Giuseppe Emilio Bevilacqua returns to Italy today, accused of being the man of the drug trafficking of the mafia in Germany . The man will land in the early afternoon in Fiumicino escorted by the International Police Cooperation Service (Scip) of the Central Directorate of the Criminal Police, directed by the prefect Vittorio Rizzi.

Bevilacqua, recipient of a European arrest warrant for execution of an order for pre-trial detention in prison, issued by the investigating magistrate at the Court of Caltanissetta, is accused of the crime of mafia-type association aimed at drug trafficking.

The investigations of the Carabinieri Ros led to the maxi-operation "Ultra" last July, which led to the arrest of 46 people and allowed to reconstruct the structures of the criminal organization linked to Cosa Nostra and, in particular, of the Sicilian mafia family of Barrafranca in the province of Enna, and of which Bevilacqua represented "an operative glue for the interests of the mafia family". Bevilacqua was tracked down and arrested in Wolfsburg on the night between 30 June and 1 July, at the same time as the arrests made in Italy with a blitz, coordinated by Europol and which Scip supported in every
phase.

Upon arrival in Fiumicino, after the ritual notifications at the offices of the Air Border Police, the man will be taken over by prison staff and taken to prison, available to the Sicilian judicial authority.
