Eight people were arrested by the Reggio Calabria mobile squad accused of having favored the inaction of the boss of the 'Ndrangheta Giuseppe Pelle, known as "Gambazza", considered one of the alleged leaders of the homonymous clan of San Luca.
Six of the arrested are relatives of Pelle, accused of having helped him escape the execution of a prison order under which he had to serve a residual sentence of 2 years and 5 months in relation to a definitive sentence for mafia association.
The other two involved in the operation are not relatives of the boss, but would have been his supporters anyway.
There are also the wife and two children of Giuseppe Pelle among the eight people arrested by the Reggio Calabria mobile squad accused of having favored the boss of the homonymous San Luca clan of the 'Ndrangheta during his inaction.
His wife, Marianna Barbaro, aged 55, and two sons of Pelle, Antonio, aged 35, and Francesco, aged 31, ended up in prison;
the son-in-law, Giuseppe Barbaro, aged 36, and his nephew Antonio Pelle, also 36 years old.
For another daughter of Pelle, however, Elisa, aged 35, house arrest was ordered.
Also arrested and taken to prison are 51-year-old Giuseppe Morabito and 43-year-old Girolamo Romeo, who, according to the accusation, had made available the property where Pelle spent his hiding.
