Giuseppe Scopelliti (born 21 November 1966 in Reggio Calabria, Italy) is an Italian politician.

[1] On 9 October 2012, the Italian government decided to dissolve the city council of Reggio Calabria for infiltration by the 'Ndrangheta.

The move came after some councillors were suspected of having ties to the powerful crime syndicate, under the 10-year centre-right rule of Giuseppe Scopelliti, mayor from 2002 to 2010.

He was sentenced to six years in prison, a 120,000-euro fine, and permanently banned from public office on 28 March 2014.

Scopelliti was found guilty of abuse of office and misinformation while serving as mayor of Reggio Calabria (2002–2010).
