Quick clarification; Even though often it's presented as having a horizontal structure.... It's kinda been proven that Ndrangheta has a strict hierarchy and chain of command. ALL the locales supposedly are clones of mother locales in Calabria. Edit; I also don't think your locale can be official if it's not ratified in Calabria, then you become, what is it called a bastard? Furious probably knows the term...
@ Furio
Correct me if I'm wrong here.....
Costa nostra and ndrangheta are criminal freemasonry. The Naples gangs mostly control products, markets. It's been like that since the world wars, with the black market first, then the huge cigarette trade. Then the huge open air drug markets and the high fashion sweat shops... They all infiltrate construction and agriculture/ supermarkets.
The ndrangheta become famous in the last years but in the last century,they created ndrine and Locali in all the world especially in Australia,of course a ndrine in another country must be recognized by the others an in fact every years in september there a summit of all the important bosses to the sanctuary of the Madonna of Polsi,here they decide if open or close a Locale,who must die etc http://www.laspia.it/ndrangheta-processione-madonna-crimine-riti-sacri-mafiosi/
