Crooked in Calabria

摘要

With a more easily pronounceable name, the 'Ndrangheta, the mafia of Calabria, Italy's toe, might have achieved greater notoriety. Police and prosecutors began warning as far back as the 1990s that it had become the country's richest, most dangerous organised-crime syndicate, ahead of Sicily's Cosa Nostra. Yet although a third group, the Camorra in and around Naples, has become infamous thanks to Roberto Saviano's best-selling book "Gomorrah", the 'Ndrangheta remains almost unknown beyond Italy.
