An operation involving police in Italy, the United States and Spain has resulted in the arrests of 33 people and arrest warrants for six more as they attempted to crack a drug ring that allegedly brought four tons of cocaine into Europe in the past two years.
The drugs would have been worth about a billion euros, according to prosecutors.
The trafficking network reportedly involved cooperation between buyers linked to the notorious Italian Mafia clan the Ndrangheta and their suppliers in South America.
Chief prosecutor of the Italian region of Calabria, Federico De Raho, told a press conference yesterday that this represented one of their biggest ever operations.
