I read in some articles that the Argentina dictator, Jorge Rafael Videla, was a member of the P2, but others say he was an ally but not a member. If he was a member, was he the only foreigner affiliated or were there others?

No idea, but I have seen a list with more people of the junta alleged members of the lodge. P2's relationship with Argentina was developed through Giancarlo Elia Valori. Some say he's now the leader of the (new) P2.

I read same thing,he was not the only member of P2 from Argentina:

Federico Carlos Barttfeld ambassador to Yugoslavia from 1991 to 1995,under-secretary of state in Néstor Kirchner's government, relieved of his functions in 2003 following allegations of involvement in the Dirty War.

Emilio Massera a member of the military junta led by Jorge Rafael Videla in Buenos Aires from 1976 to 1978.

José López Rega Argentinian minister of Social Welfare in Perón's government, founder of the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance ("Triple A")

Aldo Alasia

Cesar De la Vega

Raúl Alberto Lastiri President of Argentina from 13 July 1973 until 12 October 1973

Alberto Vignes minister of Argentina

Carlos Alberto Corti admiral from Argentina

I read that Ndrangheta kept Colombian hostages during deals incase the colombians doesnt deliver. I thought only the Colombians kept hostages.

Major bust against the 'ndrangheta, 50 arrests! The majority of the arrested are young, if not very young. What this survey reveals are the new manifestations through which 'ndrangheta exercises control over the territory.' Historical clanships such as the Morabito "Tiradritto" and the Palamara-Scriva, the new levers have inherited the arrogance from the old generations. Children of the Digital Age, the young bosses did not just show themselves in the streets, but also on social networks, where they did not hesitate to retire armed to the teeth as the protagonists of the TV series Gomorrah. Active in Calabria, but for months they have been noticed in the hinterland of Milan, winning the boss's grandson Giuseppe Morabito.

I have one question.. I read about El chapo and his estimated wealth at 14 billion dollars, then you have Pablo escobar who was worth about 30 billion dollars same goes for Amado carillo fuentes close to 30 billion..

Do you think their Italian counterparts have those kind of money. We "know" Ndrangheta makes more money than the cartels as a group but does the head of each clan, take like Piromalli boss for example or Nirta, Pelle, Vortari boss is worth that kind of money as individuals.

Suspected hitmen, instigators of 'Ndrangheta murder arrested
Giuseppe Canale shot dead in Reggio Calabria in 2011

Reggio Calabria, November 10 - Carabinieri police on Friday arrested six alleged members of the "Chirico-Condello" clan of Calabria's powerful 'Ndrangheta mafia in connection with the 2011 murder of Giuseppe Canale in Reggio Calabria. The suspects include the alleged killers of the member of the rival Serraino clan, both aged 20, the alleged organiser of the assassination, and the three alleged instigators. Canale, 33, was shot dead in broad daylight by two hitmen contracted by the "Chirico-Condello" clan on August 12, 2011. A passer-by was also slightly wounded in the attack.

The killers were 14 at the time.

No big bust on Ndrangheta as far as the cocaine buisness in the last couple of months, as far as i know. Used to be every bust with over a ton of coke had ndranghetas name all over it.. Maybe they have lost power or just gotten better at it?

4 days ago, 50 members of 'Ndrangheta were arrested in Calabria.

They have enough money their biggest problem is to make it clean money and invest it smart.

Yes but was it a big Cocaine bust on 1+ ton? because thats what i was said. I know they have been on the news but as far as the big cocaine shipments it hasnt for a while.

A link telling how the mexicans and the calabrians are working together and how the Calabrians do not like the mexicans violence since they prefer a low key profile and bribing their way thru instead of gunning. And thats like on of their demands if the mexicans want to work with them , not to bring the violence to Europe.

It says it has strong ties with the Zetas, so im thinking. Could it POSSIBLY be that the Zetas now dont make so much noise and seems like they have lost power only becase the Ndrangheta is learning them to keep a low profile? I dont know, it seems like a long shot, just asking for your opinions.

Good find.

The rules for doing business with the South Americans are clear, he says: "We always pay in advance, and if they don't deliver, we kill them."

In such an unfortunate case, says Antonio, a couple of nice Italian families go to South America on vacation. During the trip, the men disappear for a while and take care of the job




How believeble is this article you think?

Drug broker Giuseppe Morabito, a 49-year-old native of Reggio Calabria, was caught in Lombardy.
Morabito, near the Locride clan, was arrested in 2007 under the "Stupor Mundi" operation, coordinated by Dda reggina, being considered the top of an organization dedicated to the international "cocaine" traffic, supplied through the Netherlands and Belgium, to be deported to Piedmont and Lombardy.

Also, ten thousand million euros worth of assets were seized.


10 billion dollar.. Wonder if these kind of seizure brings down the Pesce clan to its knees or does it keep going on like always.

My bad it was 10 million dollars..
