DIA: in 2022 count 25 'ndrangheta clubs in Lombardy, also present in Legnano and Rho
According to the complex balance sheet recently published by Dia, Legnano is among the cities in the province of Milan under the attention of these criminal organizations mostly linked to the Calabrians

Mafia organizations are less violent and more silent so as not to attract attention and can infiltrate the economic fabric by also implementing corrupt practices. At the same time they are more multi-ethnic depending on the criminal activities to be carried out in an attractive territory such as Lombardy where 25 'ndrangheta premises are apparently operational . And Legnano is among the cities in the province of Milan that has received the attention of these criminal groups mostly linked to the Calabrians.This is what emerged from the report on the activity carried out and the results achieved by the Anti-Mafia Investigation Directorate in the second half of 2022. A document published today, Thursday 14 September, useful for outlining a profile of organized crime spread throughout Lombardy.

In the provinces of the Court of Appeal district of Milan and Brescia, the presence of groups attributable to Calabrian organized crime has been confirmed by numerous operations recorded from 2005 until 31 December 2022. «The consistency of many groups has been weakened or canceled from the counteraction, but - as stated in the report - their particular dynamism makes them particularly elusive to the incessant attempts at downsizing on an operational level. This is due to the continuous phases of regeneration and structural renewal, not always deducible from investigative/judicial evidence, of the inclusion of new associates or from the interaction with other groups, even of different origins or geographical origins". In particular, there are 25 premises present in the Region in connection with the Reggio mother company, among these there are the premises in Milan, Bollate, Bresso, Cormano, Corsico-Buccinasco, Pioltello, Rho, Solaro and precisely Legnano.

White collar mafias
According to Dia, mafias increasingly prefer to direct their attention to business-entrepreneurial areas,taking advantage of the availability of huge capital accumulated through traditional illicit activities. These are "modi operandi" where we try both to strengthen the associative bonds through the pursuit of profit and the search for consensus by taking advantage of the strong economic suffering that characterizes some areas, and to keep up with the most advanced investment strategies, managing to also seize the opportunities offered by national and community public funds (Recovery Fund and PNRR). From the analysis, a characteristic of organized crime emerges: «resilience, as well as the ability to quickly grasp the technological transformations and economic-financial phenomena on a global scale, exploiting every profit opportunity and realizing a notable speculative expansion.

Albanian criminal groups
Albanian organizations have long integrated with local crime, becoming, not only in Italy, one of the most complex and articulated expressions in the crime scene, as partners and providers of criminal services for other groups, with a reputation for notable reliability. , especially for drug trafficking. Furthermore, the large availability of money allows the Albanian mafias to have access to sophisticated technological and IT equipment to evade enforcement by the police and judicial authorities, making the investigative effort always difficult and demanding.
