The head of the Ndrangheta was Antonio Pelle or not?


Antonio Pelle gambazza was the most important boss for many decades. He was the patriarch of the San Luca locale and the 'Ndrangheta capo crimine. He reached the rank of vangelo, at the time the highest rank in the organisation.

The Nirta's on the other hand were formed by the brothers Giuseppe , Antonio , Francesco, Sebastiano and Domenico Nirta, maybe even more powerful 'ndrina very close to the Corleonesi.

The Nirta's did lose two important leaders.
On 24 January 2013 , the son-in-law of Giuseppe Nirta , Vincenzo Femia , was killed in Rome .
On 7 June 2017 Giuseppe Nirta, 52 years old son of the late boss Sebastiano, is killed. The murder took place in Spain, in the Murcia region.
