77 suspects, 98 pages of arrest warrant: Was René Benko the ‘capo’ of a ‘mafia-like organization’, as the prosecutor in Trento, Italy, suspects? The “Krone” answers the most important questions.
René Benko is the target of the Italian anti-mafia prosecution. The investigation has been ongoing since 2019 and 77 suspects were known on Tuesday. An arrest warrant was issued against nine people. Also against financial juggler Benko, whom authorities in Trent suspect is the head or ‘capo’ of a ‘mafia-like organization’. In Italy, the main suspects risk a sentence of ten to fifteen years. They deny the accusations; the presumption of innocence applies.
