It is well documented that Giacomo Luppino was a ndrangheta member that immigrated to Canada in 1955 and became to a trusted Ontario lieutenant for Maggadino. Giacaomo Luppino is the grandfather to Domenico Violi jr. recently reported to be the underboss of the Buffalo family.
He is also the father-in-law of Paolo Violi. It is also documented that Paolo Violi's father Domenico Violi sr was also a ndrangheta member.
Giacomo Luppino was a member of the camera di controllo (ndrangheta board) that he established. Giacomo Luppino is proof that you can be a ndrangheta member and also be member of the mafia. The Buffalo mafia and Ontario ndrangheta have always had strong relationships for many decades.

i dont think they have so much relations anymore and the fact paolo violi sons are lcn member proof it


But the probe into the Violi sons also discovered they have a reach into Italy and other parts of Europe. To me it´s clear there are still relations.


I agree Holland.
