They call him the "Supreme" or "Uncle Luigi". Luigi Mancuso, 66, is the head of the leaders of the Vibonese 'Ndrangheta. Mancuso's “pacifist” strategy was on a collision course with the “new generation” of Vibo.
Mancuso is the boss of the bosses who - according to the prosecution - directs and organizes everything, making the most relevant decisions, "issuing orders or imposing sanctions on other associates subordinate to him, taking care of relations with the other branches of the association and the relative leaders, settling internal and external conflicts in the association he headed, commissioning or consuming extortion directly, continuing to carry out his functions as head even during detention, both within the prison , both outside ". He is the undisputed leader of the Vibonese 'Ndrangheta with solid relationships with exponents of other branches including the Reggio area, in particular with the De Stefano and Piromalli gangs, and with the “white collar” (professionals, entrepreneurs, politicians, belonging to the Freemasons).
