The Mazzaferro 'ndrina is a clan of the 'Ndrangheta, a criminal and mafia-type organization in Calabria, Italy. The 'ndrina is based in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica.[1]
In Northern Italy they are present in the Riviera di Levante in Liguria and in Turin, Susa and Bardonecchia. In Piedmont the contact person was their cousin Rocco Lo Presti, historic 'Ndrangheta boss of Bardonecchia and Val di Susa. Outside Italy the 'ndrina is present in Belgium, Germany and in the United Kingdom.[2]
The Mazzaferro were also present in the regions of Veneto and Lombardy, where the ndrina had created many "locali". However, in recent years, a law enforcement operation has led to the arrest of many affiliates, decimating the organization in these two regions.[3]
