People make too many generalized statements. For example some people's opinions are based on some shitbag article they read back in 2008. I'm just saying for example. Things are always changing and evolving in the world of organized crime. We've seen organizations gain power, lose it all, only to regain it back and become more powerful than they were before, then lose it again. Nothing ever stays the same.
Would you say that the statement that the Ndrangheta is the most powerful group still rings true today then? That has been said for years now but I wonder if that is now a thing of the past as you mentioned groups are always gaining and losing power.
