Biography
[edit]Born in Policoro (Province of Matera, Italy), Gaetano Giuseppe Vinci graduated from a classical high school and earned his law degree at the University of Bari. After completing his internship, he joined the Bar Association of Matera at the age of 27.[1]
Career
[edit]In April 2024, a night-time raid by the Direzione Investigativa Antimafia led to the pre-trial detention of 14 individuals,[2][3] in a task force action described as "Strike against the 'Ndrangheta and the Apulian Mafia (Sacra Corona Unita)".[4] Vinci's client was released without restrictions by the Court of Review at the very first available appeal hearing, two weeks later.[5]
In the "Marijuana Express" operation, Vinci's client, who was accused of the production, trafficking, and possession of illegal narcotics or psychotropic substances, was acquitted in October 2024.[6] The case gained media attention in Italy because the Guardia di Finanza officers "disguised" themselves as couriers[7] to deliver what appeared to be a conventional package, sent from Barcelona, Spain,[8] which actually contained 600 grams of cannabis.[9]
