Episode 29 - Spectre - The Ndrangheta, the world's own Spectre

This episode is a fascinating history of the world's more powerful criminal enterprise that you probably have never heard of.  Operating for almost 150 years now the Ndrangheta has amassed a network that creates $60 billion a year of revenue and accounts for 3% of Italy's GDP.  This is done from kidnapping, extortion, drug trade, political corruption, human smuggling and prostitution.  This has all been accomplished while being relatively secret.  Their meeting place is even right out of a James Bond story in a lair that would make Blofield jealous.  Join myself and Sal Manteria as we discuss Spectre the movie, the Ndrangheta, and all the craziness of this organization that truly has people everywhere .............. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donald-waldron/support
