The 'Ndrangheta has surpassed some criminal organizations when it comes to trafficking drugs, specifically cocaine, in the Canada, the US & elsewhere. Part of the reason for this is the amount of satellite groups they have in the Caribbean, the UK, and through control of the ports in Calabria and other places. They may have caught these guys with mid-level stuff, but they're likely just trying to put together a paper trail, hoping it leads back to some of the bigger names.

The Verduci theory is interesting, if he was killed as a debt to settling old scores, I wonder if the other murders which occurred after Rizzuto's death, were also done to wipe the slate clean so to speak. Like Ducarme Joseph.
