French and Italian authorities with support from Europol busted 46 individuals on Tuesday for their role in a large-scale ‘Ndrangheta-led drug trafficking and money laundering ring. 33 suspects were arrested in France and 13 in Italy. Photo above shows surveillance footage of suspects.
Over 550 police officers in France (in and around Paris and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur) and Italy (Liguria) participated in the takedown on Tuesday. During the house searches, law enforcement officers seized weapons, a large amount of cash, counterfeited documents, drugs, vehicles and various assets from money laundering operations.
