  • STRUTTURE Cosa Nostra E 'Ndrangheta a Confronto
    STRUTTURE Cosa Nostra e ‘ndrangheta a confronto Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi Andrea Zolea WikiMafia – Libera Enciclopedia sulle Mafie www.wikimafia.it Strutture: Cosa Nostra e ‘ndrangheta a confronto, di Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi e Andrea Zolea La mafia dura da decenni: un motivo ci deve essere. Non si può andare contro i missili con arco e frecce: in queste vicende certe intemperanze si pagano duramente. Con il terrorismo, con il consenso sociale, potevi permettertele: con la mafia non è così. Nella società c’è un consenso distorto. Altro che bubbone in un tessuto sociale sano. Il tessuto non è affatto sano. Noi estirperemo Michele Greco, poi arriverà il secondo, poi il terzo, poi il quarto. Giovanni Falcone 1 www.wikimafia.it Strutture: Cosa Nostra e ‘ndrangheta a confronto, di Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi e Andrea Zolea PREMESSA Questo lavoro ha lo scopo di offrire uno sguardo d’insieme sulle articolazioni strutturali delle organizzazioni mafiose denominate Cosa nostra e ‘ndrangheta . La prima sezione, curata da Francesco Gaetano Moiraghi, si concentra sull’analisi di Cosa nostra. La seconda sezione, che sposta il focus sulla ‘ndrangheta, è curata da Andrea Zolea. Come si potrà notare, le due sezioni non sono state realizzate secondo uno stesso modello, ma analizzano le due organizzazioni con un approccio differente. Ad esempio, la parte su Cosa nostra avrà un orientamento maggiormente diacronico, diversamente da quella sulla ‘ndrangheta, basata su un approccio sincronico. Il presente testo ha infatti l’obiettivo di offrire due proposte di analisi differenti che riescano a mettere in luce le analogie e le differenze delle strutture delle due organizzazioni mafiose.

  • PREFACE the Influence of Organised Crime in the Balkan Area, As Is Well
    PREFACE The influence of organised crime in the Balkan area, as is well known, has reached levels that have required a considerable acceleration in efforts to combat this phenomenon. Albania is involved in many initiatives set up by the international community, which are matched by efforts at national level. In 2005, the Democratic Party achieved a decisive victory in the political elections with the support of its allies, making a commitment to reduce crime and corruption in the country. This victory, and more importantly the ordered transition of power which followed it, has been regarded at international level as an important step forward towards the confirmation of democracy. Despite the active presence of organised criminal groups over the territorial area and the influence exercised by them in the country's already critical social and economic situation, Albania, recognising the need to bring its legislation up to date and to strengthen the institutions responsible for fighting crime, has moved with determination in the direction of reform. With regard to bringing the legislation into line with international standards, we should remember that in 2002 Albania ratified the United Nations Convention against Trans National Organised Crime (UNTOC) and the relative additional protocols preventing the smuggling of migrants and trafficking of human beings. In February 2008 it also ratified the third and final protocol on arms trafficking. Since 1995, Albania has been a member country of the Council of Europe; in 2001 it became a member of the Group of States Against Corruption (GRECO) and in 2006 it also ratified the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC).

  • Crime and Networks Edited by Carlo Morselli
    Crime and Networks Edited by Carlo Morselli CONTENTS Preface Introduction Carlo Morselli PART I: CO-OFFENDING NETWORKS Chapter 1: The Importance of Studying Co-offending Networks for Criminological Theory and Policy Jean Marie McGloin and Holly Nguyen Though the group nature of much crime and delinquency has been well documented for decades, there is relatively scant research on co-offending networks. This chapter argues that attending to the ways in which co-offending networks shape and affect criminal behavior, as well as how individual and situational attributes shape the tendency to join such networks and adopt certain roles within them, has broad and important implications for criminology and criminal justice. Chapter 2: Sex and Age Homophily in Co-offending Networks: Opportunity or Preference? Sarah B. van Mastrigt and Peter J. Carrington Homophily, the tendency for individuals to associate with similar others, has been demonstrated across a wide range of social relational forms, including co-offending. One of the most widely cited ‘facts’ about group crime is that it is typically carried out in homogeneous groups, particularly with respect to age and sex. The findings in this chapter provide evidence for inbreeding homophily and indicate that the bias for offending with similar others is most pronounced amongst males and youths in co-offending networks. Chapter 3: The Evolution of a Drug Co-arrest Network Natalia Iwanski and Richard Frank i This chapter analyzes the evolution of a co-arrest network of drug offenders to examine how groups of offenders change over time. Using five years of real crime data, a social network is created with offenders who were arrested by police for drug-related crimes and analyzed over monthly time intervals to understand its growth.

    Camera dei Deputati – 465 – Senato della Repubblica XVII LEGISLATURA — DISEGNI DI LEGGE E RELAZIONI — DOCUMENTI — DOC. XXIII N. 38 prosecuzione della originaria leadership dell’organizzazione costituita dalle famiglie Violi/Cotroni. In questo modo si è perpetuata quella dicotomia delle origini, tra siciliani e calabresi, solo apparentemente risolta o sedata dalle capacità strategiche di Vito Rizzuto. Inoltre, intorno ai due ceppi originari, con il tempo, si sono innestate altre componenti etniche: quella francofona, soprattutto a Montreal; quella di colore, con esponenti afro-americani o caraibici; quella ispano- americana, attiva nel narcotraffico. A queste fazioni va aggiunta, non per ultima, la componente assai aggressiva e spregiudicata dei gruppi di motociclisti dediti alle attività criminali più disparate596. Per un cartello criminale così composito e variegato, che conteneva in sé quasi fisiologicamente il germe di una pericolosa implosione, era fondamentale la funzione connettiva di un capomafia forte e autorevole come Vito Rizzuto, le cui capacità diplomatico-strategiche gli avevano consentito negli anni di conquistare la fiducia e la lealtà delle diverse correnti dell’organizzazione, anche e soprattutto attraverso una accorta politica di selezione dei quadri direttivi sino ad arrivare ad affiliare, in spregio alle regole di cosa nostra, ma in nome di un concreto e vantaggioso pragmatismo, anche esponenti non aventi origini italiane. In tale eterogeneo scenario, pronto a deflagrare per l’assenza del leader carismatico, intorno al 2009 una fazione della sesta famiglia comprendente la corrente calabrese e quella francofona, entrambe coagulate intorno alla figura del francese Raynald Desjardins e del cognato Joe Di Maulo, inizia a manifestare pulsioni sempre più autonomiste rapidamente trasformatesi in ambizioni di scalata al potere dell’intera organizzazione.

  • Mafia E Libertà Di Stampa: I Giornalisti Minacciati Dalla 'Ndrangheta
    Dipartimento di Discipline Umanistiche, Sociali e delle Imprese Culturali Corso di laurea in Giornalismo e Cultura Editoriale MAFIA E LIBERTÀ DI STAMPA: I GIORNALISTI MINACCIATI DALLA ‘NDRANGHETA Relatore: Chiar.mo Prof. Paolo Ferrandi Correlatore: Chiar.mo Prof. Marco Deriu Laureanda: Chiara Fazio matr. 271230 Anno Accademico 2017/2018 Introduzione Gran parte degli studiosi contemporanei concorda nel considerare la ‘ndrangheta l’organizzazione criminale più potente al mondo: agendo sotto traccia, riuscendo quasi a far passare inosservata la sua intrinseca pericolosità e approfittando di un clima di silenzio e di omertà, essa è stata in grado nel volgere degli ultimi due secoli di trasformarsi da fenomeno delinquenziale rurale e prevalentemente locale a «multinazionale del crimine organizzato»1, la cui potenza è oggi assimilabile a quella della camorra e della mafia. Il suo ampio spettro di interessi va dall’appalto al subappalto di opere pubbliche, alla politica, al traffico internazionale di droga, all’estorsione, al riciclaggio, all’usura: è possibile sostenere, a ragione, che non vi sia oggi un aspetto della vita pubblica immune alla presenza della ‘ndrangheta. L’obiettivo che ci si è posti con questo lavoro di ricerca, in particolare, è stato analizzare il complesso rapporto tra la ‘ndrangheta - nei territori che da essa sono permeati - e la libertà di stampa, cercando di capire se e in che misura essa rappresenti un reale ostacolo alla libera circolazione dell’informazione nel nostro Paese, e non solo, oltre che un pericolo per l’incolumità, ed in certi casi la vita, dei cronisti che se ne sono occupati e continuano ad occuparsene. Partendo dallo studio del contesto storico-culturale in cui la mafia calabrese è nata e si è sviluppata, sono state delineate le tappe della sua genesi ed evoluzione.

This paper highlights the compelling and unfortunate nature of this void, arguing that it hampers the Holly Nguyen development and assessment of theory and policy, as well as stunts University of Maryland basic knowledge about criminal behavior and processes. More specifically, this paper argues that attending to the ways in which co-offending networks shape and affect criminal behavior, as well as how individual and situational attributes shape the tendency to join such networks and adopt certain roles within them, has broad and important implications for criminology and criminal justice.

    What’s in a Name? Shifting Identities of Traditional Organized Crime in Canada in the Transnational Fight against the Calabrian ‘Ndrangheta1 Anna Sergi* University of Essex Les autorite´s antimafia italiennes ont pre´venu la police canadienne des risques et des pre´occupations croissantes concernant l’infiltration de clans faisant partie de la mafia calabraise, connue sous le nom de ‘ndrangheta dans l’Est canadien2. L’alerte lie´e a` l’essor de la ‘ndrangheta de´fie les paradigmes du crime organise´ traditionnel au Canada parce que la ‘ndrangheta est pre´sente´e comme e´tant non seulement traditionnelle, mais aussi novatrice et plus omni- pre´sente que d’autres groupes de type mafia. En acce´dant a` des enqueˆtes confidentielles et en interviewant des spe´cialistes cle´s a` Toronto et a` Montre´al, cet article examine la perception institutionnelle actuelle de la mafia – particulie`rement la ‘ndrangheta – au Canada compare´e aux conceptualisations italiennes. Je soutiens que les changements de narratifs au Canada peuvent eˆtre compris en lien avec des changements concernant l’identite´ italienne dans le pays, allant vers une re´gionalisation et une connaissance spe´cialise´e des diffe´rences ethniques. Mots cle´s : mafia, crime organise´ italien, police, mobilite´ de la mafia, migration italienne, crime organise´ The Italian antimafia authorities have warned Canadian law enforcement about the risks and the growing concerns for the infiltration of clans of the Calabrian mafia, known as ‘ndrangheta, in Eastern Canada3. The alarm linked to the rise of the ‘ndrangheta challenges the paradigms of traditional organized crime in Canada, because the ‘ndrangheta is presented as tradi- tional but also innovative and more pervasive than other mafia-type groups.

    – 337 – 8. CRIMIN AUT À ORGANIZZATA ITALIANA ALL'ESTERO E RELAZlONI !NTERNAZlONALI • - Paesi Bassi La collaborazione con il collaterale della "Dutch National Police" e con il "Servizio Olandese di Informazioni Fiscali e Indagine" (FIOD) è stata rafforzata negli ultimi anni anche grazie alla recente adesione alla Rete Europea Antimafia "Operational Network@ON", promossa dalla DIA Le attività investigative indicano come il territorio olandese ed in particolare lo scalo internazionale di Rotterdam siano sfruttati per il traffico internazionale di stupefacenti, Nel 2015 sono state condotte dalle Autorità italiane ed olandesi due importanti indagini che hanno fatto luce su una fitta rete d'interessi e attività imprenditoriali di matrice 'ndranghetista, utilizzate come copertura per il traffico di stupefacenti e per il riciclaggio di capitali illeciti: si tratta delle operazioni "Acero Connection" e "Krupy" per il versante italiano, e "Levinius" per quello olandese, che hanno coinvolto le cosche COMMISSO di Siderno e AQUINO - COLUCCIO di Marina di Gioiosa Ionica. Sempre in tale contesto, si segnala che a giugno 2017, presso l'aeroporto di San Paolo (Brasile) è stato tratto in arresto un esponente di spicco della famiglia Crupi, affiliata ai COMMISSO di Siderno (RC), che si era trasferito da Aalsmeer (Olanda) a Caracas (Venezuela), ove, secondo gli investigatori, avrebbe continuato a coordinare ac­ quisti e traffici di droga. L'interesse della criminalità transnazionale e della 'ndrangheta per il territorio olandese risulta confermato anche altre operazioni di polizia. Ad ottobre 2017, il Tribunale di Milano ha pronunciato una sentenza di condanna1000 a carico di alcuni esponenti della cosca 'ndranghetista RUGA-LOIERO-METASTASIO di Monasterace (RC), arrestati nell'ambito dell'opera­ 1001 zione "Mar Jonio" dalla Procura di Milano , per associazione finalizzata al traffico di cocaina, proveniente dal Brasile e dall'Olanda.
