Judicial investigations in Calabria have uncovered various methods of ’Ndrangheta mafia infiltration into legitimate economic sectors. In one instance, the Grande Aracri clan was found to have established a monopoly over funeral services and the coffin business between the Catanzaro coast and the province of Crotone. Investigations suggest that through an economic-criminal entanglement, the clan secured a 50% share of business profits, utilized hidden corporate shares, and imposed specific suppliers. Separately, the ‘Epicentro’ investigation revealed that the Tegano clan infiltrated the labor market, specifically targeting Ferrovie dello Stato and cleaning companies. This system reportedly involved criminal pressure and collusion with union representatives to control hiring processes. Investigators documented instances where jobs were allegedly sold for fees, such as 10,000 euros, to direct new hires and secure public contracts. Recent developments in the Melicucco operation have further detailed the group’s influence over the labor market. Authorities uncovered a strategic alliance between the Costa family and the Piromalli clan intended to exert direct influence over hiring processes at a new Amazon logistics hub in the Piana region. This involved criminal figures personally delivering resumes to bosses to secure positions for associates.
