On Monday, November 20th, 2023, an Italian tribunal convicted 207 people and sentenced them to a combined 2,100 years in prison for charges related to their membership in the 'ndrangheta organized crime syndicate. The 'ndrangheta is an international criminal organization known for its involvement in drug trafficking, extortion, and money laundering, estimated to have a turnover of €53 billion ($62 billion) a year. The convictions and sentences are a major victory in the fight against organized crime, showing that the 'ndrangheta and other criminal organizations must be held accountable for their actions.
