The 'Cavalli di race' operation of the Milan, Reggio Calabria and Florence prosecutors "is the plastic representation of what the Ndrangheta is today: a mix of archaicity and absolute modernity that projects the organization into the future". This was stated by the deputy prosecutor with delegation to the Dda of Milan Alessandra Dolci during a press conference in which the details of the investigation were illustrated that only in Lombardy led to the arrest of 54 people under investigation for various reasons of 'Ndrangheta-style associations, extortion, drug trafficking, bankruptcy and tax crimes.

On the one hand - the anti-mafia prosecutor observed - "the initiation rites" and "eat them" remain, on the other hand there is a " 'Ndrangheta 2.0 which exploits entrepreneurs to acquire their know-how" so as to "replace the bribes with the proceeds of tax evasion ".
