To collect the money bosses and prominent elements of the Piromalli-Molè gang of Gioia Tauro, including people already sentenced for mafia-type criminal association, 2 of whom subjected to the measure of special surveillance, with an obligation to stay, and top figures of the 'ndrangheta of the Tyrrhenian mandate.

This is what emerged from the "Jobless Money" operation of the Carabinieri of the Compagnia di Gioia Tauro, with the coordination of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Palmi, which discovered and reported 37 "sly men".

The damage to the state coffers
The irregularities found by the military against 37 citizens, including 33 Italians and 4 foreigners, have made it possible to estimate the total tax damage in approximately 279 thousand euros, avoiding for the future a further shortfall of approximately 134 thousand euros, sums that the criminals would otherwise have cashed. After the investigation, the citizenship income in their favor was blocked.

Residence changed  
Among the stratagems used to obtain income, that of altering the residence and the family unit. This is the case of mother and son who had declared that they belong to two different families. In reality the two lived under the same roof and as address they had given that of an abandoned ruin, without utilities and services.

Income for people banned from public offices
, also cases of other people who, despite having been the recipients - following a final sentence - of perpetual interdiction from public offices and therefore unable to access any type of public benefit , had managed to obtain the disbursement of citizenship income anyway. Among them a person who, a few months before obtaining the income, had purchased a new car.
