The Ndrangheta is a powerful organized crime group based in Calabria, Italy. It is known for its involvement in various illegal activities, including drug trafficking, extortion, and money laundering. The group operates both locally and internationally, with connections in Europe, North America, and beyond. Unlike other Italian mafias, the Ndrangheta relies heavily on family ties and a strict code of silence, known as omertà. This structure makes it difficult for law enforcement to infiltrate and dismantle the organization. Over the years, the Ndrangheta has become one of the most influential criminal organizations in the world.
