International Operation Targets Cocaine Trafficking Network Linked to Italian Mafia

A coordinated police operation in France, Italy, and Switzerland has uncovered an international cocaine trafficking and money laundering network linked to the Italian Mafia, specifically the Camorra and 'Ndrangheta organizations. The investigation began in January 2023 and led to the detention of seven individuals. The cocaine was transported hidden in luxury vehicles, and the existence of properties and companies with suspicious financial ties to Italian companies was revealed. During the operation, luxury vehicles, properties worth over five million euros, cryptocurrencies worth 60,000 euros, and 26,000 euros in cash were seized.
