Was there ever somewhat of a rivalry between mafiosi from south Calabria and northern Calabria? Costello was from north and Anastasia was from south. I think the mustache petes might have been more accepting of Anastasia than Costello because of that due to everything south of cosenza being more identifiable with Sicily than Naples. Being Americans, Anastasia and Costello got along well.

It might as well be the 1970s in Mexico lmao

Could it also be a matter of $200,000 not meaning as much to them as it did in the 80s and 90s due to the Ndrangheta’s growth in power and wealth since then?

'Ndrangheta stragista trial, the turncoat Calabrò modified the declarations made when he began to collaborate and declared that he killed on his own the carabinieri Fava and Garofalo in 1994 and nobody ordered it. According to his previous version the murder was planned by both Cosa Nostra and 'Ndrangheta bosses and it was part of an elaborate and far-reaching strategy to destabilize the nation.
The 'Ndrangheta stragista, Gotha and Trattativa Stato-Mafia trials, among whose defendants there are important politicians, freemasons and secret service agents, under the total national media's silence, are both coming to the final stage, and in the latest months four turncoats (Leonardo Messina, Gioacchino Pennino, Marino Pulito and Vincenzo Grimaldi) who had to testimony disappeared and cannot be found.

Is the Siderno group as powerful as the Nirta family from San Luca(not the one associated with the Strangio clan). They have many connections in different countries.

Does anyone know how influential the Nasone Ndrina is or not?

'Ndrangheta: trial' 'Zappa 2' ', requested 25 sentences
PRINTDetails Published: 24 September 2019

Surveys of cocaine emerged in Italy from South America and Hashish from Morocco
by AMDuemila
Yesterday, the prosecutor of the Dda Stefano Musolino, at the end of the indictment of the "Zappa 2" trial asked the sentence, with sentences of up to 24 years, for 25 members belonging to a criminal drug organization headed by the 'Ndrangheta clan of the' Maesano-Paviglianti-Pangallo 'of the districts of " Jonico " and " Tirrenico ". Under accusation there are narcos with ramifications in various regions of Italy " from Calabria to Tuscany, Sicily, Sardinia Campania, Lazio, Liguria, Lombardy, Piedmont and Emilia Romagna". But also from abroad (France, Spain, Iraq, Ecuador and Morocco). The head of the organization was, according to the investigators, in Reggio Calabria but then it was in Milan that the network of illicit business resided in Colombia, Peru and Ecuador from where the cocaine arrived and in Morocco from where the hashish arrived. Organization members are accused of sending tons of cocaine from South America. " Each shipment - we learn - was made up of 150kg of drugs that arrived in Italy thanks to specially modified trucks to evade customs controls". The facts date back to about 15 years ago, between 2003 and 2004, investigators had managed to find out how the 'ndrangheta was able to launder huge sums of money and even set up and send a team of men abroad for the purpose of evading a big drug trafficker.

I am surprised Scilla isn’t as much of a ndrangheta stronghold as other areas of Reggio.

Value of sub-contracts allocated to different 'ndrangheta clans for the construction of the port of Gioia Tauro, in Calabria (1974-75)

So he's the son of Rumbo, currently detained in the 41 bis regime and considered the top element of the Commisso gang.

The Piromalli’s really received a lot more money than the other families. The total amount of Lire seems a little unbelievable though. Now this is in 1974 so how much would that be adjusted for inflation and in dollars? The lire put into a currency converter equals almost $1.5 billion but that is not adjusted for inflation. That’s about $300 million in 1975. I may be incorrect.

What are you talking about? The amount that Piromallis received ~1,400,000,000 italian lire is around 800,000$.

That’s where I was confused because it says values are in millions of lire under value of sub-contract. So I was looking at it as if the number was 6, then it would actually be 6 million lire. That is why I said the amount seemed oddly staggering.

In Vibo Valentia last night Salvatore Battaglia, 21, and Giovanni Zuliani, 23, were gunned down. Several gun shots fired with a 7.65 caliber pistol. To suffer the most serious consequences was Battaglia, reached by blows to the neck and abdomen, Zuliani, on the other hand, was injured in the legs. The two wounded, both known to the police, are both cousins ​​of Rosario Battaglia and Rosario Fiorillo, currently detained because they are considered to be at the top of the local 'Ndrangheta di Piscopio. Giovanni Zuliani was sentenced in July 2018 for drug dealing. A brother is detained for murder.

Salvatore Battaglia died at the hospital due to injuries sustained in the ambush.

On the afternoon of last Sunday, Carmelo Giovanni Tripodo died, in the province of Latina, for decades considered the forefather of all the Calabrian 'ndrine in Rome.
The boss died in the hospital where he was hospitalized and the funeral, in a strictly private form, as requested by the Latina police station, took place yesterday afternoon in the Fondi cemetery, with the prohibition of a solemn ceremony, believing that the funeral could create risks to order and public safety.
His father Domenico was stabbed to death in prison on the request of the De Stefano’s with the help of Camorra boss Raffaele Cutolo
Carmelo first moved to north Italy, later to Caserta in Campania, and finally in 1992 to Fondi in Lazio. He allied himself with the Calabrian Imerti-Condello clan, historical enemies of the De Stefanos. He was arrested on October 30, 1996, in Rome on charges of extortion and usury.

Do you think the clan will be able to oust the Mancusos?

According to Italian media, the Dutch entrepreneur and investor Marcel Boekhoorn is one of 51 suspects in a gambling and money laundering investigation that touches on the Calabrese branch of the Mafia: the 'Ndrangheta. The investigation is being conducted by the Guardia di Finanza from Reggio Calabria under the direction of the anti-mafia department of justice in Reggio.

The research is aimed at the Tegano family, which is said to have generated a turnover of 4.5 billion euros in the illegal (online) gambling sector in Italy and abroad. In cooperation with Eurojust there have been raids and seizures in Malta, Austria, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Isle of Man, the Netherlands, Curaçao, Serbia, Albania and Spain.

Boekhoorn may have to answer in court in Italy. Boekhoorn's Italian problems have been going on for some time. De Groene revealed the allegations about the Mafia investments.

Marcel Boekhoorn is one of the richest entrepreneurs in the Netherlands. He made his fortune with the purchase and sale of Telfort. Among other things, he owns Ouwehands Zoo and in 2018 he purchased the ailing HEMA retail chain. He is friends with prominent entrepreneurs and (former) politicians such as former Prime Minister Jan-Peter Balkenende and Hans Wiegel.

Yes because the Mancuso also deal with internal problems even fights between blood family and they are among the 'ndrine less inclined to accept the authority of Reggio Calabria, that's why the Piscopisani seek support in Commisso clan.

Why do they not accept authority from reggio?

Despite all the power and connections the Mancuso have, the clan has been excluded from the unitary structure of the 'Ndrangheta Reggina.

It sounds like there is little to no chance that the powerful Reggio clans step in during this battle amongst them then.

There is high chance that powerful Reggio clans will step in to calm things down , remember after that massacre in Germany , they were ordered to stop the feud asap because it attracts too much attention.

I'm sure it was on the agenda last month at the meetings of the Crimine during Festival of the Madonna di Polsi in San Luca.

The Reggio families are so much more powerful than the Mancusos. Would any of them consider trying to take their territory and businesses during this internal battle?

The son of the 'ndrangheta boss: "So I convinced my father to repent"

From mafiosi to collaborators of justice: dad and son are unveiling the assets of the northern gangs

He is called Salvatore, he is 29 years old, and is the son of Emanuele De Castro, known as "the Sicilian", considered the boss of the ' Lombard Ndrangheta . Near the clan of Villagrazia of cosa nostra, Emanuele De Castro had become the deputy regent of the Calabrian cell of Legnano . Now both he and his son have become collaborators of justice.

Because they decided to collaborate
It was the son who pushed him to make this choice, who explained to the prosecutors: "I am tired of this lifestyle, especially that of my father - as Corriere.it writes - I myself induced him to do this choice".

He could not take it more than a life of continuous arrests and sentences, aware that he would come out of the 'ndrangheta either dead or collaborating with the State. And he chose this second option.

"I decided to cooperate because I don't want my son to do it as I did. Because I'm tired, it seems like an absurd life. I would like to live a quiet life with my partner and my child "explained the 'ndrangheta boss who, before collaborating, had sent two letters, from prison, directly to the deputy prosecutor Alessandra Dolci, head of the Milan Anti-Mafia District Directorate .

What did they tell the public prosecutors?
Dad and son are a flood. They have filled hundreds of pages of reports telling all they know, so what are the assets of the gangs in the North and also the alleged relations with politics, business and public administration.

Father and son, arrested as part of the same investigation, ran a parking lot near Malpensa , later seized by investigators.

"I was peddling drugs. I was never baptized, my father didn't want me to work for "them" - said Salvatore De Castro - He told me to stay out of it ". «I asked him about his travels in Calabria , why he attended Rispoli: everyone knew that without his consent here he could not move leaf. And he told me that he belonged to the 'ndrangheta, "he concluded.

Not directly but they will back other clans in the province not only the piscopisani, also the Anello, the Fiumara, the Emanuele, the Vallelunga, the Tassone, the Mantella and the Bonavota.

Do you see a powerful family from outside of Reggio ceasing power? San Luca is seen as the true power of the Ndrangheta but I don’t see how that is the case with the Piromallis, De Stefanos, Condellos and so on being outside of San Luca.
