We Live In Their Buildings, Work In Their Companies, Shop In Their Stores, Eat In Their Restaurants And Elect Politicians They Fund. Founded More Than 150 Years Ago By Shepherding Families In The Toe Of Italy, The 'ndrangheta Is Today The World's Most Powerful Mafia, With A Crushing Presence In Southern Italy, A Market-moving Size In Global Finance And A Reach That Extends To Fifty Countries Around The World.
