Europol has supported Italian law enforcement in dealing a heavy blow to the ‘Ndrangheta criminal organisation. In an action day conducted on 8 July 2025 across Italy, Spain and Albania, special intervention teams have arrested 28 suspected criminals of Italian and Albanian nationality. Among the individuals taken into custody is an Italian national from the Calabria region suspected of setting up the criminal structure for cocaine trade in the San Basilio area of Rome.
This individual, together with his three sons, is suspected of closely collaborating with an Albanian criminal group, which handled some of the logistical aspects of the drug trafficking trade. The Albanian members of this network allegedly organised the extraction of shipments from various Spanish and Dutch ports as well as the subsequent transport to Italy. In addition, they were responsible for the drug sale in other parts of Rome.
Investigations show that the cocaine sold in Italy was acquired in South America and transported in containers to ports across Europe. The transport from the Gioia Tauro harbour in Calabria to Rome was allegedly facilitated by Calabrian criminal brokers.
