The cabinet on Thursday dissolved
three town councils near Reggio Calabria and one near Caserta
for mafia infiltration. The towns are San Felice a Cancello
(Caserta), Laureana di Borrello (Reggio Calabria), Bova Marina
(Reggio Calabria) and Gioia Tauro (Reggio Calabria). The cabinet
said "conditioning of the administrative activity on the part of
organised crime had been established". The dissolution of the
councils means local elections will no longer take place on June
11 at Gioia Tauro and Laureana di Borrello. The Calabrian towns
have been infiltrated by the Calabria-based 'Ndrangheta mafia
and the Caserta one by the Campania-based Camorra mafia, sources
said.
