Calabria's farm
councillor, Michele Trematerra, has been placed under
investigation on suspicion of links to the region's powerful
'Ndrangheta mafia, judicial sources said Tuesday.
Trematerra, of the small post-Christian-Democrat UDC
party, is suspected of helping 'Ndrangheta-linked businessmen
win contracts from the regional government, they said.
Fifteen people are being probed including the former mayor
and an ex-councillor in the town of Acri.
