Italian police, in coordination with German authorities, arrested 29 individuals suspected of being part of a large-scale food trafficking scam linked to the 'ndrangheta Mafia. The arrests, which include a police sergeant from Baden-Wurttemberg, were part of a broader investigation that uncovered a scheme where main suspects posed as managers of fictional German food companies, ordering high-quality products without intent to pay. The operation involved multiple raids across provinces in Germany and Italy, reflecting an ongoing effort to combat organized crime's infiltration into legitimate business sectors.
The collaborative action between German and Italian authorities led to the arrest of 29 individuals, exposing an extensive scam involving the 'ndrangheta and gourmet food trafficking.
