'ndrangheta....It is the new media hype, when in fact it has always existed and the media and law enforcement are just catching on.
Lets however seperate the myths from reality, and for the sake of this discussion, the myths of the Canadian Clans
First and foremost, there is NO organization called 'ndrangheta, There are no leaders, there is no structure, there is no hexarchy, and they have no rules. The term is applied to loosely connected Calabrese and Barese criminals. They are not superhuman, supernatural, they are not invisible, they can not walk through walls, and they are not the boogie man. They have no institutional influence. If you notice, they had to reach out to the LCN to attempt anything significant.
The Canadian faction is a joke. It is a group of heroin addicted zips who shake down Indian bingo parlors, smuggle cigarettes and liquor into Ontario, sell Meth,and use Biker trash as their muscle.They are a pimple on Buffalo's ass, and make no mistake, from the falls to hamilton, Buffalo still controls anything that matters, and gets the lions share of the cut from the Toronto drug and gambling trades
The canadian 'ndrangheta, They are the myth that will not go away
