23 suspects detained as international team dismantles poly-criminal group in Salerno
Eurojust coordinated actions in Italy and Croatia targeting drug trafficking, arms trafficking and migrant smuggling.
Italian and Croatian authorities, coordinated by Eurojust, have dismantled an organised poly-criminal group operating in the Salerno area.
Investigators said the group made profits from a range of serious crimes, including drug trafficking, arms trafficking and migrant smuggling. The leader of the group was reportedly able to manage its activities from a prison facility, according to the information provided by Eurojust.
During operational actions carried out in Italy and Croatia, 23 suspects were detained. The group’s criminal network also included a Croatian arms dealer, who was among those detained, the source states.
The cooperation between the two countries and the coordination role played by Eurojust were highlighted in the case information released for the public.
No further details about charges, trial, or the outcome of the legal process were included in the supplied report. Detention means suspects have been taken into custody during the operation and does not establish guilt.
