That's a good take on it. It's like Canada is the Siderno group, high command, top families. But the two NY bust look to be single family clans, looking to get a better position for themselves in the trade.
Yes what we have seen are cells mostly blood relatives, but if they have enough members in NYC they will form a locale (the main local organizational unit of the 'Ndrangheta).
Yep, that's the way it goes according to Luigi Bonaventura:
Quote:
"'ndrangheta is everywhere," the super-grass Luigi Bonaventura, said yesterday in a video interview with La Repubblica. "You only need two to three people to form a cell." Once the number of local mobsters reaches 50, the cell becomes a "locale".
