A 'ndrangheta-cosa nostra pact for the illicit traffic, 16 suspects between the Vibonese and Turin.
A strike to the mafia branch in Piedmont of the Bonavota clan of Sant'Onofrio. A mafia structure that, according to investigators, has for years been rooted in Carmagnola - province of Turin - and neighboring areas, attributable to the Arone, De Fina and Serratore families , all originating from Sant'Onofrio and connected to the Bonavota cosca. The association would have been committed to committing crimes relating to weapons, drugs, money laundering and spending counterfeit money, directly acquiring the control of economic activities in the building, catering, bar, transport and automobile trade sectors .

It looks like the Ndrangheta and LCN get along very well. I know that calabrese and Sicilians are extremely similar as they are so close to one another. I’ve read that Messina was at one time under Ndrangheta control and is now ruled by both LCN and Ndrangheta. But how closely do Cosa Nostra and Camorra work together? Are they not as close?

The Court of Cassation confirmed the 11-year sentence imposed on the former bosses of Cosenza Daniele Lamanna and Franco Bruzzese accused of the murder of Luca Bruni, regent of the homonymous family of 'ndrangheta who disappeared with lupara bianca on 3 January 2012 Rende.

The remains of Bruni were found in the Rendese countryside two years later thanks to the revelations of Adolfo D' Oggetti who took part directly in the consummation of the crime. The shareholder, who was imprisoned for mafia association because he was considered a member of the "New Family" clan led by Maurizio Rango in Cosenza, decided after a few months of incarceration to collaborate with the prosecutors of the Catanzaro Dda led by Nicola Gratteri.

The same choice was made later by Lamanna and Bruzzese, also belonging to the same clan .

All syndicates from Mezzogiorno work together in particular in northern Italy. Casalesi boss Mario Crisci once said "In the North they are more dishonest than us, they make good money".

Are there any wars going on within the Ndrangheta? The Camorra is always at war from what I see but I understand they’re very different

The only major conflicts in Italy are in Foggia in Puglia with more than 30 murders in two years, Camorra had less than 10 murders in 2018.

ANSA) - Rome, March 21 - Italian police have seized some 30 million euros in assets from the Casamonica Roman crime family and members of clans in the Calabria-based 'Ndrangheta mafia, judicial sources said Thursday.
The seizure, made in May 2017, became an official confiscation on Thursday, the sources said.
Among the assets seized are 10 properties in Calabria, Rome and Ardea near Rome; 21 companies and businesses; 25 company buildings and 24 motor vehicles, including luxury cars.
A number of bars and restaurants in Rome's historical centre including near St Peter'sand in the trendy Trastevere district, were among the properties confiscated.
Two car salesrooms were also seized in Rome.
Police said the Casamonicas had sealed a pact to enable the Calabrian Mob to infiltrate the Italian capital's economic fabric starting in the 1990s.

Let’s say the most powerful clans are the Pesce or Piromali clans. How much of their business do you all believe is legitimate income that they can report? They clearly make a huge chunk from drug trafficking. But what else do they have going?

They make tons of money from legitimate business practices. They are in a way more powerful than the legitimate state.

Would individual clans ever even consider going legitimate once they get to a certain level of wealth and power? Or is that impossible because they are known drug traffickers?

I think that would be their ultimate goal, they want their sons to be professionals, lawyers, accountants, bankers etc...but in the end the 'ndrangheta as well as cosa nostra will always be a cult of death.

I think so too. How far is the reach of the Pesce clan and when did they come to prominence? I know the Piromali(I apologize if I spelled it wrong) clan has been powerful from the beginning but the Pesce Clan seems to have really risen up. The Pelle clan too. But I have seen people on here say that the true power will always be in Reggio Calabria. Seems like the closer geographically to Sicily the better

We even have lawyers who control the 'ndrangheta in Calabria and in Lombardy.

Are these lawyers gangsters are or they something more? I’m just trying to think how cruel and ruthless a lawyer could be. Both physically and mentally

And it may be different overseas but in the US, I think once someone is identified as a drug kingpin, it’d be very difficult for him to go legit.

Known lawyers who are also powerful bosses are Giuseppe Neri and Giorgio De Stefano the latter serves a 20 year sentence. They are gangsters who operate in both worlds.

I never knew that. I’ve seen their names around when I was looking up info on the ndrangheta but never saw anything about them being lawyers. How is that advantageous to them? Because they know the ins and outs of the law?

And do the tourist places of Calabria, Sicily and Naples come under control of the local mafias? For example, how influenced are towns like Cefalu(Sicily), Scilla(Calabria) or Capri or Procida(Naples)? Were all under mafia control at some time or are places like that for the most part left alone?

Of course popular tourists places are controlled by the mafia , you really think they don't want a cut from all that tourism ?

How does that help if they are lawyers? Go read this: http://www.gangsterbb.net/threads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=968037#Post968037

Lawyers,bankers and so on are on top of organized crime.

Controlled isn’t the right word. How present are they in those areas sounds a little better. Do they own some of the hotels and villas that tourists stay in? Same with restaurants? I’m guessing that’s where they make a lot of money from tourists.

How do these lawyers, bankers etc. get ingratiated into the mafia exactly? Are they blood relations? It almost appears that there are the lawyers, politicians and bankers as one org and then the mafia under them as they are button men in a way. Am I 100% off?

The boss Morabito will be extradited
Agreement signed last March for the transfer from Uruguay to Italy of the dangerous criminal

30 March 2019
Last March 1, on the occasion of the visit of Italian Foreign Minister Enzo Moavero, Italy and Uruguay signed an agreement on the transfer of convicted persons so that they "can serve their sentence in the territory of the State of compliance".

As we had anticipated, it was clear that the measure could relate to the case of Rocco Morabito, the 'Ndrangheta boss arrested in September 2017 after 23 years of inaction and currently imprisoned in the Central prison of Montevideo . The confirmation has just arrived: a criminal Appeal court has authorized the extradition to Italy of the Calabrian boss sentenced to 30 years in prison for mafia association and drug trafficking.

You would think that this would be a big blow to that clan

Below is the report by Maria Grazia Mazzola for Tg1 entitled "The infiltration of the 'Ndrangheta in Europe" . Antonino Vadalà, the entrepreneur at the center of the latest report by Jan Kuciak, the Slovak journalist killed last year along with his girlfriend reveals to an undercover agent, whom he considers his accomplice, as he gave orders to a minister. Vadalà says he bought the head of the secret services, the police, the finance, the interior ministry with a million euros.

It was remarkable 23 years on the run.

Each town within ’Ndrangheta territory contains a “Locale” - а basic administrative unit ruled by a boss, the Capo Locale, through his own chain of command.
The titles of his subordinates are not just there to sound fancy. Each is linked to a specific function.
A Capo-Crimine is something like a minister of war, while a Contabile acts as a treasurer.

The investigation in 2017 into the Morabito's among others led to a record number of arrested bosses, but it revealed structures and titles police had never heard of.
While some have been decrypted -- such as the “Corona” (Crown), which seems to be an alliance of five or more small Locali that join together to gain more weight in the Provincia -- investigators still have not figured out what the “Cavaliere di Cristo" (knight of Christ), “Crociata” (Crusade), or “Stella” (Star) are.

PROCESS' NDRANGHETA STRAGISTA
'Ndrangheta stragista, the repentant Fiume reveals the summits between Sicilians and Calabrians
Details Published: March 31st 2019

by Aaron Pettinari
Friday, at the trial, the new report was filed

"The first meeting between Sicilians and Calabrians, carried out in Lombardy, in which there was talk of stragist strategy took place in the period in which Valente or Valenti was killed in the Bologna prison. If I am not mistaken, the Mormile murder had already been consummated". It is the repentant Antonino "Nino" Fiume , brother-in-law and right-hand man of Peppe De Stefano ("crime chief" of the 'Ndrangheta of Reggio), who put these statements on record last March 14. Fiume had to be heard last Friday, but the testimony was missed, at the trial "'Ndrangheta stragista" which sees Rocco Santo Filippone accused , considered close to the powerful ndranghetist clan of "Piromalli"Giuseppe Graviano , already at 41 bis for the massacres of '92 and '93. Both are accused of the Carabinieri attacks between 1993 and 1994, when the pinned Antonino Fava and Vincenzo Garofalo died; attacks that must be read within the stragista context of those years aimed at blackmailing the State and adopting softer measures to combat organized crime.
The interrogation report was however filed by the deputy prosecutor Giuseppe Lombardo and the picture that emerges is precisely the involvement in some meetings by the bosses De Stefano of Reggio, the Mancusos of Vibo and the Reggio referents in Lombardy, Franco Coco Trovato and Antonio Papalia .
Summit were also held in the Vibonese area, along the "Costa degli dei". "If I remember correctly - recalled Fiume - we stayed several times in Parghelia, certainly during the summer of 1990 at the Blue Paradise. I was always in the company of Giuseppe or Carmine De Stefano . During the stay, Coco Trovato were also present. Totò Schettini We were invited by Luigi Mancuso , to whom Coco had given us an expensive watch: the same Mancuso accompanied us to the tourist village together with his driver Totò Pronesti and his nephew Salvatore Russo. I do not remember if already in the 1990s there was talk with the Mancusos of the stragista strategy desired by the Cosa Nostra. If I remember correctly, the speeches started later. What I remember with certainty is the fact that the first meetings on this topic took place in Lombardy and are the meetings organized by Coco Trovato but wanted by Antonio Papalia ".
But the repentant also spoke of another meeting that would take place in 1991 in Contrada Badia a Nicotera: " The meeting lasted many days in 1991, after the failed attempt on Coco Trovato and Giuseppe De Stefano. I remember having slept in various places in the availability of the Mancusos, even near the garden of the parish of Limbadi. I confirm that during this meeting the strategy of the stragista was discussed, and it is carried out by Cosa Nostra Franco Coco Trovato was certainly possibilist. It is useless to reiterate that Franco Coco Trovato was first of all a man of Papalia, Antonino and Domenico " . These words Fiume will soon have to repeat them in the courtroom in front of the Court of Assizes of Reggio Calabria, presided by Ornella Pastore .
In addition to the collaborator of Justice Reggino Friday was also the testimony of the journalist of the Corriere della Sera Bruno Tucci, but also this deposition has been postponed, while the trial will resume next 5 April.

What does the government do with the houses and villas of the mafiosi after they are seized? I have seen some pictures of houses formerly belonging to Camorra mobsters and they are mansions. I’m sure they could afford some of the nicest Beverly Hills mansions. Do the Ndrangheta members live lavishly at all or are they all generally low key?

I answered to this question to you more than 3 times lol

After their property is seized,sometimes government converts them to something else like school,kindergarten etc... But mostly their property is going on public auction,since everyone know who it belonged to, ordinary people are too afraid to buy it,so it gets bought by his relatives/people close to him , and its back in hands of organized crime again
