Lol yeah there's no Albanian OC activity in Calabria. It's all just sensationalist journalism.

Northern Italy is a different area in that regard. Cities like Milan and Turin are open territory. The Mafia is there, as are Ndrangheta, Camorra and SCU. And yes, Albanians, Russians, Serbs/Montenegrins, Nigerians, Chinese, North Africans (Moroccans, Algerians and Tunisians) are all operating there to some degree - but nobody is "taking over" the other. Inter-ethnic gang fights are largely a movie/TV/Grand Theft Auto thing. Especially over here in Europe, I have not yet to come across a major gang war between groups of different backgrounds. Everybody cleans their own house.
