Ex-mafia boss' ndrangheta: 'The Netherlands in top 3 most contaminated countries'

The Netherlands is one of the most contaminated countries by the Calabrese 'ndrangheta, because of its strategic location as a transit port of drugs and the investment climate. That says former mafia leader Luigi Bonaventura in an exclusive interview in the program Criminal Circles on NPO Radio 1.

"The Netherlands is all in all a good territory for the business, for investments. There are many opportunities. It is one of the most contaminated countries. My top 3 would be: Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands ", says Luigi Bonaventura. Until 2007, he led some 200 Mafiosi in southern Italy for the 'Ndrangheta'. Then he became a spontaneously, and crown-witness in dozens of anti-mafia cases. His testimonies contribute to the arrest and / or conviction of at least 500 criminals.

The port of Rotterdam is of strategic importance. Bonaventura, as a mafia boss, led criminals who organized the drug route through the Netherlands for him. "I want to emphasize that nobody can let cocaine arrive in containers in Rotterdam, without contacts on the spot. That is impossible. You can only do something where you have confidants, who sometimes belong to multiple organizations and who allow the arrival, unloading and sorting of the product. "

"When you talk about the 'ndrangheta' in Europe, then Germany is the most important country, which we can now call her second homeland. We also have to take their presence in Eastern Europe very seriously, "says Bonaventura.
