Italian police have arrested at least 50 people in a big anti-Mafia operation in the coastal region near Rome.
About 500 police officers, backed by dog units, a helicopter and coastal patrol boats are involved.
A police operation was also launched in the southern Calabria region, a hotbed of 'Ndrangheta Mafia crime.
The Rome crackdown, focused on the coastal suburb of Ostia, is said to be the largest yet in or near the capital. Three crime clans are being targeted.
