Italian Mob Bust
The NYT reports today that the 'ndrangheta' (coming from Greek word for "heroism" and "virtue") crime ring has been busted by Italian authorities, citing over 300 arrests. According to this breaking report, this crime syndicate is more powerful than the Sicilian Mafia and reaches into Germany and surrounding countries. The ndrangheta is based out of Calabria in Southern Italy. Arrested were businessmen ("" of course) and state health officials. Arrests were made in Lombardy, and the economic center for this gang is Milan. The primary business ventures of this gang include cocaine and weapons smuggling.
