Rome: An Italian
magistrate was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of corruption and
associating with elements from the country's wealthiest and most
powerful mafia group.
Giuseppe Vincenzo Giglio, magistrate at the Reggio Calabria
tribunal, who also headed a unit against organised crime, helped a
member of the Lampada crime clan and facilitated activities of the
'Ndrangheta organised crime network, investigators said.
The 'Ndrangheta network has its roots in the southern Calabria
region where Reggio Calabria is the urban centre.
Part of the magistrate's job was to order the seizure of assets
belonging to convicted members of the mafia.
The mafia network invests billions of euros in businesses and real
estate and its activities have also been traced to North and South
America, Australia, as well as other European countries.
