the overtaking of the Ndrangheta lies in the fact that it has greater control of drug trafficking and that it is more expanded nationally and internationally, Cosa Nostra was hit hard from the early 1990s and this caused a crisis, according to John Dickie a deep crisis; regarding confiscated assets in the past the laws were much more lenient and in any case the mafia bosses were very rich thanks to international heroin trafficking, contracts etc.
