does not retreat."
