Police bust Catania Mafia drugs ring

(ANSA) - Catania, November 24 - Police on Tuesday arrested 37 people in relation to alleged drugs offences committed in and around Sicily's second largest city, Catania.
    Investigators say the suspects have links to the Cappello-Bonaccorsi Mafia clan specialised in drug trafficking in the area. They include the owner of a charitable organisation running an ambulance service in Catania and an undertaker whose business allegedly served as the criminal organisation's logistical base.
    The suspects face various charges including drugs and weapons-related offences. On occasion the drugs were reportedly transported by ambulance with the sirens blaring to elude controls.
