Scalea (Cosenza), pre-trial detention in prison for 4 individuals for multiple violations of the law

In the early hours of the morning of November 22, 2024, in Scalea (Cosenza), Cetraro (Cosenza) and Ancona, the Carabinieri of the Scalea Company, supported by personnel from the Carabinieri Companies competent for the territory, with the coordination of the Public Prosecutor's Office - District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Catanzaro, they executed a precautionary custody order in prison, issued by the GIP at the Court of Catanzaro, against 4 suspects, on the basis of the presumed existence of serious evidence in relation to the crimes, variously hypothesized, of association aimed at drug trafficking, dealing and possession of narcotics, illegal possession of common firearms and personal injury, with reference to this type of crime, aggravated by the mafia method.

Scalea, custodia cautelare in carcere nei confronti di 4 soggetti per più violazioni di legge

The precautionary measure issued by the GIP, at the request of the Public Prosecutor's Office District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Catanzaro, arises from the investigations, coordinated by the District Anti-Mafia Directorate, and conducted by the Carabinieri of the Operational and Radiomobile Nucleus of the Scalea Company, developed through technical and traditional activities.
The investigative developments have allowed us to ascertain, in terms of the seriousness of the evidence (in the preliminary investigation phase which requires subsequent procedural verification in the cross-examination with the defence), the operation in Scalea of ​​a criminal association dedicated to the dealing of various types of drugs, mainly cocaine, which was supplied with the narcotic from two supply channels, one from Naples, the other from Cetraro, the methods of action with regard to the supply, to evade possible checks by the police, the joint management of the proceeds, the availability of logistical bases for the storage of the drug, and the methods of communication.

Contestualmente alla esecuzione della misura cautelare, è stata data esecuzione a plurimi decreti di perquisizioni.

The investigative findings also allowed us to reconstruct, in terms of the seriousness of the evidence, the dynamics of a retaliatory action, including through the firing of a gunshot, by members of the gang against a person who had assumed a behavior evidently considered offensive towards some of the suspects, and for this case, again in terms of the seriousness of the evidence, the existence of the aggravating circumstance of the mafia method was also considered.

At the same time as the execution of the precautionary measure, several search warrants were executed.
