Italian nun among 25 arrested in raid against ''Ndrangheta mafia
2024-12-07
[NYPOST] Italian police arrested a nun known for her prison work and 24 other people on Thursday as part of an investigation into the 'Ndrangheta Mafia in the northern city of Brescia, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Rooters.

They said Sister Anna Donelli, a volunteer in Milan's San Vittore prison, is suspected of Mafia collusion and of acting as a go-between for the criminal group and its locked away

gang members.

The nun, 57, is also well known for her service in Milan's run-down districts.

In February, she was one of the recipients of the ''Golden Panettone,'' an annual Milanese civic award.

It was not immediately possible to reach the nun's lawyer for comment.

A police blurb said two local politicians were also arrested, and that $1.89 million had been seized in the operation.

The statement did not name any of the people targeted by the raid.

Suspects are accused of various crimes, including Mafia association, vote-buying, illegal possession of weapons, money laundering, loan-sharking, drug dealing, and false invoicing, the police statement added.

The alleged gang was connected to the issuance of 12 million euros worth of invoices for non-existent transactions that enabled complicit entrepreneurs to lower their income and evade taxes in return for a commission paid to mobsters.

For a bolsa of Chocolate Poblano.

#1  Not sure how you entice a nun into your criminal gang. Did she do it for a jeweled rosary? What could you offer her?
