'Ndrangheta Mafia Raids Lead to 29 Arrests, Including German Police Officer

German and Italian authorities arrested dozens of suspects, including a police officer, in raids against the 'Ndrangheta criminal organization for fraud involving expensive food and pizza-making equipment.
The 'Ndrangheta is Italy's wealthiest Mafia and is involved in drug trafficking.
The suspects are accused of orchestrating a fraud that targeted Italian firms, posing as representatives of German food companies and operating under a fake company, ordering large quantities of food without payment, resulting in hundreds of thousands of euros in losses.
The arrested police officer allegedly helped the suspects by disclosing confidential information.
