'Ndrangheta is one of most powerful groups in the world right now , not just the Italian OC. Thing is you can't really compare power of organized crime groups who are stationed in different countries , because Solntsevskaya Bratva is insanely powerful in Russia, in Russia the state & mafia is literally same thing , you have a lot of powerful mafia bosses who are very close to huge politicians or they even become powerful politicians themselves. While in Italy you have masonic lodges & secret services who are real power behind the mafia.
Do you think comparing the power of OC groups within their respective countries is a worked endeavor, it would there be too many variables?
For instance, is the Solntsevskaya Bratva more powerful in Russia than the Sinaloa Cartel is in Mexico? Or is that comparison somewhat pointless since the countries are so different?
