Corigliano-Rossano mafia investigation: suspects exercise right to silence

Ginestra investigation Ndrangheta Damiano Pepe Flavio Stasi Catanzaro

During the Ginestra anti-mafia investigation led by the Catanzaro District Anti-Mafia Directorate, several suspects have chosen to exercise their right to remain silent during guarantee interrogations. Individuals including Carmine Ginese, Natale Perri, Giovanni Chiaradia, Piero Chiaradia, and Aldo Abbruzzese declined to answer questions from Judge Fabrizia Giacchetti.

Damiano Pepe, described by prosecutors as a high-ranking mafia figure in the Cosentino area, also declined to respond to questioning via videoconference following his discharge from the hospital.

The investigation also involves Corigliano-Rossano Mayor Flavio Stasi, who is under house arrest. Stasi is suspected of allegedly promising favors in exchange for votes to Annibale Matalone, an individual arrested for the 2023 murder of Carmine Morello. Nicola Fiorita, the Mayor of Catanzaro, has publicly called for Stasi’s release, arguing that the judicial measures taken against him lack sufficient evidence.
