A nun and several politicians also ended up in handcuffs in a major operation against the 'ndrangheta by the Brescia District Anti-Mafia Directorate , which carried out 25 precautionary measures and the seizure of over 1.8 million euros , as well as numerous searches in the provinces of Brescia, Reggio Calabria, Milan, Como, Lecco, Varese, Verona, Viterbo and Treviso.
The association was dedicated to the commission of extortion, arms and drug trafficking, receiving stolen goods, usury, tax crimes and money laundering. Investigators also charged the crime of mafia political electoral exchange.
Among the excellent names we find those of the former municipal councilor of Brescia in the FdI quota Giovanni Acri and a former representative of the League , Mauro Galeazzi . And then there is Sister Anna Donelli , who ended up under house arrest, defined by the investigators as being at the service of the clans.
The nun is accused of external complicity in mafia association: " She made herself available to the association in some way to convey information from prison to the Tripodi group ." The nun is accused of having made available to the criminal group "her work of spiritual assistance in the prisons and in detention to convey messages between members of the criminal organization and the subjects detained in prison ." In essence, she conveyed "useful information to better plan criminal strategies to react to investigative activities and the judicial authorities." Her presence also served to " resolve disagreements and conflicts between the inmates inside the prison ."
