Giovanni Bombardieri

Giovanni Bombardieri is an Italian prosecutor known for his extensive work in combating the 'Ndrangheta, one of the most powerful mafia organizations in Italy. He began his judicial career in 1990 as a judge in Locri and has since held several prominent positions within Italy's anti-mafia prosecution offices. Notably, he coordinated the significant Operation Eureka, which targeted the financial networks of the 'Ndrangheta and their connections with South American drug trafficking organizations. In 2024, Bombardieri became the chief prosecutor of the Anti-Mafia District Directorate in Turin, where he continues to lead efforts against organized crime. He was recently in the news for his involvement in a joint operation with Brazilian authorities against the 'Ndrangheta's connections to the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) drug trafficking group.
