Tunisian-led Cocaine Network Uncovered
Italian police have uncovered a transnational criminal network primarily composed of Tunisian citizens, active in trafficking cocaine in the city of Piadena in northern Italy. The network operated a call center in Tunisia to manage orders and direct street dealers. The investigation, which began in 2025, led to the arrest of nine top members and the referral of 36 individuals to the judiciary. The group relied on a phone number linked to a center in Tunisia to communicate with clients and used social media platforms for promotion. The network employed violence to protect drug distribution areas and organized sham marriages to obtain residence permits. They also used secure communication channels to coordinate, smuggling weapons and forged documents. Authorities recovered and confiscated a luxury car belonging to the gang's leader. The group employed methods to evade surveillance after some members were arrested. It is evident that the network maintains connections with groups in Spain and France, and its members are currently facing legal proceedings.
