Vincenzo Pasquino, the powerful drug trafficker of the ‘ndrangheta, decided to collaborate.

He had been extradited from Brazil after a long period of hiding. His profession of faith in the clans: «I was a goat-herder and they taught me to read and write»

GIUSEPPE LEGATO


The super-narco of the ‘ndrangheta Vincenzo Pasquino of Volpiano has come a collaborator of justice. His first statements made before the DDA of Reggio Calabria, personnel of the ROS of the Carabinieri and the Investigative Unit of the Arma of Locri, have become public. «I intend to collaborate with justice» explained Pasquino last May 24 to the investigators after being extradited from Brazil, where he had been arrested after a long period of hiding, a country from which he governed the routes of international drug trafficking for years.

The ‘ndrangheta clans of all Italy are trembling, especially those of Platì, San Luca and Turin because Pasquino grew up under the wing of the very powerful Agresta family of Volpiano, but over time he has become a broker for the major mafia families originating from Locride and Aspromonte.
The fugitive status and arguments with his wife

The former red primrose of the Calabrian clans who suddenly disappeared from circulation in October 2017 had taken refuge in Brazil after a quick trip to Platì: «Here in Calabria everyone is asking for you, you have to come down» a boss ordered him on the phone. His wife, enraged by his constant - and sudden - trips, had reprimanded him: "They use you like an errand boy, realize that." But Vincenzo, an orphan of both father and mother, raised among the Agrestas and their criminal interests, had made it clear right away: «I don't like to have these conversations but know that if they ask me to choose between them and you I'll kick you out. These – he tells her – are the people who raised me, I've never had a father. I was a goatherd and they taught me to read and write. When I stank of hunger you weren't there to bring me 5 euros to live and buy cigarettes».

High-profile criminal encounters

A profession of mafia faith rarely seen in the records of an investigation. Which took him far to South America first to help the Assisis, disappeared and then arrested by the Policia Federal and the Turin Carabinieri in July 2019, and then even to meet Morabito, one of the top 10 most wanted fugitives in the world.
