A 46-year-old meat merchant was killed in an ambush in Siderno, Locride. Seven gunshots were fired at him in the head, chest and shoulders. The victim, who would have been part of the Cosca Commisso, was involved in an investigation by the DDA of Reggio Calabria. At the trial the 46-year-old was sentenced to six years imprisonment.

The killed Commisso member is Carmelo Muià.

This is pretty big, Muia was described as the "Viceroy" of the clan Commisso.
The murder has broken years of a mafia pax.

Guys, what do you think, which Ndrinas are the most Powerful and Richest from the whole Ndrangheta?

Piromalli-Molè is the most powerful 'ndrina on the Tyrrhenian coast, it has more than 200 members.

I think also the Piromalli are one of the most Powerful Ndrina. But other Clans are also very Powerful. What do you think about the San Luca Clans Pelle and the Nirta La Maggiore Scalzone?

i still don't understand their hierarchy
first they were like the camorra
and then the sicilian cosa nostra helped them and change their hierarchy to be match exactly like them
and then they improve that added a lot of bosses positions ? am i right ?

Meyer, the structure is well described in this Vice article.

thanks hollander !

The big question. Who are the current capo crimine, mastro di giornata, mastro generale, capo società and contabile?

Richest i think is the Piromalli but the San Luca ndrinas has the most power , in particular the Pelle clan, thats what i think.

The Pelle clan and the Barbaros are tight, because of the marriage Elisa Pelle and Giuseppe Barbaro in 2009 attended by 2,000 people. So San Luca and Platì are one now.

I have found two Videos. One about the Barbaro ndrina in Australia, and one about the Pelle ndrina from San Luca.

Suspected 'Regent' boss of Emilia 'Ndrangheta held
Carmine Sarcone brother of pair arrested in 2015 operation

(ANSA) - Bologna, January 23 - Carabinieri police from the northern city of Bologna on Tuesday detained Carmine Sarcone, a 39-year-old suspected of being the 'regent' boss of the Calabrian-based 'Ndrangheta mafia syndicate in the Emilia area, sources said on Tuesday.
He is suspected of mafia association.
Carmine Sarcone is the brother of Nicolino and Gianluigi Sarcone, both of whom were arrested in the 'Aemilia' operation in 2015.
Nicolino Sarcone, who has been convicted to 15 years in jail, was considered the head of the autonomous mafia organization in Emilia linked to the Grande Aracri 'Ndrangheta clan of Cutro, in Calabria. Dozens of searches were conducted on Tuesday in relation to the latest operation.

Francesco Farao, the son of the boss of the Ndrangheta Giuseppe Farao, who is in prison under the 41-bis regime, has decided to become a collaborator of justice

The repentant Antonio Valerio risked a war between them and the Casalesi clan . All because, according to what he told the magistrates, when he was an entrepreneur under the 'ndrangheta Cutro's in Emilia Romagna, he threatened to plant two bullets in the head of two members of the Casalesi clan. The latter had to receive a sort of commission on the monetization of checks for 5 million euros. The agreement provided for 15% of the total payment. The fact is, that something went wrong. Those checks were not collected for reasons of a purely bureaucratic nature. Those who had issued them were kidnapped and forced to cover with real estate registered in front of the 'ndrangheta, but no payment was made to the Casalesi. These guys returned to office on a couple of occasions to see the covenant respected, but during the last meeting they were threatened by Valerio who ordered them to leave Emilia Romagna.

So who came out with the victory? the Ndrangheta or Casalesi clan

The carabinieri arrested 33-year-old Carmine Alvaro in Palmi, sought after since 2016 because he escaped the execution of a detention order issued by the DDA of Reggio Calabria for traffic narcotics aggravated by the mafia purposes. Alvaro was surprised by the Hunters in a cottage that he used as a hiding place. The arrested is one of the nephews of the boss Carmine Alvaro, aged 65, called "U cuvertuni", considered a prominent element in the Alvaro-Macrì-Violi gang.

How is it that Ndrangheta makes more money on drugs than the Sinaloa cartel when Sinaloa supposedly controls almost all of the coke in South America?

Anyone with a thought?

You can't know who makes more money,not like they keep log of earnings for last year. Literally not very smart question to ask,since no one can answer you.

Sinaloa has seen a few splits the latest enemy is the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The 'Ndrangheta is still one organization there are internal feuds, but nothing like we see in Mexico.

im thinking they know how much they make because of the Snitches, maybe a cartel boss starts to tell and he knows how much his crew has made then they estimate from that, same goes for the Ndrangheta.Cause i believe the LE will ask "how much did u move" , then the goes to the media.

sinaloa doesn't control almost much of the coke in south america, only a part, mostly destined to the states

The Casalesi, Valerio had compromised the balance of relations between the Calabrians and the Casalesi clan.
Don't forget those guys are big, among the most powerful criminal organizations in the world with approximately 150 to 160 zone leaders and 8000-9000 associates.

International diplomacy with bated breath. Next Thursday, Donald Trump's Foreign Minister, Rex Tillerson, before a Texas oil industry expert, will list, at the University of Texas at Austin, what are the priority policies of the US administration in the Western hemisphere. A few hours later the president begins his first official visit to South America.

With this trip Trump is pointing to the consensus of the countries that will visit Tillerson in the next few days. The objective is that Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Colombia and Jamaica authorize the gesture that could bring the Venezuelan government of Nicolas Maduro to its knees: the oil embargo.

This could trigger a domino effect since Venezuela has become in recent years, territory of the international underworld, among other things the powerful Calabrian N'drine who managed the drug trade, especially cocaine, from Colombia and sorted in Venezuela to arrive in America and Europe also through the port of Gioia Tauro.

Of the tentacular relations of the Italian mafia he returned to speak a couple of days ago with the death of Aldo Micciché, Italian dealer, collector, according to him, of Italian-Venezuelan votes, but above all, according to the magistracy, sort of clan factotum Piromalli in Caracas, one of the most powerful families of the Calabrian underworld. The American Goddess instead, took interest in Franco Lauricella, another heavy name in Venezuela, accused of money laundering

Because the business of the Calabrian Ndrangheta ranges from drugs to oil with interests in PDVSA the Venezuelan state oil company. Something that could change if a green light came from the parts of Washington.





Didnt know Ndrangheta had such a heavy presence in Venezuela. The Piromalli clan particularly

[quote=Hollander][quote=doggystyle][quote=Hollander]

Yes but it says Valerio "ordered" the casalesi to leave Emilia Romagna.

Milan police arrested Edoardo Novella, a son of the boss Carmelo, killed in an ambush on July 14, 2008. Carmelo Novella had plotted to make the Lombardy region 'Ndrangheta independent from the so-called Crimine in Calabria, and for this he was brutally killed.

Edoardo, 42, still plays a prominent organizational role according to investigators.

So Italians use Albanians to bring drugs from the port of Rotterdam across Europe


The Italian mafia is there and works with small amounts of drugs and this could be the reason why we can not find them in the port or in imports of large quantities. They divide the loads of drugs into small portions and distribute them in Europe



Maybe this is why we havent seen a big Ndrangheta bust in a while, i remember not to long ago the LE was busting Ndrangheta each month with a minimum of 1 ton shipment evene 5-8 tons. Now they seem to use others like the Albanians to handle it for them , and as far as i could get it from reading this they are dividing these large shipments into smaller quantities so even if a container of 100-200kg gets busted they have 800kg passing through.
