Massive Mafia Arrest in Italy

Good.

Italian police have seized more than $220m of property and goods from the Calabrian mafia, the Ndrangheta.

In dawn raids, heavily armed special forces seized a number of houses, cars, land and businesses in Calabria and the northern industrial region of Lombardi.

The areas are strongholds of feuding mafia clans under investigation for six murders in Germany last August.

Thirty people have been arrested since six Italian men were gunned down in the north-western city of Duisburg.
