Giuseppe Mangialavori

In 2019, Mangialavori was accused of involvement with the organized crime syndicate 'Ndrangheta by supplying logistic ideas for the organization in exchange for support in his election. Additionally, his daughter has been accused of working for a known member of the organization. While authorities appear to be looking into the claims, other parties involved in the scandal have resigned, and the case involving Mangialavori appears to have gone to the upper courts.

In the 2018 general elections he indicated interest under the Forza Italia as the leading candidate in the Senate of the Republic in the Calabria plurinominal college and was elected. On 7 June, following the resignation of the regional councillor Wanda Ferro (elected to the Chamber of Deputies), Mangialavori returned to the regional council (as the first of the non-elected) as councilor, but resigned on 26 June due to his ambition in the senate. Since 9 November 2018 he is the vice president of the Forza Italia group in the Senate.

In 2014, Mangialavori ran for the position of regional councillor, under the Casa delle Libertà political party, in support of the candidate for president Wanda Ferro, and was elected.

He began his political in 2010, when in the administrative elections of Vibo Valentia he ran for the position of city councillor in the Popolo della Libertà list in support of the candidate for mayor Nicola D'Agostino, being elected and the most voted among the councillors. This recognition allowed him to become the President of the municipal council of Vibo Valentia.
