The York Regional Police have announced the conclusion of a large-scale, 18-month-long mafia investigation targeting the infamous Figliomeni crime family that has been called the largest organized crime bust in the history of Ontario.
Involving over 500 police officers and 48 executed warrants, the lengthy investigation was dubbed “Project Sindicato” and was aimed at a crime group with close ties to Italy’s ‘Ndrangheta mafia clan. A parallel investigation also took place in Calabria, Italy, and on the same day, the Italian State Police arrested 12 people in connection to the case.
