Police in Sicily moved against another Mafia clan in pre-dawn raids today, Nov. 20, 2018, this one targeting a group based in Giarre, a suburb of Sicily’s second-largest city, Catania, on the island’s east coast. Police found a common theme among several of those arrested — the same bright-red tattoo of a lipstick kiss on the arm and the word “Forever,” which investigators with the Carabinieri say is a sign of their undying bond and affiliation to their sponsors in the Catania Mafia. The tattoos gave police their name for the anti-Mafia investigation, calling it “Smack Forever.”
Seventeen people were arrested, both men and women, including the alleged boss: Alessandro Liotta. The yearlong investigation used wiretaps and informants, both of which revealed details of their operations. The allegations include corruption in the 2016 municipal election. Wiretaps caught the mobsters cajoling voters to support their chosen candidates, sometimes nicely with gifts, including gift cards and gasoline vouchers, and sometimes not. They were also allegedly involved in other mob standards.
