The Bellocco 'ndrina is a clan of the 'Ndrangheta, a criminal and mafia-type organisation in Calabria, Italy. The 'ndrina is based in Rosarno, on the Tyrrhenian coast, and belongs to the locale of that town, particularly very active in drugs trafficking, arms trafficking, extortion and control of commercial and entrepreneurial activities.
The pentito Antonino Belnome affirms that regarding the supply of drugs through the Port of Gioia Tauro, it was necessary to refer to the Mancusos, the Pesce or the Bellocco. The last took 30% of the goods in transit or in cash or drugs.[1]
