Poliția italiană a anunțat vineri că l-a arestat pe Domenico Bellocco, unul dintre liderii unei familii proeminente din temuta grupare mafiotă 'Ndrangheta, relatează DPA, preluat de Agerpres. Guardia di Finanza a precizat că Bellocco se ascundea într-o fermă din Mongiana, la circa 50 de kilometri sud-vest de Catanzaro, în regiunea Calabria din sudul țării. Bellocco, un membru proeminent al familiei criminale cu același nume, era căutat pentru asociere mafiotă și trafic de droguri. 'Ndrangheta provine din regiunea sudică sărăcită Calabria și a depășit Cosa Nostra din Sicilia ca principala grupare mafiotă din lume. Această organizație criminală s-a extins mult în afara Calabriei și a intrat puternic în Europa, America de Nord și Australia și este considerată principala grupare care introduce ilegal cocaină în Europa.
