The Pizza Connection was a partnership between the Sicialians and the Americans but now the big player in drug trade is the ndrangheta that dont need the help of what remain of the american mafia so the american wiseguys sell pills,weed or coke.
Matt Guglielmetti was linked to Dino Guilmette that was arrested for selling pills in Rhode Island.

I always find statements like this fascinating for 2 reasons...
1. The Americans had an active ban....from the Top, the Commision. Yet it's often presented like they were equal, ACTIVE partners... How do you reconcile that? which brings me to point 2...
2. The emphasis is always... " The Americans don't need drugs". Until you suggest the Sicilians managed the trade... then the Americans suddenly become partners, even as the rank and file are actively banned under punishment of death.
3. "ndrangheta that dont need the help of what remain of the american"....
This is precisely WHY I found BOTH Old and New Bridge so intriguing. In Old Bridge, the Sicilians DID need the Inzerillos contacts, and in New Bridge, the Ursino also accessed Gambino South American contacts. That was particularly interesting, as there are NUMEROUS Calabrian clans embedded in South America, so why not go through any one of them?
I find it seems, when you talk about Sicily or Calabria, some guys hear, " Fuck the Americans"....then the convo goes left....
