Processo 'Acero': 37 condanne contro le cosche della Locride

____________

The GTA Siderno Group will be affected by the sentencing of Carmelo Bruzzese, the Coluccios, the Aquinos, and members of the Marina di Gioiosa Ionica locale.

As mentioned before Vincenzo Crupi based in Holland was recorded by the Italians talking about a power struggle with the mafia in Canada.

But you don't have any evidence that Crupi and his brother-in-law, Vincenzo Macrì, were talking about mafia members other than Siderno Group members in the Greater Toronto Area. You certainly don't have any proof that they were talking about the mob war in Montreal, which you previously speculated about because a Reuters English-language article stated the following: “They are killing each other over there,"[Crupi] said in one recorded telephone call after returning from a trip to Toronto.

Let's assume Crupi was talking about the Montreal mob war. Does he sound as though the 'ndrangheta on the Italian mainland is somehow involved in that war? Or does he sound surprised, shocked, disgusted, bemused, etc.? Or does he sound as though the 'ndrangheta in Calabria has a detached stance about that war?

I prefer to stick to what the law-enforcement authorities picked up in the intercepts.

From the September 28, 2015 joint press release by the Direzione Distrettuale antimafia e antiterrorismo and the Procura della Repubblica presso il Tribunale di Reggio Calabria (I typed the excerpts below, trying as much as possible to reproduce the italics and bold fonts):

Le conversazioni ambientali intercettate tra CRUPI Vincenzo e il cognato MACRI’ Vincenzo, che forniscono anche un importante spaccato di recenti frizioni in atto tra diverse fazioni della 'ndrangheta reggina, radicate in Canada; in particolare, CRUPI, di ritorno da un viaggio a Toronto (Canada)^(12), riferisce a MACRI’ alcune importanti circostanze, apprese in Canada, riguardanti frizioni in atto tra membri di clan di 'ndrangheta presenti nell’Ontario, specie a seguito della morte del boss VERDUCI Carmine^(13), assassinato a Woodbrige, il 25 aprile 2014.

Si tratta di un importante esponente del Siderno Group, legato alla frangia COLUCCIO, guidata da COLUCCIO Giuseppe^(14).

Le propalazioni di CRUPI Vincenzo lasciano intendere come I’eliminazione di Carmine VERDUCI fosse stata pianificata e determinata dai fratelli FIGLIOMENI Angelo^(15) e Cosimo^(16), intesi i briganti, attualmente latitanti per associazione mafiosa.

Tali contenuti, per come espressamente riferito da CRUPI Vincenzo al cognato MACRI’, ponevano seriamente in evidenza i pericolo di una escalation di un conflitto armato in seno alla menzionata consorteria di 'ndrangheta, operativa da tempo in territorio canadese, per sopravvenuti contralti tra alcune frange dell’organizzazione, in particolare tra i COLUCCIO e i FIGLIOMENI.

In realtà, le conversazioni in argomento confermano la piena partecipazione della famiglia CRUPI e dei loro sodali al sodalizio mafioso transnazionale, laddove si riscontra che CRUPI, proveniente dal Canada forniva un dettagliato resoconto a MACRI’ Vincenzo circa l’esito dei suoi incontri in Canada con esponenti di vertice della 'ndrangheta, operante in quel territorio. Emergeva, tra l’altro, un significativo spaccato sull’operatività criminale di tale sodalizio, storicamente conosciuto come “Siderno Group of Crime”, confermando pienamente la sua dipendenza organizzativa e decisionale dalla “locale madre” sidernese.

No idea what his words means, was he talking about Ontario or Canada as a whole?

Giovanni Cilia, who along with his two sons Emanuele and Rosario was arrested in relation to Operazione Acero Krupy, has had assets worth 20 million euro seized. The assets include companies, properties, land, and vehicles. The Cilias are from Vittoria in Ragusa, Sicily and have been identified as stiddari.

Vincenzo Crupi was known in Aalsmeer, Holland for years as a hard-working flower trader, who stood up before dawn every morning to go to the auction. You would never suspect he's a top guy in the 'ndrangheta.

The hands of Italian organized crime in the largest flower market in the world. So from Amsterdam the drug arrives throughout Europe

"Those in the Ndrangheta have been arrested, but drug trafficking from Holland through the largest flower market in the world has not stopped. It is always in the hands of the Italians: now behind the whole business there are some Pugliese groups ».
Jaap Koijker, a Dutch entrepreneur in the field of flowers who for many years worked with characters linked to the Calabrian clans, is convinced of this.

Acquittal on appeal for 'Ndrangheta suspects
8 June 2019

Two Italian brothers, Vincenzo and Rocco Crupi, who were previously convicted as' Ndrangheta members who used the Aalsmeer flower auction for smuggling , have been acquitted by the Italian court on appeal, the Algemeen Dagblad reports .

The Crupi brothers were arrested in 2015 in Aalsmeer, where they lived and worked. The Italian justice department counts them as the mafiaclan of the 'Ndrangheta from the southern Italian Siderno. In the first instance they received 20 years (Vincenzo) and 15 years (Rocco) cell. Last week they were released from prison, report Italian media.

On appeal, the professional judges do not consider their mafia membership to be proven. A large sum of cash found by the judiciary apparently does not necessarily come from drug trafficking. It may also be related to the flower trade. The substantiation of the judgment has not yet appeared.

Vincenzo C. has been active at the flower auction in Aalsmeer since the 90s. He bought cut flowers all over the world and sent them to Italy. Justice saw that trade as a cover.

Olanda, il narcotraffico nelle mani delle mafie italiane

https://www.antimafiaduemila.com/ho...ico-nelle-mani-delle-mafie-italiane.html

The Netherlands is a major producer and leading distributor of cannabis, heroin, cocaine , amphetamines and other synthetic drugs that's the main reason all the major drug traffickers are based here.
Without the corruption here they couldn't move these huge loads of narcotics throughout Europe or even import it from Colombia.

it's an exagerration, there are several groups that move tons of drugs,not italian mafia only, the real strenght of italian mafia groups are politics conncetions inside eu and italy, and its huge richness, but concerning drug trafficking although ndrangheta is probably the single biggest coke mover it doesn't dominate aside italy

The Italians control the dutch drug trade to Italy and to some degree to Germany major markets, but to UK there are other groups of British-Irish origin.

yes, they controls something this and there in belgium, germany, switzerland, france etc. but aside italy they role in drug trafficking is marginal

The Netherlands is one of the most contaminated countries by the Calabrese 'ndrangheta, because of its strategic location as a transit port for drugs and the investment climate. This is what former mafia leader Luigi Bonaventura said in 2019. “All in all, the Netherlands is a good territory for business, for investment. There are many opportunities. It is one of the most contaminated countries. My top 3 would be Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands ”, says the former boss.

ndrangheta is overrated anyway, if cosa nostra wouldn' t do what it did in the 1990s it would be the end for italian mafia, the freemasons just have to thanks cosa nostra
