Italian police on Thursday arrested
25 people on suspicion of belonging to the Calabria-based
'Ndrangheta mafia in Piedmont.
A so-called 'locale' or 'Ndrangheta branch was smashed
between Asti and Cuneo.
The gang dealt in drugs, weapons and extortion, police said.
Separately an 'Ndrangheta drug trafficker on the run for 22
years, 73-year-old Angelo Filippini, was arrested in Morocco
with the help of Interpol.
