In the 'Ndrangheta, the locali enjoy a high degree of autonomy when it comes to conducting business. But the structure of the hierarchy is not negotiable. When Carmelo Novella, the head of the Lombardy 'Ndrangheta, tried to operate independently, he was shot dead in 2008.
the same is for cosa nostra, when some members formed the so called stidda it started a war that left hundreds dead, in the states i never heard somebody formed an own family without permission of the others families it's not like crips and bloods or ms13 that can form their own group easily
