Twenty-two people were investigated as part of "Operation Cleopatra" following investigations by anti-mafia prosecutors. Half were placed in pre-trial detention and another six put under house arrest. The suspects are accused of offences including criminal association aimed at drug trafficking, drug dealing, illegal possession of firearms, aggravated theft, corruption and breach of police records.
