Balkanian oc groups such as the Albanian clans or Serbian racketeers are connected with the Southern Italian clans since the late 1990's

I mentioned Operation New Bridge in reply to a post on Gangster BB about another subject.

I indicated that the investigation, which culminated in arrests in February 2014, targeted the collaboration between the 'ndrangheta, Camorra, American LCN, and Sicilian CN. I previously thought a large number of those arrested were Calabrian born and part of the 'ndrangheta.

On the Italian end, law enforcement arrested people in the following provincie (regions in parentheses): Reggio Calabria, Catanzaro (Calabria); Benevento, Naples, Caserta (Campania); and Turin (Piedmont). Italian law enforcement also made arrests in New York City.

Raffaele Valente, who was arrested in New York, is from Benevento. More specifically, he was born in Montefalcone di Val Fortore, which is a comune in Benevento. There was a motley crew of criminals who were living and/or operating in or near Montefalcone di Val Fortore: Carlo Brillante, born in and living in Montefalcone di Val Fortore; Daniele Cavoto, born in Benevento (comune that is capital of the provincia) and living in Montefalcone di Val Fortore; Eugenio Ignelzi, born in Montreal and living in Ginestra degli Schiavoni (another comune of Benevento); Andrea Memmolo, born in Benevento and living in Montefalcone di Val Fortore; Antonino Francesco Tamburello, born in Partanna (Trapani, Sicily), whose residence is in Castelfranco in Miscano (another comune of Benevento) but was operating in Montefalcone di Val Fortore; and Francesco Vonella, born in Catanzaro, whose residence is in Girifalco (Catanzaro) but was operating in Montefalcone di Val Fortore.

interesting the Gambinos went from the Sicilian CN to the Ndrangheta for there source for cocaine. Also, interesting to note the top clan member of thr Ndrangheta was dealing with a Gambino Associate. he was part of the Zip crew tho.
