Italian police on Thursday seized
200 million euros in assets from three Catanzaro businessmen
believed to be linked to the Calabria-based 'Ndrangheta mafia.
Antonio Lobello and his sons Giuseppe and Daniele were arrested
in March on suspicion of falsely claiming goods, money
laundering, and self-money laundering.
Giuseppe Lobello was also charged with extortion and external
complicity in mafia association.
The preventive seizure of goods and assets was ordered by the
Catanzaro court's prevention measures section.
'Ndrangheta, which has long expanded from Calabria to most of
the rest of the world, is Italy's richest and most powerful
mafia thanks to its control of the European cocaine trade.
