Rome: Italian military police, the Carabinieri, said on Wednesday they had issued warrants to 97 people as part of a nationwide operation targeting the notorious Ndrangheta mafia group, reports Dynamite News correspondent.

"Some of the most important 'Ndrangheta clans are affected, whose members are accused of mafia-type crimes, aiding and abetting the mafia, drug trafficking, including international drug trafficking, drug possession and trafficking, extortion, kidnapping for extortion, mafia-type political election collusion, and possession and carrying of weapons," the statement read.

The operation focused on the southern region of Reggio Calabria. Its goal was to dismantle an alliance of drug-trafficking gangs forged by provincial clans to establish monopoly over drug trade.

The investigation involved helicopters and sniffer dogs. Two companies involved in the catering and construction businesses were impounded on suspicion of serving as a front for illegal activities.

Ndrangheta, which originates from the southern Calabria region, is considered one of the world's most dangerous criminal organizations. It has effectively monopolized the European cocaine market and deeply infiltrated the political and public life of the country.
