Commisso 'ndrina
Commisso 'ndrina is a powerful clan of the 'Ndrangheta, a criminal organization based in Calabria, Italy. The 'ndrina is named after its founding member, Cosimo Commisso, and is primarily involved in various forms of organized crime including drug trafficking, extortion, and money laundering.
History[edit | edit source]
The Commisso 'ndrina was established in the late 19th century in the town of Siderno, Calabria. The clan's influence expanded significantly under the leadership of Cosimo Commisso in the mid-20th century. Commisso was known for his strategic acumen and ruthless approach to dealing with rivals, which allowed the 'ndrina to become one of the most powerful in the 'Ndrangheta.
Activities[edit | edit source]
The Commisso 'ndrina is involved in a wide range of criminal activities. These include drug trafficking, with the clan playing a significant role in the international cocaine trade. The 'ndrina is also heavily involved in extortion, using threats and violence to coerce businesses into paying protection money. Money laundering is another key activity, with the clan using a variety of methods to disguise the illegal origins of their wealth.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The structure of the Commisso 'ndrina is hierarchical, with the highest-ranking members making the key decisions. The 'ndrina is led by a boss, who is typically a member of the Commisso family. Below the boss are the underboss and consigliere, who assist in the running of the 'ndrina. The rest of the clan is made up of soldiers, who carry out the 'ndrina's criminal activities.
Influence[edit | edit source]
The influence of the Commisso 'ndrina extends beyond Italy. The clan has established strong ties with criminal organizations in other countries, including the Mafia in the United States and the 'Ndrangheta branches in Canada and Australia. This international network allows the 'ndrina to operate on a global scale, trafficking drugs and laundering money across borders.
