Blitz of the Carabinieri del Ros in the night with the execution in Venice and other Italian cities of 39 arrests against former members of the Banda del Brenta who with mafia methods were trying to reconstruct the former criminal group, for the control of the territory.
The operation, coordinated by the anti-mafia prosecutor of Venice, involves about eighty people, accused of drug trafficking, robbery and extortion.
The commands of the Carabinieri of Venice, Padua, Treviso and Rovigo took part in the execution of the precautionary measures.
The criminal episodes ascertained by the investigations concern the last ten years.
The attempt to reorganize what had been the Mala headed by Felice Maniero would also have been favored with the release in recent years of some former members of the criminal group that from the 70s onwards had bloodied the Veneto.
