This article should include that 'Ndrangheta was probably responsible for the kidnapping of Getty III and the assassination of prominent center-left politician Francesco Fortugno.

[edit] some errors
i think it is a mistake to put the ndrangheta as the most powerful criminal organization in the world, it is much more easily substantiated that yakuza, russian and several other criminal groups are much more powerful
you obviously have no idea what the 'ndrangheta is capable of. wow
Although you opinion is certainly guaranteed a voice here, your mis-statement "..ndrangheta....as the most powerful criminal organization in the world", is in fact a quote as referenced below:
According to Italian DIA (Direzione Investigativa Antimafia) 'Ndrangheta is now one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the world.
An intersting article regarind the Ndrangheta is available at http://www.guardian.co.uk/italy/story/0,,1792782,00.html
[edit] unverified statement
| “ | At this point in time 'Ndrangheta preyed only on the rich, which made them popular with the general populace. From this time comes the "mafia culture" of Calabria which celebrates the life of 'Ndranghetistas in songs. Over time, however, the style of 'Ndrangheta has changed a lot. | ” |
I was unable to find any sources to back this statement up. Therefore I removed the statement. I tried searching my university databases, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, AllTheWeb, MSN, Lycos, Technorati, Feedster, and Google. All yielded no results. If anyone has any questions about this, and or wants to bring up a discussion about this, feel free to ask me on my user_talk:Eagle 101talk page to join in. I will not be watching this page. —— Eagle 101 (Need help?) 03:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ndràngheta in Germany
According to Jürgen Roth (german author of several books about mafia organisations), the 'Ndràngheta is main actor in the current scandal in Saxony (Germany). Several high ranked politicians, attorneys and police officers seem to belong to a network, which is operating with child pornography, sexual abuse of East European women and illegal building programs
Could someone improve the formulation and fill in? Think it could give an actual image of this organisation. Thanks you.
[edit] Getty's kidnapping
| “ | In 1973, Eugene Paul Getty III, seventeen-year-old grandson of one of the richest men in the world, was abducted in Rome. [...] It was all Leggio's work, according to Di Cristina. | ” |
John Dickie, Cosa Nostra, p. 368.
Dickie's book doesn't say how credible Di Cristina's revelation is considered by authorities and experts. It would be interesting to find sources to know which hypothesis is believed to be the most plausible, the one which lays the blame on Leggio's mafiosi or the one about the 'ndrangheta (or whether a complicity in this crime between the two has ever been hypothesized).--Analytikone 02:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
