Peddling Victory: Mafia involved in Plastic-Free Operation Faces 150 years in Prison

Explain to me briefly the following article:

The process stemming from the “Plastic Free” operation, carried out in October 2019 in Vittoria, in the Ragusa area, by the police (mobile team of Ragusa and Catania) and coordinated by the Dda of Catania, is nearing its conclusion. The operation, according to the prosecution’s theory, had dismantled a mafia group linked to the stidda. Fourteen people (one position was separated for health reasons) are accused of involvement in various crimes such as aggravated extortion, illicit competition with threats, aggravated injuries, receiving stolen goods, possession and carrying of firearms, damage due to fire, and aggravated illegal waste trafficking. Crimes committed with mafia methodology. Yesterday the prosecution, represented by the Dda prosecutor Alfio Gabriele Fragalà, in front of the Collegiate Court of Ragusa (President Panebianco, alongside Manenti and Rabini) delivered the closing arguments which ended with requests for a total of 150 years and 9 months of prison sentence in the first instance.
