The Calabrian Mafia, also known as the Ndrangheta, is a powerful organized crime group originating from the Calabria region in southern Italy. It is involved in various illegal activities, including drug trafficking, extortion, and money laundering. The Ndrangheta operates both locally and internationally, with connections to criminal networks across Europe and beyond. Unlike other Italian mafias, the Ndrangheta is known for its secretive nature and strong family ties, often relying on blood relations to maintain loyalty and silence. Its influence has grown significantly over the years, making it one of the most formidable criminal organizations in the world.
