More than 50 people were arrested or are wanted for arrest in Italy for alleged involvement.

Prosecutors filed detention orders against the accused in Rome and in Reggio Calabria, the capital of the southern Italian region where the ’Ndrangheta, the proper name of the Mafia there, was born.

There were no immediate signs that anyone in Canada was being arrested as a result of the probe, sources say.

Prosecutors in Italy said their investigation focused on several key clans, all of whom have a long and strong influence in Canada: Commisso, Aquino-Coluccio and Crupi clans. They are often referred to by police in Canada as “the Siderno Group” because of the proximity of their homes to Siderno, a picturesque town on the Ionian coast.

Several of the men linked to the current case were named in 2010 in a National Post investigation on the alleged Mafia presence in Ontario. At the time, Italian authorities revealed they tracked seven primary ’Ndrangheta families in the Toronto area, each with its own presumed boss.

The new allegations name four of those seven alleged bosses: Cosimo Figliomeni, 50, of Vaughan; Antonio Coluccio, 45, formerly of Richmond Hill; Angelo Figliomeni, 52, of Vaughan; and Domenico Ruso, 70, of Brampton. None could be reached for comment late Tuesday.

Also named is a man currently in custody in Canada and his son: Carmelo Bruzzese, 66, is challenging in court his deportation order to Italy for immigration violations and Italian authorities list him as a “fugitive” in prosecution documents; his son, Carlo Bruzzese, 30, is also listed as wanted and said to be living in Canada.
