Il magistrato Nicola Gratteri, da sempre in prima linea nella lotta per la legalità, e il giornalista Antonio Nicaso raccontano la realtà della più potente holding criminale del mondo. Dal santuario di Polsi, dove ogni anno si riuniscono i vertici delle cosche, al Porto di Gioia Tauro, il principale punto di accesso del traffico di cocaina nel Mediterraneo, fino all'Aspromonte e ai comuni della Locride insanguinati dalle faide e dove l'omertà è legge.

00:00:00January 15, 1993.
00:00:03Totò Riina is arrested in Palermo.
00:00:07A few months later the bombs in Florence, Rome and Milan
00:00:11they conclude the Cosa Nostra season of massacres.
00:00:15While the attention of the whole country is focused on Sicily,
00:00:18another reality is working under the radar and away from the media hype.
00:00:25It was in those months that the Andrangheta developed a strategy
00:00:29which in a few years will lead it to become
00:00:32the most powerful criminal holding company in the world.
00:00:37Pervasive, globalized, endowed with immeasurable wealth,
00:00:41Today the Calabrian mafia dominates the cocaine market
00:00:44and dialogues on equal terms with the most important criminal organizations.
00:00:49It moves rivers of money, infiltrates the legal economy,
00:00:52find new interlocutors every day
00:00:54both in the financial and political worlds.
00:00:57From Calabria it spread throughout Italy.
00:01:01It has established itself permanently in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
00:01:07It has established bases in Canada, South Africa, the United States, Australia, Argentina and Brazil.
00:01:12More than 50 billion euros in annual turnover.
00:01:15The fourth largest Italian company by turnover.
00:01:19This is the Andrangheta we want to tell you about.
00:01:55The fourth largest Italian company by turnover.
00:02:03Don't worry.
00:02:17The world is an agent of the island,
00:02:21This is an island agent,
00:02:34We are in Polsi, the sanctuary of the Madonna della Montagna, somewhat considered the Bethlehem of the Andrangheta.
00:02:43It all began at the end of the nineteenth century, at the time of the bandit Musolino.
00:02:50There was a friar in this monastery, his name was Fra Domenico, born Gaetano Calabrese, known as Zavurro.
00:02:58He was the cousin of two members of the picciotteria, a sort of early Andrangheta.
00:03:03And so they began to gather here, to conceive the idea of an Andrangheta that was one and only one.
00:03:12Yes, in fact many didn't believe that here in Polsi, in front of the sanctuary, the appointments of the leaders were ratified.
00:03:22And I accepted the challenge. With the Carabinieri, we planted bugs and cameras right here in front of the sanctuary.
00:03:30And we managed to demonstrate, we managed to document, to film, to hear the ratification of the appointment of the crime boss,
00:03:40Opedisano Domenico, on the very day of the feast of the Madonna, September 2, 2009.
00:03:48I had read it four years earlier, and everyone else, but it's still a bit of his whole Gospel.
00:03:54A Gospel, I who office, before this, because we went here on Pasquale Nappo,
00:03:59There is Pasquale Nappo, Pasquale Nappo they carried and saved us.
00:04:02Then I loaded all the waste, we invited one from the town, the Arrigio, the Aionica.
00:04:16The three mafia districts of the province of Reggio Calabria meet at the annual Polsi crime meeting.
00:04:24The Ionian, the Tyrrhenian and the Reggio Città districts,
00:04:29representing the so-called locals, the territorial branches of the Andrangheta,
00:04:35present not only in the rest of Calabria, but also throughout Italy and the world.
00:04:40The individual nbrine in turn refer to the premises,
00:04:44essentially founded on blood families, the true protective shield of the Andrangheta.
00:04:54Throughout my childhood my grandfather made me eat chili peppers straight from the plant,
00:04:59to show him that I was more masculine, you know?
00:05:02I remembered it right after I blew out my 18 candles.
00:05:06And then after a few days my grandfather would always bring me another batch of mashumiko.
00:05:10He told Nino, come, come, your moment has come.
00:05:14He made me wait around Nuo Tavolo, where all the men of honor of the town were already seated.
00:05:20It was Easter Monday.
00:05:22I swear by Saint Michael the Archangel and by the honorable society formed by the circle.
00:05:27From now on, you are my family, I will always be faithful.
00:05:31Only death can take me away.
00:05:33I submit to you for stains of honor, tragedies or infamy,
00:05:36at my expense or at the expense of the entire company.
00:05:39If I make a mistake, I will be punished by death.
00:05:42Well, I was finally someone.
00:05:44I had become a man.
00:05:47A man of honor.
00:06:02We are in San Luca, in the Locride area, a few kilometers from the Polsi sanctuary.
00:06:07Yes, it is a country that has been the protagonist of dozens of kidnappings,
00:06:12also known for having given birth to four large Andrangheta families,
00:06:18the Nirta, Strangio and the Pellevottari,
00:06:19who were protagonists of a bloody war.
00:06:29It wasn't always this way.
00:06:31In 1973 the Andrangheta was still considered a bizarre curiosity,
00:06:38a linguistic invention, a ragged, almost home-made mafia,
00:06:44a second-rate mafia compared to Cosa Nostra, which dominated at the time.
00:06:48And instead to unjustly transform this land, Calabria,
00:06:53in a place of bandits, nested on the plains of Steccato, of Zervo,
00:06:57on the cliffs of Platì, of San Luca, in no man's land,
00:07:00of Piminoro, of Oppido Mamertina, of Castellace,
00:07:03it was a kidnapping.
00:07:07Rome, 3.30 am, July 10, 1973.
00:07:14Paul Ghetti III, 16, grandson of American oilman Jean Paul Ghetti,
00:07:20he was kidnapped on the street in the alleys behind Piazza Farnese.
00:07:24Not everyone seems to believe it was a kidnapping.
00:07:29Paul Ghetti is a restless young man who spends his days
00:07:32between Trastevere and Campo dei Fiori,
00:07:35frequenting the hippie circles of the capital.
00:07:39Some hypothesize a staging organized by Ghetti himself
00:07:43to get their hands on part of the family fortune.
00:07:48The kidnapping trail is being pursued
00:07:52only a few days later
00:07:54after the kidnappers showed up with the family.
00:08:00July 12, Ghelle Harris, Paul's mother, alerts the police.
00:08:05Can you tell us more, madam, about this contact?
00:08:07No, I can't say anything,
00:08:09unless we want to through the press
00:08:12to say that we are ready to negotiate with the family.
00:08:16The ransom amount demanded is exorbitant.
00:08:2117 million dollars.
00:08:23But the inflexible and very rich grandfather, founder of the Ghetti Oil Company,
00:08:28he refuses to pay.
00:08:29I have 14 grandchildren and if I pay even a penny they will end up kidnapping them all.
00:08:34he declares to the newspapers.
00:08:37If after this letter, Paul writes, I don't hear something good,
00:08:41I will resign myself to death at only 17 years old.
00:08:44The richest man in the world, famous for his greed,
00:08:48will give up four months later,
00:08:50when the nephew's severed ear and some photographs
00:08:54they are sent to the daily messenger.
00:09:01On December 17, after five months of captivity
00:09:05and the payment of one billion seven hundred million lire,
00:09:09Paul Ghetti III is released.
00:09:36After five months and a severed ear,
00:09:39the young Paul Ghetti, then sixteen years old,
00:09:42it is released not in these parts,
00:09:45but in Basilicata, in Lago Negro,
00:09:48far from what would become the tortuga of anonymous kidnappings.
00:09:54That kidnapping went around the world
00:09:58and for the first time American newspapers,
00:10:01newspapers from all over the world,
00:10:03they began to become acquainted with this criminal organization
00:10:08with an unpronounceable name.
00:10:10It was the first time that the 'Ndrangheta went beyond national borders.
00:10:14and it ended up on the front pages of newspapers around the world.
00:10:16Yes, kidnappings were big business for the 'Ndrangheta,
00:10:21born and invented, we can say, by the 'ndrangheta of the Gioia Tauro plain,
00:10:25but then the Ionica 'ndrangheta specialized.
00:10:28In the triangle, here as Platisse and Luca Natile,
00:10:31We have had several, dozens of kidnapped people held here in these mountains.
00:10:49From the media point of view and also from the point of view of historians and scholars
00:10:54they were concerned with highlighting the ferocity, the crudeness.
00:11:00In reality they had to focus on professionalism,
00:11:05on this perfect machine that you managed to organize.
00:11:08That is, dozens of people were kidnapped in Lombardy and Piedmont
00:11:11they were brought to Calabria,
00:11:12they crossed the country without ever being intercepted.
00:11:20In less than 30 years, kidnappings in Italy
00:11:23they bring in over 800 billion lire.
00:11:26More than half of it ends up in the coffers of the 'ndrangheta,
00:11:30over 400 billion.
00:11:38The victims of the anonymous kidnappings will ultimately be 694.
00:11:44The peak, 75 kidnappings, was recorded in 1977,
00:11:49A crucial year for the formation of construction companies linked to the 'Ndrangheta.
00:11:55The seizures carried out in Calabria are 128,
00:11:59but the most affected region is Lombardy,
00:12:01with 158 kidnappings in the thirty-year period from 69 to 97.
00:12:07A significant portion of the seizures were carried out in the regions of northern Italy
00:12:11it is attributed to the 'ndrangheta,
00:12:13which in those years managed to build real operational enclaves
00:12:17in the heart of the industrial triangle.
00:12:28The kidnapped are often very young,
00:12:30sometimes they're just kids.
00:12:36Marco Fiora, kidnapped on March 2, 1987 in Turin,
00:12:40he's only 7 years old.
00:12:42He remains chained to the cot in his hideout in Calabria.
00:12:45for 517 days without ever being able to move,
00:12:49to change, to wash.
00:12:53Cesare Casella, kidnapped in Pavia on 18 January 1988,
00:12:57he is 19 years old.
00:13:00He remained a prisoner of his captors for 743 days.
00:13:07Carlo Celadon, kidnapped on January 25, 1988
00:13:11in the family villa on the hills of Arsignano,
00:13:14he is 18 years old.
00:13:17He was freed in Aspromonte after 831 days.
00:13:22His will be the longest kidnapping ever to take place in Italy.
00:13:25I feel empty.
00:13:28Psychologically I'm really destroyed.
00:13:35In 1976 the authorities disposed for the first time
00:13:38the freezing of the assets of the family of a kidnapped person,
00:13:41measure that became law in 1991,
00:13:44making it increasingly difficult to pay ransoms.
00:13:48It is therefore the freezing of assets
00:13:49and the ever-increasing pressure from the police
00:13:52to put an end to the so-called
00:13:54kidnapping emergency.
00:14:07We are on the Aspromonte.
00:14:09The hostages of the anonymous kidnapping were kept here
00:14:12in a cloak of silence that enveloped the entire territory.
00:14:16Yes, because kidnappings have been a national problem,
00:14:20but above all the kidnappings made in the north,
00:14:24in Lombardy, in Piedmont,
00:14:26they were on the front pages of national newspapers.
00:14:30So pressure was applied from the center,
00:14:33they were putting pressure on the Ministry of the Interior
00:14:34and they sent for this
00:14:36a thousand men of the State Police.
00:14:39They created the Napsi, the nucleating seizures,
00:14:41the carabinieri sent another thousand,
00:14:43there was the army.
00:14:44But despite this
00:14:46it was not possible to free the kidnapped people
00:14:48because there was no time,
00:14:52the patience to investigate,
00:14:54to do investigations.
00:14:55Roundups were carried out
00:14:56like English fox hunting.
00:14:58The money from the kidnappings
00:14:59they are partly invested in construction
00:15:02and a new big business is created.
00:15:05The gangs are focusing attention
00:15:07on this rain of billions
00:15:09which is about to pour into Calabria.
00:15:16July 14, 1970
00:15:20It explodes in Reggio Calabria
00:15:22a violent popular uprising
00:15:24destined to last for months.
00:15:26With the establishment of the Calabria Region body
00:15:29a heated debate had begun
00:15:31on the choice of the capital.
00:15:33The decision to indicate Catanzaro
00:15:35instead of Reggio
00:15:36and to call you to the first meeting
00:15:38of the Regional Council
00:15:39after the elections of June 7
00:15:41causes the city to revolt.
00:15:44It's the straw that breaks the camel's back
00:15:46after decades of discontent
00:15:48in a city where there are still people living
00:15:50in the shacks built
00:15:51after the 1908 earthquake.
00:15:55These are dramatic weeks.
00:15:57punctuated by violent street clashes.
00:16:01In a climate of great tension
00:16:02July 22nd
00:16:03a bomb derails
00:16:05the Palermo-Turin train.
00:16:07The death toll is 6
00:16:09the 54 injured.
00:16:15The city is under siege.
00:16:21Seven months later
00:16:22the Prime Minister,
00:16:23Emilio Colombo,
00:16:24announces the allocation
00:16:26of over 2,000 billion lire
00:16:27for construction and expansion
00:16:29of industrial sites in the region.
00:16:35It is also approved
00:16:37the so-called Reggio decree,
00:16:39other funds for potential
00:16:41city development.
00:16:43In Gioia Tauro
00:16:441.3 trillion are earmarked
00:16:47to give life to the fifth center
00:16:49national steelworks
00:16:50which will have to provide work
00:16:51to over 10,000 people.
00:16:54The new course of the 'Ndrangheta
00:16:56coincides with the so-called
00:16:58Colombo package,
00:16:59an unmissable opportunity
00:17:00to get your hands on
00:17:01on public works.
00:17:03But to get contracts
00:17:05and subcontracts
00:17:06resources are needed,
00:17:07trucks, mechanical shovels.
00:17:08The proceeds of the kidnappings
00:17:10they will serve this purpose,
00:17:11to finance the new business.
00:17:16It's Don Mommo Piromalli,
00:17:19the powerful boss
00:17:20of the Gioia Tauro plain,
00:17:22to get the jobs
00:17:22of excavation of the area
00:17:24destined for the steel center.
00:17:26Other clans control
00:17:28the works of the motorway
00:17:29and the Salerno-Reggio Calabria road.
00:17:33Works that proceed very slowly
00:17:35between waste and delays,
00:17:37while the center,
00:17:39sunk by the crisis
00:17:40of the steel industry,
00:17:41he will never see life.
00:17:44The port of Gioia Tauro,
00:17:46designed to serve
00:17:47the industrial hub,
00:17:49will reveal itself years later
00:17:50very useful
00:17:51for the 'Ndrangheta's trafficking.
00:17:56In addition to the steel center,
00:17:58construction is also planned
00:18:00of liquichemistry
00:18:01of Ionian salt marshes,
00:18:04production plant
00:18:05of synthetic bioproteins.
00:18:10Open
00:18:11it is closed immediately.
00:18:18half companion,
00:18:21half cheerfully,
00:18:30half companion,
00:18:36half in half,
00:18:39half to you,
00:18:43half by half.
00:18:48This is one of the legacies
00:18:50of those years,
00:18:50one of the many cathedrals
00:18:52in the desert,
00:18:53liquid chemistry
00:18:54of Ionian salt marshes.
00:18:56Two kilometers of coast
00:18:58swept away, there was a bergamot, to build a plant that would produce substances
00:19:06carcinogenic, a total waste. Calabria should have started from history and geography
00:19:12to relaunch itself and instead created an industry that served no purpose.
00:19:18But it only served to fatten the 'ndrangheta, with that money they started to import
00:19:24Heroin from Lebanon, smuggled in with boats, fishing boats here in this little port.
00:19:30And then that heroin was brought to northern Italy, to Rome and began to invade
00:19:36the market.
00:19:51And then the money arrived, but a lot of it, you know, you know. It was state money for the roads.
00:19:57of the ports. And so we became entrepreneurs, but because it was easy to build. You didn't have to
00:20:03ask anyone anything. There was a ruined villa, but old, completely abandoned.
00:20:09It was a bad place. We demolished it. Then we built many buildings around the land,
00:20:15all three-story, for the family. The first floor is for one, the second for the children, the third for the
00:20:19grandchildren. Let's put it on the beams, I said, then we'll see. But we've never seen the facade.
00:20:25done, but why do they have to think that we are poor crazy people, you understand? And you never
00:20:29They do the math. But inside it was all marble. And then we leveled everything in front. Let's do it.
00:20:36nice parking lots.
00:21:05We're in Reggio Calabria. Here, in the 1970s, the Andrangheta's first major transformation took place.
00:21:12The Santa is created, an enclave to be able to enter the grey area, to be able to enter
00:21:19in contact with entrepreneurs, politicians, and deviant elements of the institutions.
00:21:27Antonio Macri is the powerful boss of the Siderno gang, which rules over the whole Locride area
00:21:32and is allied with the Sicilian Cosa Nostra. She's an old-fashioned, saintly mother, against
00:21:38to kidnappings, because, he says, they attract the cops, but also to enter into relationships with the world
00:21:43of politics. Mico Tripodo, boss of San Batello, D'Anello's friend, thinks the same way.
00:21:50of Totorrina. But the bosses of Reggio and the Gioia Tauro plain think differently.
00:21:59The first Andrangheta war thus broke out, due to disagreements over strategies. On November 24th
00:22:06In 1974, a commando of Tripodo's killers raided the Roof Garden, a trendy club in Reggio.
00:22:14Giovanni De Stefano dies and his brother Giorgio is injured. It is precisely the clan of
00:22:20De Stefano is the one who threw down the gauntlet. Macri is trying to avoid escalating the conflict.
00:22:28He meets De Stefano and Piromalli, but it's all in vain. Less than two months later they kill him in the
00:22:36His Siderno while playing bocce. It's the beginning of a massacre marked by over 200
00:22:48Murders. In 1976, Don Mico Tripodo also died. He was stabbed to death by Raffaele's Camorristi.
00:22:56Cutolo in Poggio Reale prison. A courtesy the Ottaviano boss owes to his new inmates.
00:23:02Calabrian allies.
00:23:08After the first Mafia war, the Santa was born. And the watershed between the old and the new
00:23:13Andrangheta. The Saint allows dual affiliation: being part of the Andrangheta and a deviant Mason.
00:23:19So it means having contacts with public administration executives, having contacts
00:23:25with magistrates, with law enforcement, with politicians. And thus the power of the Andrangheta
00:23:34becomes excessive. It means sitting at the table, sitting in the control room and deciding not
00:23:41who should win the contract, but who should build the work and whether the work should be built at all
00:23:45or not, participate in the co-management of public affairs.
00:23:49Yes, and in a certain sense you are also given the opportunity to take actions. There is
00:23:57the possibility of selling small pieces of Andrangheta to obtain favors.
00:24:05And then strange things started to happen with the guards. For example, Mico appears, he...
00:24:10They sold him to the cops, it is said to keep a magistrate who was their friend happy. But
00:24:17anyway, friend Mico didn't matter at all, I mean, he doesn't do any harm to the prisons. Only
00:24:21that he didn't take it well, then when he realized that he had been sold to the cops
00:24:24He started to sing it to himself, really. And then we got him to talk to his wife.
00:24:29that convinced him to let it go. But if you think that my sister wanted to get engaged
00:24:35with someone we didn't know well, they made him disappear. They couldn't mourn him.
00:24:40Not even at the cemetery. But because he's the distant nephew of a cop who lives in the capital.
00:24:45said my father. And then my father took my sister who had almost gone mad
00:24:50to a clinic, but my father loved my sister because she was always the one who behaved
00:24:55in a strange way. Then we had the money to treat her. Only my sister from the clinic
00:25:01She never went out. She's beautiful. The clinic, I mean, five floors in front of Umara, but really
00:25:09you can touch the sea with your hand.
00:25:19The presence of the 'Ndrangheta began to be felt in the post-unification period. We are in 1869 in Reggio,
00:25:27The City Council is being voted on. On one side is the Bourbon clerical movement.
00:25:35Led by a doctor, Paviglianiti announced. On the other hand, the Masonic right-wing Cavurians
00:25:42tied to the landowner. The general planning scheme must be adopted. He's about to win.
00:25:49the clerical Bourbon movement on that occasion? When the right-wing Cavour soldiers the sect of the
00:25:55stabbers. They defaced the doctor Paviglianiti, threatened the electors, and then determined
00:26:04The outcome of the electoral contest. The great stick hired by the liberal right-wing Cavour party
00:26:13Masonic is Francesco De Stefano. I was thinking that after more than a century we are still here in Reggio
00:26:20Talking about the De Stefano family. When Paolo De Stefano started the Second World War
00:26:25of the mafia, this time not because of a problem with the structure of the Andrangheta, as a rule of the Andrangheta,
00:26:32But it's all about power, about money. There's talk of building the bridge over the Strait of Messina.
00:26:40It needs to expand northwards, towards Villa San Giovanni. So there it has to demolish
00:26:46the Merti family, which controls that territory. Reggio Calabria and its province return
00:26:59to sink into terror in 1985. It is October 10th, Friday. The boss Nino Imerti is
00:27:10In Villa San Giovanni, at the wheel of his car, a remote-controlled car bomb exploded.
00:27:16as he passes by. Merti, also known as the ferocious dwarf, is saved thanks to his armored car.
00:27:26Instead, his bodyguards die. Thus begins the second Andrangheta war.
00:27:34The instigator of the attack is believed to be mafia boss Paolo De Stefano. Revenge is immediate.
00:27:46Sunday afternoon. De Stefano, a longtime fugitive, was on his motorcycle in the heart of the neighborhood.
00:27:52of Archi, his kingdom. He is killed by rifle shots. The Reggio Calabria 'Ndrangheta splits.
00:28:01in two sections. On one side the De Stefanos, on the other the Imertis. The other Endrines must
00:28:08Choose a side. And the mafia war will soon spread throughout the province.
00:28:13and the rest of Italy. At the center of the conflict is control of the city. The new contracts
00:28:20billionaires envisaged by the so-called Reggio decree. The Messina Strait bridge project.
00:28:25and drug trafficking. The former president of the railways of the
00:28:33State, Lodovico Ligato. A very powerful Serie C player because he was considered too close to De Stefano.
00:28:42On August 9, 1991, magistrate Antonino Scopelliti was killed. A murder that sealed the deal.
00:28:50the collaboration pact between the Andrangheta and the Sicilian Mafia. Shortly thereafter, Scopelliti
00:28:57he was supposed to represent the prosecution in the Supreme Court of Cassation at the Palermo maxi-trial against Cosa Nostra.
00:29:09The war is extremely hard on both sides. In the end, the dead will number over 800.
00:29:17A truce is needed. Negotiations will be complex and will require the intervention of Cosa's bosses.
00:29:24Ours and that of the Calabrian leaders operating abroad. In the end, an agreement was reached that included
00:29:30a division of the territory and a division of affairs. A directory of
00:29:37clan that has the right of first refusal on contracts and projects. This is a new turning point.
00:29:46While the Corleonesi drag Cosa Nostra into a clash with the State, marked by massacres
00:29:51and high-profile murders, the Andrangheta chooses a different, low-profile strategy that
00:29:57It shelters it from the media hype. But it aims high, very high and turns its attention
00:30:05look towards South America and the cocaine market, the drug that will soon invade
00:30:10the European market.
00:30:13The war between the clans ended in 1992. Then the Andrangheta regrouped. Enough with the
00:30:20Kidnapping money is all about cocaine. Yes, it's precisely with kidnapping money.
00:30:26In person, the Andrangheta sends dozens of brokers to Colombia, Bolivia and Peru to buy
00:30:33Cocaine at the lowest price. Why this huge expansion of the Andrangheta?
00:30:39Cosa Nostra is in trouble, Cosa Nostra is engaged in massacres, it wants to dictate the
00:30:43State agenda. The State is accustomed to reacting and therefore sends men and resources, underestimating
00:30:49guiltily the power, the strength of the Andrangheta. And so the Andrangheta begins to bring in
00:30:55tons of cocaine, eventually controlling 80% of the market throughout Europe.
00:31:02I could have ended up like Peppe or Intoni extorting like a fool, instead I was
00:31:07It went better. And there's a risk, because if they catch you, it's twenty years in a fast-track sentence.
00:31:12at least. But you want to put in the money you make. And then, to be satisfied, you have to tell who
00:31:17the idiots who feel like princes, they pretend that shit went by instinct, then the trips,
00:31:23things. Never first class, because the cuckolds of the financiers now control the lists of
00:31:29passengers. No, keep a low profile, never attract attention, they told me that over and over again before
00:31:34send me out. And every time a shipment of cocaine arrives in Italy, they have to go through
00:31:40here. But they also know in the countryside or in Sicily that they have to leave it to us, because
00:31:44We are professionals. But why else do you have to go and recover some beast that
00:31:49She got herself taken hostage because I was being clever. It's better to deal with us, right?
00:31:57The 'Ndrangheta manages to buy a kilo of cocaine with an active ingredient of 98-99%, even
00:32:03at 1,000 euros, the lowest price ever heard. And then the 'Ndrangheta takes it to Europe and
00:32:08sells to other organizations, to wholesalers, even at 35,000 euros per kilo. So there is no
00:32:13no form, whether legal or illegal, is more profitable. And with this money he is buying
00:32:20everything that is on sale, especially from Rome onwards, but also in Europe, but also in
00:32:26North America, South America, and Australia. In a certain sense, we could call it a mafia.
00:32:32globalized, because it anticipated the internationalization of markets by putting down roots almost everywhere
00:32:40in the four corners of the world. A mafia that has established relationships with all the other major
00:32:47criminal organizations.
00:32:51The cocaine production area is concentrated in the northern part of South America,
00:32:57in Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru. From there, the drugs are trafficked to Brazil, Venezuela, and Argentina.
00:33:04and in the countries of the Caribbean area, waiting to reach the main markets of the United States
00:33:09United States and Europe. 80% of cocaine destined for the European market travels by sea,
00:33:16passing through the ports of Africa and those of Rotterdam, Antwerp, Gioia Tauro.
00:33:24In view of the introduction of new and faster cargo ships and with the new planned
00:33:29international agreements on maritime trade, could further increase the amount
00:33:34of the cocaine trafficking that passes through the port of Gioia Tauro, whose deep seabed
00:33:39They allow even the largest ships to dock.
00:33:53We are at the port of Gioia Tauro, the main access point for cocaine trafficking.
00:33:59in the Mediterranean. Every year, 2.8 million vessels are handled on the docks of this port.
00:34:07of containers. The 'Ndrangheta has long since taken control of this situation.
00:34:12Yes, in 1995 this beautiful port in the heart of the Mediterranean came into operation, destined
00:34:19to the exchange of containers. Unfortunately, the Andrangheta has taken an interest in this port and has
00:34:27considered one of the key points for bringing cocaine into Europe. In recent
00:34:3410 years, in particular the Guardia di Finanza, has made 100 seizures for 12 thousand kilos of
00:34:40cocaine, worth 420 million euros.
00:35:06Designed in the 1970s, in conjunction with the failed launch of the fifth steelworks,
00:35:12but inaugurated only in 1992, today the port of Gioia Tauro is the first freight port in the Mediterranean.
00:35:29It is the most important economic reality in Calabria and gives work to 1,100 people, more
00:35:35another 400 employed in private companies responsible for securing containers and another
00:35:40thousand who live thanks to the port area's induced activities.
00:35:58For the Andrangheta, the port has always been a family affair. United in a single cartel,
00:36:04the clans that dominate the plain, the piromalli mollè of Gioia Tauro and the bellocco pesce of
00:36:10Rosarno, they immediately imposed their control on all port activities, from the hiring
00:36:16of the workforce to relations with unions and local authorities. And they guaranteed safety
00:36:21of the area in exchange for payment of one and a half dollars per container treated.
00:36:37A power exercised in almost total freedom which over the years has allowed the clans to use
00:36:44the port for their traffic.
00:37:03Behind us is Pietra Cappa, with Platì in the background. It is often said that San Luca is the cradle,
00:37:11the mother of the Andrangheta and plati the mind, the strategic mind, the strategic mind of the Andrangheta
00:37:18Aspormontana, the crudest, the toughest. Even administrators were killed here.
00:37:24municipal, in 1985 Mayor De Maio was killed, another mayor was killed
00:37:31in an unspecified robbery. There is also difficulty in administering this territory, it is
00:37:37you can see from the dirt roads, the streets, it looks like an abandoned town, it's impossible to give it an administration
00:37:43municipal, continually dissolved due to mafia infiltration.
00:37:47Yes, but law enforcement officers were also killed. This country was the birthplace of
00:37:52to the Papalia family, who dominated half of Lombardy for decades, in particular with
00:37:58Epicenter Buccinasco. It is a town that gave birth to the Barbaro family, always present,
00:38:06always interested in the world of contracts, in the world of kidnappings. Many houses
00:38:13they were already built with bunkers, already with shelters for fugitives, because a fugitive
00:38:22The Mafia never leaves its territory. So, the need for the bunker? Fundamental.
00:38:59But there is a logic, because from those bunkers they administer public affairs, they manage
00:39:04public affairs. For decades now, politicians have been looking for mafia bosses, asking
00:39:13Vote pools in procurement directors. This means the 'Ndrangheta is more credible.
00:39:18on the territory compared to politics, things have reversed, they give social answers
00:39:23that politics no longer provides. It's impossible to do without the 'Ndrangheta in some areas.
00:39:29who control bundles of votes, thousands of votes, even 20-30%, so just marry
00:39:35this package to the right or left, they will choose who will be the mayor or the regional councilor,
00:39:41so there will be co-management of public affairs.
00:39:43But do you know what the problem is? That it has always been like this, both in the post-unification phase and
00:39:49during fascism, both after the Second World War, the First and Second Republic, always in search
00:39:56of contacts with the world above.
00:39:59It's 2008. The businessman Aldo Miciche is on the phone with Giacchino Arcidiaco,
00:40:06cousin of the Piromalli. He instructs him in view of a meeting between the Archdeacon himself and an important
00:40:12national political figure.
00:40:14But the important thing is that he understands who we are, be careful. Make him understand, look, when you go
00:40:19the provincial secretary of Christian Democracy, all the municipalities of the province of
00:40:23Reggio and non-Christian Democratic centers. Agiana, Agiana is ours, let's make it clear.
00:40:28In reality, we make the ports, in short. Make him understand that in Aspromonte everything
00:40:36which happened from above, but happened through us. In Calabria, either it moves on the earth,
00:40:41either it moves on the Ionian, or it moves to the center, they needed us.
00:40:44From 1992 to 2017, 269 municipal councils were dissolved, 104 of which were linked to the Andrangheta,
00:40:54equal to 38.66%, and not only in Calabria, but also in Piedmont, Lombardy, Liguria, Emilia-Romagna
00:41:02and Lazio. The 'Ndrangheta is now everywhere. First, it followed the traditional emigration routes.
00:41:13Calabrian. Today he goes where supply and demand meet, to privileged relationships with everyone.
00:41:20cocaine producers, from Bolivia to Peru to Colombia, manages the main ports,
00:41:28those of Brazil, in Holland. It has also arrived in Africa, where it exploits all those
00:41:35opportunities offered by the countries of Central Africa, Namibia, where there are large storages
00:41:41of cocaine. And it's a mafia that has managed, in a certain sense, to combine old and new,
00:41:48tradition and innovation.
00:41:50The blood bond makes it very hard, raw, dry. In fact, it is present in a
00:41:56systematic in Europe. In Germany there are dozens of Andrangheta organizations that
00:42:02they are there and live systematically, selling and buying everything that is for sale.
00:42:09And they have hotels, restaurants, and pizzerias. And that's where a hiccup happened.
00:42:19Hello? Hello! Yes! Yes! Who is it? Achilles!
00:42:26Who are you doing? What are you doing? Is mommy in the wrong place? What was happening? To whom? But is mommy in the wrong place near tia?
00:42:33No, I went to tell you right from the house. And he goes inside, but...
00:42:39Who is it? The brother died, but the boy died, but the boy died, but the boy died, brother, the whole boy died.
00:42:45the time...
00:42:46Yes! But the boy died!
00:42:51Duisburg, Germany. It's the night between August 14 and 15, 2007.
00:43:02Sebastiano Strangio, from San Luca in Calabria, chef and owner of the restaurant da Bruno,
00:43:08he leaves his place in the company of five other people.
00:43:16They all die, riddled with bullets, as soon as they get into their cars.
00:43:22The hitmen fled on foot, captured on CCTV.
00:43:29An armory was discovered in the basement of the restaurant and in the wallet of a victim.
00:43:35the burnt remains of a holy card of St. Michael the Archangel
00:43:39who the Andrangheta considers its protector.
00:43:48It all began in San Luca, almost twenty years earlier, on February 11, 1991.
00:43:54On one side the Strangio and Nirta families, on the other the Pelle and Vottari.
00:44:00The violence was triggered by a carnival prank, the throwing of some eggs.
00:44:06Within a few hours, four die.
00:44:10A Frandrine feud began, destined to leave dozens of dead on the field
00:44:14and to go beyond the borders not only of Calabria, but also of Italy,
00:44:19to end in Northern Europe, in a city in the Ruhr, the industrial heart of Germany.
00:44:29A feud can last for decades.
00:44:32The Andrangheta is locked in blood ties,
00:44:37This protective shield of the family and of the comparisons is often used,
00:44:44precisely because it is difficult to infiltrate.
00:44:46But bloody wars often break out even within families themselves.
00:44:53Yes, and despite this hardship we are starting to register some more collaborators,
00:44:59a few more regrets.
00:45:01This is a good sign.
00:45:02However, at the same time we note that the Andrangheta is analyzing social behavior
00:45:11and he says that if people still come to us, it means they need us,
00:45:15it means that we count, it means that we are important.
00:45:19Is there a logic of mutual benefit?
00:45:21Yes, entrepreneurs are not always subjected to distortions,
00:45:27they are not always crushed by the Andrangheta.
00:45:30We see above all entrepreneurs from central and northern Italy
00:45:33which embrace the offerings of the Andrangheta companies,
00:45:37who ask for Andrangheta because they can get low-cost labor,
00:45:44weakened concrete, illegal waste disposal.
00:45:48And so entrepreneurs from the North earn even more.
00:45:51And they have, especially in these last 12 years,
00:45:55at certain times and in certain cases, they managed to overcome the crisis in this way.
00:46:04In January 2015, Operation Emilia,
00:46:07coordinated by the Anti-Mafia District Attorney's Office of Bologna,
00:46:10leads to the arrest of about a hundred people.
00:46:13Politicians and freelancers are also involved in the investigation.
00:46:17Among those arrested is a tax consultant, Roberta Tattini,
00:46:22who placed herself at the disposal of the boss of Cutro,
00:46:24Nicolino Grande Aracri, to manage its affairs.
00:46:27And he tells it on the phone.
00:46:29It's an important one.
00:46:31It's a number two.
00:46:32What are you doing?
00:46:33In Calabria.
00:46:34In the Embrang.
00:46:36After an embranghertista.
00:46:38I am an entrepreneur, though.
00:46:39He commands everything.
00:46:41They are...
00:46:42I then work with companies,
00:46:43because they represented 140 companies.
00:46:45Don't they work with the trot?
00:46:48No.
00:46:49They are very...
00:46:50They are different.
00:46:52Now that I am, that's how it works, huh?
00:46:54It's a fact, we read it in the newspapers,
00:46:58on the proceedings that develop within the scope of organised crime,
00:47:03that there is a large gray area,
00:47:05in which subjects move that facilitate the transition of capital,
00:47:10from the legal economy to the legal economy.
00:47:14This gray area, in reality, offers illicit services.
00:47:19And, while this aspect is quite obvious and predictable,
00:47:22not as obvious and obvious,
00:47:24that there is a high demand for legality,
00:47:28which comes from those very same sectors
00:47:30which are often called
00:47:31to support the flow of illicit capital.
00:47:34And this is demonstrated, in its size,
00:47:38from the high flow of suspicious reports
00:47:40which arrive at a financial intelligence unit for Italy,
00:47:42which have increased eightfold in the last ten years.
00:47:47Since 2008, the financial intelligence unit of the Bank of Italy
00:47:50acts as the central anti-money laundering authority.
00:47:56Its offices acquire and analyze
00:47:59the information which is then transmitted to the investigative bodies.
00:48:04Organized crime has the need
00:48:06to make it possible to use them without being traced,
00:48:10of a large amount of resources
00:48:13which derive from the illicit activity.
00:48:15To be able to do this, complicity is needed.
00:48:18by a series of subjects
00:48:20who belong to different social and professional categories,
00:48:23which does not necessarily, in supporting the money laundering activity,
00:48:27they move in a sphere of illicit activity,
00:48:30but their failure to raise the alarm
00:48:32due to the presence of funds that transit between the two economies
00:48:35determines, allows and encourages money laundering activities.
00:48:41You know, I think that to understand the 'Ndrangheta you have to think by subtraction?
00:48:46That is, if there was no social consensus there would be no 'ndrangheta
00:48:51and if there were no professionals,
00:48:54the 'Ndrangheta would have great difficulty laundering dirty money.
00:48:57Even the largest 'Ndrangheta families alone are not capable of sophisticated money laundering.
00:49:02I am able to buy hotels, restaurants, pizzerias, large estates
00:49:06to then obtain contributions from the European Community.
00:49:09But sophisticated recycling,
00:49:12the one to justify rooms full of euros,
00:49:17They can only do that by turning to professionals,
00:49:20to banking experts, to accountants, to lawyers,
00:49:23otherwise they will never make it on their own.
00:49:26Ask my wife.
00:49:28I brought the envelopes of money into the house.
00:49:30We never ran out of money, but we just got tired of counting it.
00:49:35We even made confetti with that money.
00:49:37Then we bought a butcher shop,
00:49:40then we contacted an accountant who helped us buy
00:49:44of apartments in Germany,
00:49:45but at a certain point they even called me,
00:49:47they kindly gave us,
00:49:48we could no longer buy apartments in that city in Germany
00:49:51because we had already purchased three neighborhoods.
00:49:54Then we bought famous restaurants,
00:49:56we also wanted to buy a Swiss bank,
00:49:58but then in the end we decided to make the bags with scotch tape,
00:50:01with the leftover money, to bury them.
00:50:04It also happened that the envelopes were not closed properly,
00:50:08two or three billion have gone to waste
00:50:11and no one disagrees.
00:50:24We are in Catanzaro, headquarters of the Anti-Mafia Prosecutor's Office
00:50:28which has jurisdiction over four of the five provinces in Calabria.
00:50:32We are particularly interested in recycling
00:50:36because we are going to intercept the wealth of the 'ndrangheta.
00:50:41Recycling is the most important aspect.
00:50:44When you think of the 'ndrangheta, the idea immediately comes to mind
00:50:49to the financialization of the economy,
00:50:51to cryptocurrencies, to stock market investments
00:50:55and instead it is not like that because from the analysis of the investigations
00:50:59It turns out they still use false invoicing,
00:51:03they continue to focus on usury
00:51:07which is a crude but very effective means.
00:51:10Yes, the investigations of recent years
00:51:13they confirm that usury is the crudest form
00:51:18and easier to recycle
00:51:20because the goal of the Indrangheta loan shark
00:51:23it's not about earning his percentage
00:51:26in lending money
00:51:29but the goal is to take over the commercial activity
00:51:32then through phases and invoices
00:51:35inflate sales.
00:51:37So that box, those boxes
00:51:39if we think of a supermarket
00:51:40they become a receipt factory.
00:51:43Yes, they will pay more taxes.
00:51:44but in fact the entrepreneurs investigated
00:51:47they are the best tax payers
00:51:49because normally an entrepreneur
00:51:50try to pay as little tax as possible.
00:51:52Then we think about big investments
00:51:55in the construction world
00:51:57but we have to think for example
00:51:59to the eco-mafias
00:52:01we have to think that the Indrangheta
00:52:03she is very careful
00:52:04and in step with the times
00:52:06that is, for example
00:52:07to invest a lot
00:52:09the money from cocaine
00:52:11in building great parks.
00:52:16June 2017
00:52:21350 million euros
00:52:23they are confiscated from Pasquale Arena
00:52:25at the request of the Catanzaro District Anti-Mafia Directorate
00:52:30millions passing by
00:52:32from the hands of the 'ndrangheta
00:52:34to those of the State
00:52:41Pasquale Arena
00:52:42managed the Wind Farm wind farm
00:52:44of Isola Caporizzuto
00:52:46one of the largest plants in Europe
00:52:49with an estimated value
00:52:50of 350 million euros
00:52:53and with a turnover
00:52:54from 40 million euros
00:52:59Pasquale
00:52:59nephew of the boss Nicola Arena
00:53:01historical leader
00:53:02of the Isola Caporizzuto clan
00:53:03he was a municipal official
00:53:05and at the same time
00:53:06the hidden manager
00:53:07of the gang's business
00:53:12the clan had managed to enter
00:53:14in the renewable energy business
00:53:16through a dense network
00:53:18of German companies
00:53:19Swiss
00:53:20and the Republic of San Marino
00:53:23a system of Chinese boxes
00:53:25which allowed the arena
00:53:27to obtain authorizations
00:53:29by local authorities
00:53:30and to realize
00:53:31with money
00:53:32illegally accumulated
00:53:34over the years
00:53:34from the gang
00:53:35the wind farm
00:53:38the turnover
00:53:40generated by cocaine trafficking
00:53:42it's in order
00:53:43tens of billions of euros
00:53:45it's a river of cash
00:53:47Yes
00:53:48they confirm it
00:53:50many interceptions
00:53:51telephone and environmental
00:53:52above all
00:53:53where for example
00:53:54one says
00:53:55I'm dead tired
00:53:56all night long
00:53:57we worked
00:53:58with two machines
00:53:59money counter
00:54:01we are not finished
00:54:02to count them
00:54:03this proves
00:54:04that the elite
00:54:06of the 'ndrangheta
00:54:07it has entire rooms
00:54:09rooms full of money
00:54:11and the problem
00:54:12it's just that
00:54:14to justify
00:54:15these riches
00:54:15to bring to light
00:54:17these riches
00:54:17yes and then
00:54:18it is often the banks
00:54:20that lend
00:54:21the side
00:54:22think that
00:54:22in Canada
00:54:23a banking institution
00:54:26was
00:54:27sentenced to pay
00:54:28a fine
00:54:29of a million
00:54:30150 thousand
00:54:32dollars
00:54:32for having omitted
00:54:34to report
00:54:351200 transactions
00:54:36suspicious
00:54:37imagine
00:54:38the turnover
00:54:39generated by the
00:54:40wiretaps
00:54:40they practically do
00:54:41a speech
00:54:43of the type
00:54:43costs and benefits
00:54:44and then at the end
00:54:45they pay the fine
00:54:46and they get away with it
00:54:54there are many
00:54:55the big banks
00:54:56accused
00:54:56of having recycled
00:54:57dirty money
00:54:58in the last
00:54:59ten years
00:54:59among these
00:55:01Deutsche Bank
00:55:01German
00:55:02HSBC
00:55:04English
00:55:04Citibank
00:55:06and Bank of America
00:55:07in the United States
00:55:09but the case
00:55:10most famous
00:55:10is it perhaps
00:55:11that
00:55:11of the bank
00:55:12Wachovia
00:55:13accused in 2010
00:55:14from the Department
00:55:15of the Treasury
00:55:16American
00:55:16of having recycled
00:55:17358 billion
00:55:19of dollars
00:55:20coming from
00:55:20from traffic
00:55:21of drugs
00:55:26all of them
00:55:27these banks
00:55:28they were
00:55:29accused
00:55:30all of them
00:55:31they recognized
00:55:32of having participated
00:55:34of recycling
00:55:34of illicit money
00:55:35and all of them
00:55:36they were
00:55:37punished
00:55:38even if in a manner
00:55:39paltry
00:55:40compared to income
00:55:42that these banks
00:55:42generate
00:55:43the turnover
00:55:44of the activities
00:55:44criminals
00:55:45in the world
00:55:46it's huge
00:55:47it has become
00:55:49a large company
00:55:50perhaps the largest
00:55:51at the global level
00:55:52the proceeds
00:55:53of criminal activity
00:55:55I am then
00:55:55recycled
00:55:56in the financial world
00:55:57to such a point
00:55:59that in the past
00:56:00and I keep saying it
00:56:01that I am not
00:56:02the mafiosi themselves
00:56:03that they are looking for
00:56:04the bankers
00:56:06through which
00:56:07recycle your own
00:56:08proceeds
00:56:08but they are the bankers
00:56:10above all
00:56:11everything at the time
00:56:12of the disaster
00:56:13financial
00:56:14of 2008
00:56:15a disaster
00:56:16characterized
00:56:17due to lack
00:56:18of liquidity
00:56:18lack
00:56:19of funds
00:56:19at that point
00:56:21they were
00:56:21the bankers
00:56:22who have tried
00:56:23and they continue
00:56:24to do it
00:56:24crime
00:56:26organized
00:56:26to recycle it
00:56:27the profits
00:56:31to recycle
00:56:32dirty money
00:56:33then there are
00:56:33tax havens
00:56:36to constitute
00:56:37a trust company
00:56:38it's not difficult
00:56:39just trust
00:56:40to the right people
00:56:41and choose
00:56:42a country
00:56:42that guarantees
00:56:43anonymity
00:56:44most absolute
00:56:45the vademecum
00:56:46it is found on the web
00:56:49the price
00:56:50to give life
00:56:51to a company
00:56:51offshore
00:56:52it's $900
00:56:54a bank account
00:56:56it costs 500 dollars
00:56:57a debit card
00:56:59anonymous
00:57:00with payment
00:57:01in black
00:57:01200
00:57:03an e-commerce account
00:57:04finalized
00:57:05to transactions
00:57:06via the internet
00:57:07100 dollars
00:57:09beyond the paradises
00:57:10tax
00:57:11and banking
00:57:12I'm here today
00:57:13regulatory havens
00:57:14and represent
00:57:16a real problem
00:57:17they are those countries
00:57:18in which
00:57:19the legislations
00:57:20to counteract
00:57:21the mafias
00:57:22I'm rather
00:57:23mild
00:57:23and so there is
00:57:24this ability
00:57:26to infiltrate
00:57:27to take root
00:57:28to go and look for
00:57:29to find the places
00:57:30where possible
00:57:31to commit crimes
00:57:31so the mafias
00:57:33they globalize
00:57:34on the other hand
00:57:35the anti-mafia
00:57:36it's hard work
00:57:37to globalize
00:57:38almost a fear
00:57:39to face
00:57:40the mafias
00:57:41but maybe
00:57:43Why
00:57:43in some cases
00:57:45it gets lost
00:57:46consent
00:57:47votes are lost
00:57:48in contrasting
00:57:49the mafias
00:57:51to counter them
00:57:52in a way
00:57:52serious
00:57:54in a harsh way
00:57:55raw
00:57:55dry
00:57:56in compliance
00:57:56of the constitutions
00:57:57it's not worth it
00:57:59so it would be necessary
00:58:01an edit
00:58:02regulations
00:58:03serious
00:58:04to the codes
00:58:05criminal
00:58:05ordering
00:58:06penitentiary
00:58:07thinking above all
00:58:08to computerization
00:58:09of the process
00:58:10why computerization
00:58:11that you knock down
00:58:12the timing of the process
00:58:13the costs
00:58:14and the power
00:58:15of discretion
00:58:16of man
00:58:16so the abuse
00:58:17would need
00:58:19a homologation
00:58:21of the codes
00:58:21at least in Europe
00:58:22but this is a utopia
00:58:24thinking that
00:58:26in some states
00:58:27really
00:58:28there is no possibility
00:58:30to delay
00:58:31the arrest
00:58:31delay the seizure
00:58:33of a trafficker
00:58:35of cocaine
00:58:36so let's imagine
00:58:37to go and think
00:58:38in the center
00:58:39in Northern Europe
00:58:40to create
00:58:41the counterpart
00:58:42of the situation
00:58:42of inquisit
00:58:43mafioso
00:58:43It's sad to say
00:58:46but Italy
00:58:46it's a country
00:58:47which seems
00:58:47grope
00:58:48blind
00:58:49in front of
00:58:50to the big theme
00:58:50of responsibility
00:58:52it comes to mind
00:58:53Tiresia
00:58:54that even though
00:58:55blind
00:58:56he was able
00:58:56to see everything
00:58:57he claimed
00:58:58that at the origin
00:58:59of the catastrophe
00:59:00there was
00:59:00the offense
00:59:01to the truth
00:59:01when the question
00:59:03criminal
00:59:04involves
00:59:05in a decisive way
00:59:06the responsibility
00:59:07of the ruling classes
00:59:08becoming
00:59:09the dark sea
00:59:10of the State
00:59:11and democracy
00:59:12the country
00:59:13it ends
00:59:14to be
00:59:15attacked
00:59:15from the plague
00:59:17just like
00:59:18Tempe
00:59:18a plague
00:59:19call
00:59:20Andrangheta
00:59:20locked up
00:59:21and protected
00:59:22from a code of silence
00:59:23timeless
00:59:29she is considered
00:59:30a boss
00:59:31so it's difficult
00:59:31but it is considered
00:59:32a boss
00:59:32and I went to dream
00:59:33At home
00:59:34of affection
00:59:34which is
00:59:35this boss
00:59:35the bosses
00:59:36they asked
00:59:36that are taken
00:59:37that are taken
00:59:37halfway
00:59:38Italy
00:59:38distinguished
00:59:39gentlemen
00:59:40distinguished

00:59:43it is said
00:59:44that she
00:59:45is
00:59:45billionaire
00:59:46and then
00:59:46I report it
00:59:48for false
00:59:50and for slanderers
00:59:51what he says
00:59:52I'm here
00:59:53I have it

01:00:00falsehood

01:00:10towards a party
01:00:11most of it
01:00:12of the votes

01:00:36not only
01:00:37the police say so
01:00:38and those who have
01:00:39interest in saying it
01:00:40just to make me
01:00:41of evil
01:00:42it is said for example
01:00:43that the fifth center
01:00:46steelworks
01:00:46has arisen
01:00:47under his dominion
01:00:49look

01:00:52I only know the area
01:00:53where they are building it
01:00:55and yet they say
01:00:56that the 200 trucks
01:00:58what they do

01:01:30this mafia
01:01:40I felt like a great man
01:01:43instead he was a coward
01:01:45for life
01:01:47I had myself called
01:01:48man of honor
01:01:50instead I killed

01:02:29I didn't think
01:02:30to build
01:02:31an empire
01:02:34and what remained to me
01:02:37mud
01:02:59we are back in Porsi

01:03:03of the world
01:03:03dominates the region
01:03:05poorest in Europe
01:03:06once the 'ndrangheta

01:03:31here the horror
01:03:32of a country
01:03:32with limited sovereignty
01:03:34appears in all its glory
01:03:35dazzling epiphany
