Salvatore Aquino

Salvatore Aquino (born February 29, 1944 in Gioiosa Ionica), also known as "Turi", is an Italian criminal and a member of the 'Ndrangheta in Calabria. He is the boss of the Aquino 'ndrina from Gioiosa Ionica.[1] The clan is opposed to the Mazzaferro clan from the same town.[2]

He became a member of La Provincia, a provincial commission of the 'Ndrangheta formed at the end of the Second 'Ndrangheta war in September 1991, to avoid further internal conflicts.[3]

He was arrested on February 13, 1999, in Marina di Gioiosa Jonica. He was sentenced to 15 years for criminal association and international drug trafficking in the Nord-Sud trial in Milan.[1][4] He was involved in running a heroin lab in Rota d'Imagna in the province of Bergamo that was discovered in 1990.[5]
