Potential Mistranslation

In the Characteristics section, giovani d'onore is translated as boys of honor. This seems to be mistranslated. Giovani d'onore would be more "honorable youth" than "honorable boys." Boys of honor would be ragazzi d'onore. Perhaps this is a southern Italy colloquialism, and perhaps I'm splitting too fine a hair; it just seems to me that youth is a better translation. Am I offbase? Jamesfett (talk) 03:51, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Untitled

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.

some errors

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

unverified statement

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.

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.

Reply: Current is when exactly, you do not say, so nobody can search. Politicians are always in such networks. Without convictions, you cannot write about it. Politicians are never ever prosecuted for corruption in Germany, whether it is 'normal' corruption like under Helmut Kohl or close to criminal networks. On very rare occasions one gets caught with tax evasion, and then that may be prosecuted but more likely they are coming to a gentleman agreement without us ever knowing it. If politicians are involved, forget it. 144.136.192.6 (talk) 06:46, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

En lieu of solid answer: These things are rarely proven so everybody watches their step. From where I sit, the buying of houses is also happening in Berlin. The pattern is to buy a building and then evict all the tennants. Those few who do not go are usually threatened, harrassed through excessive noise, disruption of water supply, or more effective, fires. I know of a person who perished in June 2008 in the first of two de-tennanting fires in Berlin Schoeneberg, Ansbacher Strasse 61. The prosepctus for selling the apartments coughs up surprises. No painting of the outside, dirty, lopsided hanging awnings. Same sq.m. price for all apartments is bizarre if you know the building. No wonder, they haven't sold within four years, may have a good money supply to sustain the whole thing or heaven knows what they harbour. The filename by Bato-Group contains 'inglese'. One cannot go to the police and ask them to raid that building or write about it. There are all the pointers for you know what, but that aint't enough. 144.136.192.6 (talk) 06:34, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Getty's kidnapping

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)

NPOV template

The identification of Calabria region as the territory of pertinence of 'Ndrangheta is highly disputable, since the judicial chronicles in Italy clearly show its presence and ramifications in other Central and Northern Italian regions, like Lombardia, Piemonte, etc. Therefore the map is giving a false and distorted information and should have to be updated accordingly.--Ferdinando Scala (talk) 20:20, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

  • As mentioned in the Sicilian Mafia talk page, I'm not convinced that the NPOV template is properly used here. If there are mistakes in the article, please provide reliable sources so we can work on it together. There is no "disputed" neutrality. ComputerJA (talk)

Greek etymology and edit-war

See here.My last edit provided inter alia a ridiculously long verb form analysis.I've done this not because I think this has a place here (it doesn't!! it should be deleted!!it's ridiculous!!) but because I'm thus stating in dismay the plainly obvious thing to anyone that knows basic Greek.DonCalo's quoted source -have not read it myself- must simply either suck greatly as far Greek etymology-transliteration-orthography-grammar is concerned or deal with such issues very lightly-informaly, not seriously (focusing instead on the topic without any care about the lingustic details).P.S.Btw excluding proper names (i.e. Andragathos), I haven't found anything on andragathos; don't know whether this form is indeed attested or whether it's just an Italian source-author's neologism following e.g. something like kalokagathos; prima facie it seems to me that it isn't attested.But I've chosen to let it be... Thanatos|talk 10:44, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

OK are there any opposing views? There have been no new edit-reverts or edits.If people find in essense nothing to object to I will remove the ridiculous verb form analysis(let's say tomorrow,let's have some more time).Thanatos|talk

So-called excommunication

I have disputed the accuracy of this article due to the addition of Category:People excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church. As is explained right in this article, this group was not legally the subject of any decree, and the scope of the category demands that such de facto situations arising from off-the-cuff homily remarks by a bishop (in this case, Pope Francis), not be included in the category. Elizium23 (talk) 00:53, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Removed accuracy disputed. To discredit the whole article because of a dispute over a category seems exaggerated. You need to discuss the issue on what the criteria are to include people in the category on the appropriate talk page Category:People excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church, and leave this article out of the dispute. - DonCalo (talk) 06:31, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
I have already discussed it exhaustively (an RFC was run) on List of people excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church, where consensus was against inclusion, and Kendrick7 (talk · contribs) chooses to edit-war instead of discussing it. So rather than edit-war here, I have tagged the article. I am restoring the tag. Don't remove it again without fixing the article. Elizium23 (talk) 13:42, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
In point of fact, the RfC was closed with no consensus. As such our standard inclusion policies (WP:V, WP:RS, WP:PRESERVE, etc.) should apply. -- Kendrick7talk 20:37, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
The RFC had no consensus to broaden the scope of the article nor narrow the scope of the article. In discussion outside the RFC there was clear consensus to keep the scope of the article as it was, which excludes the 'Ndrangheta case. Elizium23 (talk) 21:34, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Is this info correct?

@Vaselineeeeeeee Please check the recent edits; should that info be included or not?
     The Moretti clan is a group of the societa foggiana, and is allied to the ndrangheta and the Camorra, as we can see in this article - https://www.immediato.net/2018/02/06/societa-foggiana-ecco-chi-comanda-ora-scalata-al-potere-dei-moretti-sostenuti-da-camorra-e-ndrangheta-sinesi-in-difficolta/

Peter K Burian (talk) 21:05, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

The IP's source does seem to indicate their alliance. However, the Società Foggiana is also a division of Sacra Corona Unita, who are allies, so then I'm not sure if it's necessary to list them both. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 21:10, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Any prove from law enforcement agencies about the "alliance" with the "albanian mafia"? Any thing you know about that organisation? Let's be realistic, there is no such thing!

Supposed pre-1955 use of the word 'Ndrangheta

I have removed the claim that evidence supports the pre-1955 appearance of the word 'Ndrangheta. There is a failure here to understand that the dates assigned to journals and multi-volume works on Google Books do not necessarily correspond with the date of its "snippet view" articles. (1) The citation from Keesing's Contemporary Archives mentions an arrest "in Naples on March 1, 1984." So it is not from 1931. (2) The Enciclopedia italiana di scienze, lettere ed arti citation is taken from the "Quinta appendice" supplementary volume (1979-1992) (as per the Google Books front page photo). So it is not from 1938. (3) The Notes et études documentaires snippet view citation mentions an event which took place in December 1990. So it is not from 1949. 213.205.241.233 (talk) 21:14, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Should we add this?

In Italy, the ’Ndrangheta sells cocaine to other crime groups—often Albanian or Nigerian—who in turn sell it on the street. Such outsourcing keeps the ’Ndrangheta away from the piazzas and focused on more sophisticated ways of making money, such as siphoning off European Union funds meant for agriculture and infrastructure. Meanwhile, the fact that foreigners are selling drugs on the street all over Italy is a major factor in the popularity of the right-wing League party and its anti-immigration “Italians First” rhetoric. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/10/italian-mafia-ndrangheta/615466/

Simply not credible.

Multiple issues

This article is currently a disaster. It is full of unconnected claims without any context, based on newspaper articles with little to no scientific backing.

Actually, the whole article needs to be revised and restructured. That is why I have tagged it with multiple issues. - DonCalo (talk) 00:10, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
