According to one expert, the fact that they had to resort to old Mineo exposes a generational problem in Cosa Nostra "The average age of its members (many left the jails in recent years) is much higher than that of the 'Ndrangheta or the Camorra. It remains to be seen if there are any young people capable now of taking the reins."
according to who? lol in the latests years there had been tons of mafia indictments with tons of young people, even more than ndrangheta also ndrangheta is limited to the fact the members are all related and from the same blood family, cosa nostra has a much higher recruitment pool the average age of the bosses is higher because it's a vertical structure, the ndrangheta boss of bosses oppedisano was 80 years old too camorra bosses for example are younger because they have a horizontal structure and a more fluid organization
