Police arrested a high-ranking politician and 19 other suspects in an action against the ‘Ndrangheta mafia group in the southern Italian region of Calabria. According to consistent media reports, the politician is the President of the Parliament of Calabria, Domenico Tallini.
The police accuse him of having accelerated administrative procedures to obtain permits for the criminal Grande Aracri family. According to the police, the clan needed this to open a network of pharmacies, especially in Calabria. The Mafia is said to have laundered money through this. In return, the criminals are said to have supported the president in the regional election in November 2014.
Calabria is one of the poorest regions in Italy
The region at the “toe of the boot” of Italy is one of the poorer areas of the country and is known for the influence of the Mafia there. In the corona crisis, the government declared the region a red zone with strict restrictions on people.
A farce about the state-appointed health commissioner of the region recently caused a stir. Within ten days of being fired and resigned, three politicians gave each other the handle for this post.
