The German and Italian police arrest dozens of people after an action against the organized crime of Calabria "Ndrangheta".

A wide-ranging police operation targeting the Calabrian mafia, the 'Ndrangheta, began on Wednesday morning in several European countries, including Germany, where searches and arrests have been made, according to local judicial authorities.

More than 1,000 officers searched dozens of homes, offices and shops in the states of Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate, prosecutors said in a joint statement.

More than 30 suspects have been arrested.

"Among other things, the suspects are accused of money laundering, gang tax evasion, fraud with commercial gangs and narcotics smuggling," said a statement from the state office of criminal investigations in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Hundreds of German police officers were involved in five regions of the country in a "large-scale European operation" targeting "Ndrangheta leaders and members," several regional prosecutors' offices, including that of Munich, said in a statement.

Police operations also took place in Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain, the statement said.

In recent years, the authorities in Europe have launched a campaign against the organized crime group, which is undoubtedly the richest in the world./ CNA.al
