Returning to the legacy of Messina Denaro, who will now command the "Dome"? “Diabolik” may have raised his owndolphin : “It is likely that someone raised him, even if we don't know who. This is out of the question. But from hiding it is much more complicated " .

Ndrangheta has also problems nowadays with all the inquiries done by Gratteri, i think Cosa Nostra is still strong politically speaking but less involved in international drug trafficking
