Seven members of Italy's most powerful
mafia 'Ndrangheta got a total of 125 years in jail Saturday for
infiltrating the town councils of Anzio and Nettuno on the Roman
coast.
The head of the 'locale' (branch) of the Calabria-born Mob,
Giacomo Madaffari, got 28 years, and his number two Davide
Perronace 20.
Both seaside towns, site of major WWII battles, had their
councils dissolved for mafia infiltration.
'Ndrangheta is Italy's richest mafia thanks to its virtual
control of the European cocaine trade, and also its most
powerful and dangerous, having eclipsed Sicily's Cosa Nostra.
Its tentacles stretch worldwide.
