They were powerful but nothing major, it was mostly Sicilian Mafia and some Camorra clans back then. The money they got from kidnappings & later drugs was when they got power. Also the state was heavily focused on Sicilian mafia


You’re right, there were some Camorra clans that were as rich and powerful as some of the top Sicilian clans but as a whole they weren’t.
