CATANZARO A referral to trial has been requested for the 27 suspects in the “Scolacium” investigation that began last February against the Catanzaro 'ndrangheta and for whom the DDA had closed the investigations last November 8.
The investigation would have shed light on a criminal association active in the Catanzaro area between the municipalities of Girifalco, Borgia and Vallefiorita. 22 people were arrested in the blitz that began on the morning of February 22, including members of the Bruno and Catarisano clans. According to investigators, the two mafia groups would have maintained control of the territory through weapons and extortion, infiltrating with threats and damage in the forestry sector, in that of the wind turbines and of the bathing facilities.

The crimes contested
Among the crimes that the DDA is accusing the suspects of are damage, extortion, weapons and mafia association. The latter is charged to Bruno and Pietro Abbruzio, Massimo Citraro, Antonio Paradiso, Sandro Ielapi, Vincenzo Tolone and Giuseppe Cristofaro , accused of having «directed, organised and participated» in the Catarisano gang, with its epicentre in Roccelletta di Borgia. In particular, at the top of the clan are Pietro Abbruzio and Massimo Citraro with tasks of «organising and directing» the 'ndrangheta group. Both are accused, together with Antonio Paradiso, of extortion against a commercial activity in Borgia and of damaging an excavator owned by a concrete company. Francesco Bruno, Gennaro Felicetta, Adrian Domtanov, Dimitrov, Danilo Vitellio and Raffaele Pace are also accused of mafia association , guilty according to the investigators of «having participated in collusion with each other» in the Bruno gang. According to the prosecution, the head of the 'ndrina is Francesco Bruno, while Gennaro Felicetta is said to have been the regent of the gang after the arrest of the former in the Jonny operation. Investigations have also been closed on the entrepreneur Luciano Babbino , accused of extortion and damage committed within a mafia association. (Gi.Cu.)
