This article remind me something that Anna Sergi said yesterday on Twitter: Press talk about greco as like if he was a sort of Matteo Messina Denaro, while he was very likely a low ranking member or maybe even not a 'ndranghetista https://twitter.com/annasergi/status/16 ... 2185476096

he was a killer, he dissolved people in acid during a mafia war in Cosenza, i think he was a Ndrangheta member but not a boss

Yes I agree. Not a high ranking guy but probably a 'ndranghetista anyway

I have no idea why this arrest got so much coverage,got more coverage than Raffaele imperiale for example,who was one of most powerful drug traffickers in Europe. He was indeed a low ranking 'ndranghetista,

I can speak only from a French point of view, medias here talked about it because the story happened here and is quite unusual even if obviously it's not the first time a mafioso is arrested in France (very far from it but I guess you all know this guys ^^)

For the rest of the word I guess it's because Messina Denaro was arrested only few weeks ago.

the guy was not a ndranghetista, the people he worked for are loosely connected to the 'ndranghta themselves, in Cosenza there are urban gangs (especially 17 years ago) not ndrangheta.

i thought all the criminal groups in Cosenza were absorbed into the ndrangheta

Back in 2008, it was reported that 32 members of the Ndrangheta were detained from a clan in Cosenza??

The 2008 article refers to a group that has nothing to do with the clans of Greco so I am not sure what is it that you are trying to say? That there were some connections between a clan in Cosenza and the 'ndrangheta foes not mean that all OCGs in Cosenza were Ndrangheta. Cosenza CITY (the province is different) has had a very different OCG story. By 2017 the situation was already different.

yes, according to italian law mafia-type groups are very different than ordinary gangs
