PORTRAIT. 80% percent of imported cocaine in Europe is the work of the Italian ‘ndrangheta, the most powerful crime organization in the world

When you say Italian mafia, you think Sicily. But it is no longer the Sicilian Cosa Nostra that rules the roost as the most powerful crime organization. The organization ‘ndrangheta from Calabria imports 80 percent of the cocaine in Europe and thus has more drugs, money and secrets. Wherever the tentacles of the organization reach – the police arrested 13 members in Belgium in a large-scale operation – you will find a lot of money and even more violence. “They threw his severed head for target practice.”
