A 59-year-old clan chief in the
Puglian mafia Sacra Corona Unita (United Holy Crown, SCU), was
arrested Tuesday for allegedly harassing a 30-year-old
mother-of-two he wanted to have a relationship with.
Michele Coluccia from Galatina near Lecce is believed to be a
top member of the Coluccia clan.
He was charged with persecutory acts after pursuing the woman
even though she made it plain she wanted nothing to do with him,
police said.
The SCU is the smallest of Italy's four mafias.
It has dwindled to a fraction of its former strength thanks
to waves of police action.
The other three mafias are 'Ndrangheta from Calabria, Cosa
Nostra from Sicily and the Camorra from Naples.
