Italian mob open to gay members, as long as they don’t ‘parade it in public’

https://nypost.com/2019/12/07/itali...s-long-as-they-dont-parade-it-in-public/

In Holland we now do have a new police team who only work on the Italian mafias, but it consists of very few people. Working closely with the Italians and Interpol they have made some progress though.

helllll yeah !!!!!!! 100% !!!

Thanks guys.



Italian cops also want Melbourne mafia boss Frank Madafferi deported from Australia.

^ that’ll be a though one. Australian authorities have proven to be extremely stubborn.

The Brescia anti-mafia district attorney has registered 27 people in the register of suspects in an investigation parallel to that of Reggio Calabria, which in recent weeks had led to the arrest of 40 people linked to the Bellocco clan.
According to the Giornale di Brescia under investigation, entrepreneurs, nominees and economic consultants between Brescia and Mantua ended up being challenged "for having favored the mafia clan". Some of the involved would have had direct relations with the members of the Bellocco clan among the most powerful of the 'Ndrangheta. In recent days, the Brescia public prosecutor's offices have been ordered house searches which have led to the seizure of material now being examined by the investigators.

Is the Ndrangheta getting stronger or weaker as time goes on? They have gotten so much publicity over the past few years.

Operations against the Trapasso and Mannolo in Crotone and Umbria, in the north: 27 arrests, and an operation against four top leaders and members of the Commisso of Siderno: those arrested include Cosimo Commisso, also known as "the quail" released in January. He was under house arrest in the Umbrian capital Perugia.

Cosimo Commisso, of Siderno, 69; Francesco Commisso of Locri, 36 ; Antonio Rodà of Bianco, 65; Giuseppe Minnici, of Caraffa del Bianco, 69.

Do you know what they were arrested for?

The alleged crimes are, for various reasons, of mafia association, association aimed at drug trafficking, detention and concealment of clandestine weapons, threats, private violence, criminal association aimed at consuming a series of accounting or economic crimes financial instrumental to the systematic implementation of fraud against the banking system. The central figure is that of Cosimo Commisso, alias «U guagghia», released from prison last January. He was to manage the affairs of the mafia organization in Umbria, becoming a real point of reference not only for the gangs, but also for professionals and citizens who turned to the Calabrian mafia to overcome problems.

Among the finished reports at the center of the investigations, also those with Giuseppe Minnici, a reference businessman for the organization, especially in Umbria. The investigation started precisely from the monitoring of Commisso, who moved to Perugia in 2015 after a long detention, and from the constant coordination between the three proxies and the three mobile teams involved.

The business would be managed thanks to Commisso's relations with Antonio Rodà, entrepreneurial referent in Umbria of the Crupi family. The 'ndrangheta bought in Umbria land to be used for vineyards for the production of wine to be marketed in Canada and, in the meantime, it was committed to find tricks that could prevent the seizure of goods. The Commissioner himself would have maintained constant contacts with the representatives of the Crotone gangs who ended up in the investigation, planning joint business initiatives.

Thanks, I was curious regarding Canada, specifically GTA. But guys like this are international, I have heard maybe you can help. That the Commisso was in Hamilton very early in its development, as well as Detroit. Also that that business never has ever ended, and is one of many wicks in that fire. They got hit hard in the arrest in the Woodbridge not that long ago.

As well as war with WolfPack over tow trucks or something, with family members murdered.

Not weaker, more international for example they hardly "invest" their illegal possessions in Italy now because the probability of confiscation is quite high. The dirty money is taken to other countries.

It's just Woodbridge bro not the Woodbridge lol

Sorry, my English as a second language is showing, haha. I will fix that moving forward. I do the same with the Facebook and the Google.

The shocking report by the prosecutor Valerio Longi: conditioned the last elections of 2018, contacts of the clans with the last three former presidents. Governor Fosson disputed the exchange vote


The ‘ndrangheta has conditioned the regional elections of 2018 in Valle d’Aosta. To say the prosecutor Valerio Longi of the Dda of Turin, holder of the investigation «Egomnia». In the 243 pages of an annotation produced in another trial on the mafia infiltrations at the foot of Mont Blanc (the operation Gehenna that last January led to 17 arrests including that of a regional councilor) describes the strategy of the mafia association, headed by brothers Marco and Roberto Di Donato, who supported some candidates of the autonomous forces in order to "enjoy a debt of gratitude" and "to have a greater number of faithful councilors in the regional assembly". The current president of the Region, Antonio Fosson, is under investigation for mafia political electoral exchange. In addition to this, the regional councilors Laurent Vie'rin (tourism and cultural heritage), former president of the Region, and Stefano Borrello (public works) and the regional councilor Luca Bianchi have also received a guarantee notice.

Oh didn't know I thought you were american

Dia coordinated the arrest in France of Domenico Stanganelli, a fugitive since 2014 and recipient of a European arrest warrant for mafia-type association, smuggling, money laundering, port and illegal possession of weapons in the context of a investigation that hit the Molè from Gioia Tauro and Mancuso from Nicotera. Stanganelli was arrested at the home of his in-laws in Vallauris, on the Côte d'Azur, thanks to the cooperation between Dia and the Judicial Police of Marseille and Nice.

I live in America currently, my English is very good. Been speaking it for the majority of my life. Sometimes I type like I or others would talk, this will help moving forward. I didn’t notice, haha, and of all the places.

Anti-'Ndrangheta operation in Cosenza, police arrested 18 members of two clans based in the city led by the bosses Roberto Porcaro and Luigi Abbruzzese, on charges of mafia-type association, murder, drug trafficking, extortion, arson and illegal possession of weapons.
Roberto Porcaro for the 'traditional Ndrangheta, the so-called "Italians" and the brothers Luigi, Marco, Nicola and Francesco Abbruzzese for nomadic crime, the so-called "gypsies".
The disputed crime is that of Luca Bruni which took place on January 3, 2012 in Rende; the victim was "regent" of the homonymous clan
Roberto Porcaro, in recent days, had been acquitted on appeal by the accusation of having concurred in the role of principal in the Bruni murder.
The confederate gangs, the "Italians" and the other "gypsies" had a common fund, the so-called "basin" into which the proceeds of drug trafficking and extortion activities flowed. Roberto Porcaro would have assumed the role of "leader" of the Italians after the final sentence to life imprisonment of the most significant elements of the Ndrangheta of Cosenza.

holla how many members the are in a normal clan ?
like the biggest one is the piromelli right ? they around 200 soldiers right ?
most of the clans i assume are somewhere between 20 - 50 guys right ?

The families differ some relatively small others very big, but you also have to know they form a locale, the main local organizational unit of the 'Ndrangheta with jurisdiction over criminal activities in an entire town or an area in a large urban center. A locale is usually made up by one clan (in the case of a small town) or several families.
Each locale has a boss, a capo locale. It has at least 49 members and besides the capo locale, there is the contabile (accountant) who handles the finances - commonly called la bacinella or la valigetta (briefcase) - and a crimine that oversees the illegal activity. All three form a triumvirate called the Copiata.

wow these guys are so organized that's insane !
thanks buddy !!!

Yeah and plenty of corruption. Francesco Madafferi fled Oppido Mamertina in 1989 to escape serious criminal charges related to violent Mafia and drug activity. When Australian police found out he was hiding out in Melbourne they sought his deportation in the early 2000s, Frank's brother, Tony Madafferi, launched a political donations and lobbying campaign to get his brother a visa.

In Oppido Mamertina there are the notorious families Madafferi, Polimenti, Mazzagatti, Ferraro, Gugliotta, Bonarrigo, and Lumbaca.

Are the larger families typically the richest? I have heard so much about the Maggiore, De Stefanos and Piromallis the most whenever I’ve had the conversation of what ndrangheta family is the richest or strongest. I would gather that between those 3 families alone they profit billions of dollars annually.

There is a new 'ndrangheta pentito in Vibo Valentia. Bartolomeo Arena, 43, who has decided to collaborate with the Dda of Catanzaro a few months ago and helped the Carabinieri to shed light on the shooting in Piscopio in September in which Salvatore Battaglia was killed and Giovanni Zuliani wounded.
Six precautionary measures carried out today. Bartolomeo Arena, last May, had become untraceable together with Antonio Pardea, 33, also from Vibo Valentia. The two then returned to the city. Bartolomeo Arena, close to the Lo Bianco clan of Vibo Valentia and then to the Andrea Mantella group, who also became a collaborator of justice in 2016, began to collaborate fearing for his life. His statements could lead to a true "judicial earthquake" on the city of Vibo Valentia.

'Ndrangheta, four hundred million euros confiscated from the entrepreneur Antonio Ricci (43). He worked in the virtual game world
He also ran three undercover Maltese companies. He is considered one of the 'ndrangheta's terminals in the world of online betting, but is still a free man thanks to the ruling of a Maltese court that denied extradition.

Hidden behind two trusts related to him, the investigators found current accounts, real estate in Italy and abroad, a financial portfolio of hundreds of millions of euros, plus three Maltese companies "Oia Services Limited", "Harvey Gaming Limited" (Already "Gvc New Ltd") and "Wls Limited".

All confiscated because Ricci's entire heritage is the result of illicit business, gained in the great world of gaming and online betting. A branch of business that the 'ndrangheta has been exploring for a long time and sees the most famous and ancient families of 'ndrangheta as the De Stefano-Tegano and the Pesce-Bellocco, who have found not only a gigantic washing machine of illicit capital, but also an extraordinary source of income. The system is simple and easy to hide in the web jungle, where the betting platforms certified by the National Games and Monopolies Agency are mixed with the clandestine ones.

Thanks for the continual updates Hollander

Calabria, the statue of the saint given by a clan of the 'Ndrangheta will be removed from the Municipality
