I don't know about their wealth at the time, but they were already powerful through their links with the Fascist right and secret services.


I have heard many times that the Nirta clan is the most powerful in the ndrangheta. At what point did the Nirtas, De Stefanos, Piromallis, Condellos and other powerful ndrangheta clans become just as powerful as the top Sicilian and Camorra clans?
