The two bands

The investigations, which lasted from 2019 to 2020 with environmental and telephone interceptions, led to the registration of 27 people in the register of suspects, 17 of whom had already been arrested red-handed over the years with the agents seizing 10 kilos of drugs and 50 thousand EUR.
