Do the Ndrangheta or the Italian mafia whatsoever have the same political influence in Italy like the Russian mafia has in Russia? I dont know how it is but i think the Russians has more power of the state or am i wrong? I know in Kosovo and Albania the mafia has complete control of the state, there the Prime ministers and presidents ARE the mafia, they are involved in drugs and shit but most of allt extortion and stealing the Funds they recieve.
i tihink italian mafia in italy is more entrenched with politics than even russia, but they are different things
in russia putin is a sort of dictatorship, he wouldn't let the russian mafia controls everythings like in italy, the men realy powerful in russia are only the oligarcs linked to putin
in italy is more complex, the most powerful are members of masonic lodges, who can be often both politicians, mafia members and businessman at the same time
