This is the secret dome of the biggest world mafia
Calabrian Ndrangheta is the most important criminal organization in the world, which dominates the international cocaine trafficking, drug consuming 230 million people in the world and that moves 300 billion dollars per year. It has spread from Calabria to the rich northern Italy and more than 49 countries, including Argentina, where it is firmly established. Its structure is fascinating because it differs distinctly Sicilian Cosa Nostra, which has always been a top-down driving with the "boss of bosses", which is currently Matteo Messina Denaro, a fugitive for 23 years. Only for less than a decade it is known that the Ndrangheta also has a top-secret dome, called Crimine.
The crimine capo, the most important character of the dome, its current identity is unknown, as well as other members of the structure that demonstrates the existence of a unified and not completely horizontal Ndrangheta, as believed, it is operating on the basis families, ndrinas calls, and the commandments, higher level organizations that coordinate and try to mediate wars or punish the "infamous" who violate the rules.
Crimine consists of the Capo and Teacher Workday in the two most important positions. Below are the General Master, the Company and the Accounting Capo . This structure was unknown to justice and law enforcement until in 2009 the police and magistrates managed drilling depth the organization.
Every year the " capo bastone " chief commandment and venerable figures of Santa , as they call the Ndrangheta , meet or met (due to electronic controls and all kinds used by the Italian justice ) , in the heart Aspromonte , the mountainous region of Calabria , ideal place where mobsters historically persecuted by law refuge . Aspromonte is the capital of San Luca , who rose to fame because at the time when kidnappings of people in northern Italy were a huge source of income, there were taken several prisoners .
On September 2, a close date, is held in the sanctuary of the Virgin of the Mountain, the feast of the Virgin of Polsi. In those days produced traditionally the meeting of the main Calabrian mobsters who elected the members of the Crime dome, trying business, expanding horizons and decided punishment. In 2009, in San Luca there was a historical marriage between two young families most "pedigree" of the Ndrangheta, which involved two thousand guests, all controlled by the carabinieri, police and security services, with technical advice from American FBI. So great discoveries were made.
At the party the election as Capo Crimine Don Domenico Oppedisano was completed (in southern Italy the "gift" as in Hispanic culture is used), 80. Days after the appointment was confirmed at the meeting at the shrine of the Virgin of Polsi and appointed the other members of Crimine. Shortly after there were mass arrests and 90 convictions recently confirmed mobsters.
It was learned that Antonio Latella, Reggio Calabria, was elected Capo Society and Bruno Gioffre Master General consecrated him. The other two were not identified. Capo Crimine only three are known for justice: Antonio Pelle, Domenico Oppedisano and Antonio Nirta. Oppedisano was the only imprisoned. It is not known how long is chosen a Crimine Capo. The investigations identify other crime bosses who were twenty members of the Crimine dome over the past 40 years. Too little and too late.
Nicola Gratteri Judge, considered a legendary opponent of the Ndrangheta, said "the real novelty of this research is that Crimine is not an executive structure but a political body which observes the rules of the Ndrangheta. It is not intended to criminal business, it does not say buy 200 kilos of cocaine. Observes the rules. " These rules are followed and respected; from the "christening" ceremony in which the new member of a ndrina or "local", take a few drops of blood on a holy card of St. Michael the Archangel which is then burned.
The autonomy of "local" continues to differentiate the Calabrian mafia other criminal organizations. The ndrinas, work a lot with the characteristic of the families within it. So there are few "sorry" or collaborators of justice. The Ndrangheta is currently made up of four commandments. Three are in the "Province", as they call the Calabrian region: the Tyrrhenian coast, the Ionian coast and Reggio Calabria, that is the beating heart of the historical organization, with more than twelve thousand members sworn.
The big news discovered by researchers, is that it has added a fourth commandment called Lombardy, covering all northern Italy, where the Ndrangheta has grown dramatically in the last quarter century.
In addition there are strong structures in Canada and Australia . All depend on Calabria and autonomous yearnings are paid with death. Recently arrested members of the Dome Invisible , who were politicians and businessmen that guided the Ndrangheta in handling insight into the world of political power and corruption , because a multimillion source of the Calabrian mafia are contracts Public Works. But the " Invisibles " do not lead , serve Crimine and other structures that have not yet been discovered . The Ndrangheta is the largest criminal organization and more impenetrable.
