Overview

• Judges found Pittelli guilty of external complicity with the 'ndrangheta in the Palmi-based 'Mala Pigna' trial after prosecutors had requested 16 years.
• The court convicted 18 defendants and acquitted eight, closing the first trial stemming from the investigation into the Piromalli clan.
• Entrepreneur Rocco Delfino, described by investigators as the clan’s economic arm, received 22 years for mafia association.
• On the same day, the Carabinieri’s ROS arrested 26 people in a related operation that included alleged boss Giuseppe “Pino” Piromalli.
• The tribunal will file its written reasons within 90 days, and Pittelli’s earlier 11‑year sentence in the Rinascita‑Scott case remains on appeal.
