Spreading to the US? Really, when did they leave? The ‘mob’, ‘costra nostra’, ‘mafia’, ‘the family’ whatever you call them have been in the US for decades upon decades, they are not just arriving.
Muscling in on the cartels of the Zetas, the Sinaloa and the MS-13 territories, are they? Those guys play HARD, and the Calabrian Mafia stand to be in for quite a turf war.
Are they sure they want this?
My 90 year old mother in law is first generation Italian. Her family is from Naples. She always complains about how her dad hated the Calabrese.
They haven’t gone anywhere. They just got a PR person.
Well, it says “spreading in the US”, not “spreading to the US”. Also, this is about the Calabrian mafia, not the Sicilian mafia, which has been the dominant force in the American branch of the Italian mafia for the better part of a century, at least. They are two separate organizations, sometimes they collaborate, other times they war with each other.
They are the toe kicking the ball, they are the eggplant wiseguys not the cannoli wiseguys.
