The attack was averted thanks to the cooperation of the Italian and Turkish police, the Italian authorities announced on Wednesday. The Turkish man is accused of international arms trafficking, aiding illegal immigration and possession and transportation of weapons, among other things.
Arrests also made in Switzerland, the Netherlands and Bosnia
The criminal organization to which the arrested man belonged was led by a Turkish man arrested in Italy last May. The alleged head of the organization, one of Ankara's most wanted criminals, was arrested along with 20 other people in a raid carried out by Italian security forces with police in Switzerland, the Netherlands and Bosnia. The man had organized large-scale drug and arms trafficking and smuggled migrants to Europe via the Balkan route. He is also said to have planned terrorist attacks in Europe.
