Palermo crackdown closes drug gates at largest Southern Italy square
Explain to me briefly the following article:
The crack dealing caught on camera thanks to microphones and cameras placed by investigators in the stronghold of Lo Sperone. A frenetic drug trafficking activity organized in two shifts (from 8 am to 6 pm and from 6 pm to 2 am) that allowed two criminal groups to earn up to 50 thousand euros per month. The operation was reconstructed by the police of the Brancaccio station, who yesterday carried out a blitz with eighteen arrests. The detention order was signed by the judge Fabio Pilato at the request of the magistrates of the Anti-Mafia District Directorate. 17 people are accused of being part of a criminal association aimed at drug trafficking, while one is accused of drug dealing. Many of them have numerous criminal records and, despite arrests and seizures over time, they have not hesitated to keep the business alive.
