Italian police arrested a nun known for her prison work and 24 other people on Thursday as part of an investigation into the ‘Ndrangheta Mafia in the northern city of Brescia, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
They said Sister Anna Donelli, a volunteer in Milan’s San Vittore prison, is suspected of Mafia collusion and of acting as a go-between for the criminal group and its jailed gang members.
The nun, 57, is also well known for her service in Milan’s run-down districts.

The statement did not name any of the people targeted by the raid.
