The nun is alleged to have been the conduit between the gang and its associates in prison

Summary

Italian authorities arrested 25 people, including a nun, for alleged links to the ’Ndrangheta, Italy’s most powerful mafia. The nun, a volunteer at Milan’s San Vittore prison, allegedly acted as a communication link with imprisoned associates.

Among those arrested were politicians from the Brothers of Italy and League parties, accused of aiding the gang with crimes like vote-buying and money laundering.

Charges include extortion, drug trafficking, and tax crimes. Authorities seized €1.8 million in illicit earnings.

The ’Ndrangheta, based in Calabria, is a global crime group funded by cocaine revenues.
