The ‘Ndrangheta, captured the fugitive Fish: he was the head of the clan that imported the cocaine – The Republic

The arrest of Antonino Pesce (ap) REGGIO CALABRIA Is over the inaction of Antoninus Fish, 34-year-old regent of the namesake clan in Rosarno arrested in the night by the police. With him was also arrested Tonino Belcastro, 53 year old of Gioia Tauro, which is accused of aiding and abetting. A hat with a visor that hides your eyes, face the elder of his 34 years cut in two by a sarcastic sneer, when the fug itive is led away in handcuffs from the villa to the sea where he was hiding, and it seems almost not to believe that his flight is over.

The blitz the carabinieri of the provincial command of Reggio Calabria and the company of Gioia Tauro has intercepted when he was about to go away. And took him totally by surprise. So as to make him fear, at least for a moment, that they were not police men, with their faces covered by the mephisto, it’s around midnight, broke into his hideout. The blitz – has learned in the family, with father, uncles, and cousins aged in hiding – are always performed around 4 in the morning. But this time the police have decided not to risk it. More than a signal, he suggested that Fish would be able to dispel shortly. And around midnight decided to take action. A team to surround the house, the other inside, to lock him and the flanker.

the Fish was on the second floor, in an apartment full of clothes and toys for the kids, probably his younger children. Allayed the initial fears of an ambush organized by one of his many enemies, when he saw in front of the investigators, the fugitive has first tried to get rid of the gun by throwing it from a window, then he turned with anger to the police, shouting at them “you got the call?”. Fish was convinced that his absence had been burned by a tip-off, but dropping it was only the habit of regularly meeting with his wife and children, in an area of Gioia Tauro that the patrols do not forget to check. Lights on in a house normally inhabited have been the alarm bell that has attracted the attention of the investigators, the carelessness with which the Fish hung out of the windows, his destruction.

Sought after in July of this year for criminal association and international drug trafficking, the 34-year-old Antonino Fish, the son of the boss Giuseppe is considered to be a powerful man, and dangerous. Despite his young age, is considered the regent of the homonymous clan. Arrests and processes have thinned the ranks of the organization, leaving to him the sceptre of command. He was, say the judges, to manage the importation of cocaine on behalf of the clan, as to administer affairs on licit and illicit family, to ensure the maintenance of the men of the clan prisoners and their families.

her role, it became clear in the investigation into the Volcano in which it had been issued to him a warrant of arrest, which for months has been able to escape. At the time, the financiers of the provincial Command of Reggio Calabria were able to discover a new way that clans trasbordavano cocaine imported from South America. Arrived in Italy on a cargoship, the drug was thrown into the sea before the ship attraccasse in port and recovered from some motorboats are fast. A new method – was unveiled at the time of the survey – that it could count on the complicity of the captain of the ship “Msc Poh Lin”, belonging to the shipping company, Msc is committed to working on the “California Express”. A route is "convenient" for the narcos of the clan: before entering the port of Gioia Tauro, touching the ports of panama Balboa and Cristobal, considered by the investigators to the main sorting centres in the international “white”. When the operation Volcano is taken, on board the ship, the financiers are able to discover 83 kilograms of cocaine pure.
