Never thought that they wouldn’t love to kill him, or that they aren’t capable of carrying it out, because of course they are. All I’m saying is that the consequences of such a major assassination in 2020 would be massively negative for anyone involved.

One of the reasons why Calabrians are well liked (crime-wise) by other organizations is their no-nonsense attitude. Make money no headlines. When you gotta be violent then be shockingly violent to scare possible rivals off, but always measure the pros and cons of your actions.

For instance, due to the Duisburg massacre you basically had two major ‘ndrine being highly investigated and eventually decapitated. Not to mention that before that massacre nobody almost knew what the ‘ Ndrangheta was. It was international news. Everything changed after that. For all ndrine not just the ones involved. The world, and especially Italy, started to focus on the Ndrangheta and address it on the public and political stage for the very first time.
