Interpol arrested on Wednesday three members of an Italian mafia organization in Buenos Aires for drug trafficking and production in Italy.

The arrests of suspects linked to the 'Ndrangheta group occurred through a joint operation between Italian and Argentine Interpol authorities after their entry into Argentina was confirmed.

The detainees include a 54-year-old Argentine with Italian citizenship and two Italians, ages 79 and 54.

The investigation into the 'Ndrangheta crime group began three years ago in Italy and has resulted in the arrests of dozens of alleged associates.

According to authorities, 'Ndrangheta has been expanding since the 1990s and securing a dominant role in international drug trafficking, surpassing renowned groups such as the Cosa Nostra.
