Italy opens largest mafia trial in decades against 'Ndrangheta mobsters • FRANCE 24 English

Italy on Monday opened its largest trial in decades against organised crime as hundreds of people stand accused of membership in the 'Ndrangheta, one of the world’s most powerful, extensive and wealthy drug-trafficking groups. The proceedings revealed countless examples of the mafia's stranglehold on the local population including carrying out violent ambushes, shaking down business owners, stockpiling weapons and leaving dead dolphins on the doorsteps of people who oppose them.
