Italian police on Thursday seized
six million euros from three members of the Puglia mafia, the
Sacra Corona Unita (SCU), near Lecce.
The three, along with 30 others, were involved in drug
trafficking, police said.
They were all arrested earlier this month in a major drugs
bust.
The Puglia mafia, the Sacra Corona Unita (United Holy Crown,
SCU), is the smallest of Italy's four mafias.
It has dwindled to a fraction of its former strength thanks
to waves of police action.
The other three mafias are 'Ndrangheta from Calabria, Cosa
Nostra from Sicily and the Camorra from Naples.
