That's a tough job There's no alternative given what happened 30 years ago when Sicilian prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino Were blown up by bombs planted by its mafia cos'anostra Their murders were a defining moment in Italy's modern history their heroism still revered today Si certo si è spesso spesso se ho Parlo spesso con la morte ci raggiona perché bisogna razionalizzare la paura Per a poter andare avanti He's right.

Yeah, I heard about that, right? Use your imagination. I'm not even gonna explain it because I'm on I'm on probation from you to use your imagination Their branches operate right around the world and the group is now estimated to control up to 80% of Europe's cocaine trade La Guardia We're given extremely rare access to the bulk of the drugs that were kept Not my mindset but like this is what I mean You know, you know what I'm trying to say, right? This is how like They make 60 billion Amulet per year. So do you think they care about one billion dollars? That's the lip best light to them here take a billion so I can make 60 so I can make 59. I Wonder if that's how they be thinking Just curious just curious just asking questions trying to educate myself on what's going on around The current state around issues around the world and whatnot. That's all Uptured and what is inside here? This is our last seizure It was a seizure of four tons of cocaine. So there's four tons of cocaine. Yes. Yes. There was a value is about 800 million years The powder is tested with kits that look like something from the pandemic now detecting crime Not co vid. It's positive purity 98% 98% there's 2% of impurity so many questions So many questions if you got the same double questions, let me ask them in the comments so we can talk about it, please In 2019 a crackdown dawn raids in different countries netting more than 330 suspects Operating the Mankuzo clan one of the ruthless families making up the endangata Italy's biggest anti-mafia trial since the 1980s Ongoing for the past two years is in a converted call center to cope with the size With over 600 lawyers and 900 witnesses Charges include murder extortion and drug trafficking One of the 335 suspects is an XMP the giant court room Hundreds of defendants and lawyers is intended to prove to Italians that their state is striking the endangata But equally it's only one albeit powerful clan on trial out of an estimated 150 and while it shows that the endangata isn't untouchable There's no sense here that this is the beginning of the end of the Calabrian mafia So for Nicola gratieri the work and the threat doesn't stop Like roving doing this for 33 years and he just now making a break in it like I'll just be thinking sometimes like you cut off one somebody some worse is gonna happen Some where do you somebody worse is gonna come up behind? The mafia fighter is dogged Determined but proud of this milestone I regardato Come capi the imputation and come contestation He rapporti con la politica irapporti col mondo delle profession e guardi rapporti con l'economia the endangata perde you at least Il 70 percent della provincia di vibro renzi di quel territorio con questo processo con questo progetto Come la sua vita Non ho una vita c'è non vivo mai solo per entrare in un bar a prendere un caffè Durante la strada Dobbiamo discutere poi ci fermiamo entra uno paga poi entriamo noi prendere il caffè oppure Dobbiamo anche discutere dove fermarsi per andare in bagno C'è io non vado al ristorante non vado al cinema da un 25 anni 30 anni You're not missing out Those like Sara and Francesco who endured the unimaginable Bearing their only child Matteo blown up in a car bomb in 2018 by the mancosos The endangata clan on trial today after a prolonged dispute over land Meters away from his grave lies the family tomb of his killers How many more generations will be soaked in Calabria's blood feuds? Finché Non cambia la mentalità Delle persone Non cambierà What she just said you know how hard it is to change somebody's mentality This is engraved in through generations and generations and generations No, we don't be a moseminar Come a procurator a gratteri come it took to get No, you know seguiamo le or me the question Si resta è bloccati lì con l'andrangheta qui che comanda io bisogno di appoggio di combattere Di andare in prima linea E gridare nel paese per le vie del paese qui l'andrangheta deve andare via questo non è il paese dell'andrangheta degli ingranitisti questo è il paese di Matteo Racconti mi un po com'era Matteo era la gioia di vivere Un ragazzo educato Eccezionale non c'è mai risposto una parola contraria e sono orgogliosa e fiera di essere stata la mamma di Matteo E di avere avuto Matteo come figlio De le volte lo chiede Dio Doveri quando Matteo morì E la ora mi dice era li Che lo portava con El Dura gioia Haniva completely changed the way We travel away from Calabria to northern Italy to find that rare thing and and drag the turncoat With the group founded on blood ties Disloyalty means betraying your own family and few have dared to do so Luigi Bonaventura uses his name, but hides his face so he won't be recognized by Pigi Bonaventura uses his name, but hides his face So he won't be recognized by those he turned against 16 years ago He's been under police protection ever since Now testifying in the Mancuso trial he offers a glimpse into the dark world of mafia indoctrination Una tribuse così vogliamo dirla Però se nasci mentre comunque quella famiglia sta affrontando delle guerre Tu non puoi fare altro che crescere con l'isticazione dell'audio con l'isticazione alla violenza quindi le parole ricorrenti Erano sempre le stesse a mazzare a mazzare a mazzare quindi vengo cresciuto le tremente da bambino Fultato quindi all'uso delle armi da giovanissimo. Di sono stato una cellula drumiente. C'è un killer drumiente Io mi sono trovato coinvolto in cinque omicidi Tre che ho partecipato e due invece che mi sono trovato direttamente E coinvolto how important do you think this trial is for the fight against the end of that? La drangata on ecco Sanosa la drangata on ecco c'è un capo di capi come è stato con cosa nostra Arresti restirina e crolla la struttura. La drangata una una testa la drangata è un mostro e un idra a tante teste il trempo che la Like I need the Avengers or something Captain Italian Why did you decide to become a turncoat of collaborator? Say the right word This is a very elegant way of putting it. Why did you decide to become a turncoat of collaborator? Di di di di di spezzare una catena. Allora mi è una scelta d'amore. Dai miei figli la possibilità di scegliere quella che io non mai avuto Perhaps the only way Italy can prize itself from the grip of the entragata is indeed for the next generation to choose a different path That is what's driving these students some from Calabria others from the north Planting and clearing land seized from the entragata It's a project organized by the anti mafia association libera Educating and guiding youngsters away from organized crime Mafia is a big problem for this part of Italy, but we know that this organization are spread all over the world and so it's important to make people aware of this problem and also make people sure that this organization can be defeated by the law we are the future and it's it's fundamental that we have faith in the state and the government and not in the mafia and illegality So what of the future for those trying to free this tormented land from the entragata lurking around every corner the young and the seasoned fighter Tenacious but often alone in his struggle Hero to many enemy of some Nicola Gratteri escaped the mafia's clutches when he was a boy Can he get his country to do the same? Today, I would be a mafia leader I was fortunate because I was born in a family of good people Many of my classmates from school were killed in the opium Some of them did the indagery and made them land for weapons and drugs Italy could never get rid of the mafia I think not No, no, even this dude He's been in the pipe for 33 years He don't even think I mean, what do we expect them to say? Good answer, I guess But you got to have that mindset, man Every small victory is a win, so Do you have any plans? Everything in life is priceless, right? To have a normal life, I have to go slower I have to, maybe, work less But I would have felt like a villain And for me, living as a villain doesn't make sense Like, comment, subscribe, let me know what y'all think Man, I'm calm
