cooperation with Italian authorities
The raid is the result of an intensive investigation cooperation between German and Italian authorities, which aims to sustainably smash the structures of the mafia in Germany. The Situation is particularly explosive in Baden-Württemberg: According to the Interior Ministry, around 170 people who are assigned to organized crime live here. Active mafia organizations in this state are the `Ndrangheta, Cosa Nostra, Camorra and Sacra Corona Unita, which in the past appear through mafia activities such as fraud with food, drug trafficking, weapon offices and money laundering.
The measures in Baden-Württemberg focused on the Rems-Murr district, the district of Ludwigsburg and the Stuttgart area. This region is considered a retreat for criminal groups that benefit from the favorable economic conditions and the geographical location. Experts find that there are no permanent collaborations between different criminal groups, but suspect temporary cooperation in certain crimes.

A press conference with the Stuttgart public prosecutor and the police has been announced at the Waiblingen district office for 2:00 p.m. Further information on the arrests and backgrounds of the raid is expected to be published here. The police hope that this campaign has a better understanding of the structures and activities of the mafia in Germany to prevent organized crime.
