@Furio I was really only speaking culturally from what I’ve experienced from immigrants hailing from Sicily and Calabria here in America. Not really organized crime. Perfect analogy of how the ndrangheta was looked at however until they really rose to power. Just like the Decavalcante’s. Can you expand on the story about cosa nostra men being trapped in Narcos hands because they didn’t have enough money? Sounds interesting. They didn’t have enough money for the supply they had agreed upon?
Roberto Pannunzi was a calabrian broker that buy coke for the ndrangheta and saved a mafioso (I can't find the name) that would be killed because the sicialians doesn't had the money for pay the narcos and bagged Pannunzi to save their man.The Colombians trust the ndrangheta at the point that they sell them even huge quantity of coke without ask for an hostage.Naturally this was a shame for the sicilians.
