Summary
Italian authorities arrested 25 people, including a nun, for alleged links to the ’Ndrangheta, Italy’s most powerful mafia. The nun, a volunteer at Milan’s San Vittore prison, allegedly acted as a communication link with imprisoned associates.
Among those arrested were politicians from the Brothers of Italy and League parties, accused of aiding the gang with crimes like vote-buying and money laundering.
Charges include extortion, drug trafficking, and tax crimes. Authorities seized €1.8 million in illicit earnings.
The ’Ndrangheta, based in Calabria, is a global crime group funded by cocaine revenues.
