Italian police thwart massive fraud scheme by Ndrangheta mafiaFifty people were put under criminal investigation, with 13 arrests and 35 house arrests for the Ndrangheta mafia scam in Italy's poorest region, Calabria.
Italian police have disrupted a vast financial fraud scheme operated by the Ndrangheta mafia and involving local politicians and white-collar suspects, prosecutors said.
Operation "Low Profile," a name originating from the directives given to insiders within the mafia itself, also identified local politicians, accountants, a postal worker and even a retired police lieutenant, prosecutors from Catanzaro court said in a statement.
Allegations include tax fraud, criminal association, influence peddling and revealing official secrets, among others.
The Ndrangheta, considered Italy's richest and most powerful crime syndicate due to their control of most of the cocaine entering Europe, is currently the target of a massive trial in Calabria involving over 300 defendants.
The group is firmly entrenched in nearly all areas of public life in Calabria, where it has proven itself adept at infiltrating local politics and agencies and successfully rigging lucrative public tenders
