CALABRIAN MAFIA BOSS ARRESTED
Giuseppe Piromalli was the capo di tutti i capi of the N'drangheta
Under cover of darkness, two cordons of Carabinieri surrounded the two-story house in Gioia Tauro, surrounded by dilapidated buildings, where they knew that for some time the boss had been hiding out.
The security forces forced their way in through armored doors and windows during the night of Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th February. When Piromalli tried to escape, a helicopter flying overhead flooded the area with light, and he knew it was all over.
After six years on the run, ha can expect a life sentence for two murders, as well as others for belonging to the Mafia, extorsion, and damages./P>
Giuseppe Piromalli is Public Enemy #1 in a powerful and well-organized Mafia clan. "This is why the police in a clean-up operation in Gioia Tauro has put out so many men and resources to catch him," says Alberto Cisterna, the anti-Mafia DA. Piromalli is the latest to end up in the net thrown over the Gioia Tauro area.
