Let’s say the most powerful clans are the Pesce or Piromali clans. How much of their business do you all believe is legitimate income that they can report? They clearly make a huge chunk from drug trafficking. But what else do they have going?
They make tons of money from legitimate business practices. They are in a way more powerful than the legitimate state.
Would individual clans ever even consider going legitimate once they get to a certain level of wealth and power? Or is that impossible because they are known drug traffickers?
I think that would be their ultimate goal, they want their sons to be professionals, lawyers, accountants, bankers etc...but in the end the 'ndrangheta as well as cosa nostra will always be a cult of death.
