Umberto Bellocco (Rosarno, December 17, 1937) is an Italian criminal and a member of the 'Ndrangheta, a mafia-type organisation in Calabria. He belongs to and was the boss of the Bellocco 'ndrina based in Rosarno. In the beginning of the 1980s he was involved in setting up the Sacra Corona Unita (SCU), a mafia-type organization in Apulia, to counter the growing influence of the Camorra. On his instigation Giuseppe Rogoli imported the codes, structure and initiation rites of the 'Ndrangheta to be used by the SCU.〔〔 Sciarrone, ''Mafie vecchie, mafie nuove'', p. 174〕〔 Gratteri & Nicaso, ''Fratelli di Sangue'', p. 155〕 He was arrested in June 1983 in Lecce in Apulia. He was sentenced to three years for illegal possession of firearms. In the subsequent years he received multiple charges for murder, extortion, drug trafficking and Mafia association. At some point he was charged with 14 murders. However, many charges resulted in acquittal in appeal. He was sentenced to 14 years for drug trafficking. In July 1988 he was released because the terms for detention expired, and became a fugitive.〔 (In libertà re della 'ndrangheta; era accusato di 14 omicidi ), La Repubblica, July 16, 1988〕 He became a member of ''La Provincia'', a provincial commission of the 'Ndrangheta formed at the end of the Second 'Ndrangheta war in September 1991, to avoid further internal conflicts.〔 (Sentenza procedimento penale Olimpia ), Tribunale di Reggio Calabria, January 19, 1999〕 He was arrested again on February 18, 1993.〔 (Preso Bellocco re della 'ndrangheta ), La Repubblica, February 18, 1993〕〔(Mafia arrest ), The Independent, February 18, 1993〕 and is currently in prison.
