Source: BBC

The man believed to be the "top boss" of an alleged Italian crime family is among those arrested in a police sweep.

At least 300 people were arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of crimes including murder, money laundering and belonging to a criminal organisation.

The Calabrian mafia, known as 'Ndrangheta, is one of Italy's major criminal organisations.

Domenico Oppedisano, 80, said by police to be the family head, was arrested a small coastal town in Calabria.

Police also arrested the organisation's manager in Milan, northern Italy, among 160 others in the Lombardy region.

Those held include businessmen and a public health official.
