Read what it says. I wrote "not active in drugs that way". I didnt say that there never were people in the outfit that dealt with drugs. But it was not the big organized thing it was in NYC. Or maybe you are more in the know than FBI people like Bill Romer who in the 90s stated that The Outfit had always stayed out of drugs under Accardo.

The camorra and the outfit are two completely different things. The fact that both are into white and blue collar crime and are criminal organizations does not make a perfect match. Also, Europe is something Else than the us with huge differences in culture and everyday life.
