"Camorra", the "heads" of the most powerful mafia organization in Italy are arrested

With the help of Europol, Colombian and Italian authorities arrested two major cocaine traffickers linked to the Camorra, one of Italy's most powerful mafia organizations.

These arrests were made as part of a coordinated effort involving Italian authorities, Colombian prosecutors and Europol.

The first wanted man was arrested in Medellin, Colombia on October 8. Eluding arrest for years, he was wanted on an Italian warrant for his role in running international drug-trafficking operations spanning South America and Europe.

The second wanted man was arrested on October 24, also in Medellin. On the run since December 2020, he was on the Italian Ministry of the Interior's list of dangerous fugitives, sentenced to 18 years in prison pending drug trafficking.

The suspects were involved in an extensive drug trafficking organization from South America to Europe, with the main target of their activity being the port of Antwerp in Belgium, where their organization had a strong presence.

The criminal network specialized in smuggling large quantities of cocaine by hiding the drug in sea cargo, often with the help of front companies, especially in the fruit sector.

After the arrest, the two wanted men are expected to be extradited to Italy, where they will be prosecuted for their role in the large criminal organization of drug trafficking.
