Giuseppe Piromalli (Italian pronunciation: [dʒuˈzɛppe piroˈmalli]; born January 4, 1945), is an Italian criminal known as a member of the 'Ndrangheta in Calabria. He succeeded his uncle Girolamo Piromalli as head of the family clan that controls the port of Gioia Tauro and is one of the major powers in the 'Ndrangheta. 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.[1]
He had been a fugitive since 1993 and included in the list of most wanted fugitives in Italy until his capture in March 1999. While in the strict Article 41-bis prison regime, he nevertheless keeps on conducting his business and directing the clan outside.
