About this Talk
This panel will explore the mafia-state relation and the alleged “trattativa”(negotiation) between them, particularly the Cosa Nostra members, that took place in 1992. They will then discuss the Nigerian criminal networks in Campania in Southern Italy where trafficking in Nigerian women and girls remains a problem. They will also analyze the organized crime phenomenon of ‘Ndrangheta’ which is the Calabrian version of mafia, which has developed a terrifying global network of organized crime criminal power. Finally, they will look at the old problems and new perspectives of the “great transformation” of Ndrangheta during 1960-1970.
