BOLOGNA Bologna GUP Andrea Salvatore Romito has substantially accepted – while excluding, for the defendants who were charged with the aggravating circumstance of mafia – the requests of the prosecutor of the Bologna DDA Roberto Ceroni in the first-degree trial with abbreviated procedure resulting from the operation “Aspromonte emiliano” , which in May 2023 had allowed the dismantling of an organization dedicated to the trafficking of cocaine, hashish and marijuana. Ceroni had in fact requested sentences of over 350 years in prison for the 35 defendants , and today GUP Andrea Salvatore Romito has imposed sentences of 338 years and 10 months , among which stands out the 20-year sentence for Giuseppe Romeo “Maluferru”, of the 'ndrina of San Luca also known as “Staccu”, a former super fugitive arrested in Spain in 2021 and believed to be the head of the organization. The defendants were charged, to varying degrees, with the crimes of drug trafficking, money laundering, fictitious registration of assets, kidnapping for the purpose of extortion and weapons , and according to the prosecution, the undisputed leader of the criminal organization was none other than Romeo. This organization included Italians belonging to or close to the 'ndrangheta of Reggio Calabria and Crotone and active in Emilia-Romagna, who had direct contact with the Colombian drug cartels, and also Chinese criminals. Some of the defendants were also given fines totaling 66,000 euros, and all but two were given three years of probation once they had served their sentences. Furthermore, 10 defendants were acquitted of some of the charges they were charged with because they did not commit the crime. Finally, the sentence - the reasons for which will be filed within 90 days - orders the confiscation of the seized assets.
