World Wide Mafia, ‘Ndrangheta, previews
Nicola Gratteri, we read in the synopsis, a Calabrian magistrate under guard for over thirty years, led in 2019 the largest operation ever attempted against the ‘Ndrangheta, the Scott Rebirth operation. From the investigations that revealed the global power of the Calabrian criminal organization to the maxi-trial that involved over 400 defendants, the series tells of a war of justice and courage in a land marked by fear and silence. Among death threats, betrayals and redemptions, figures emerge of magistrates, repentants and victims who choose not to bend. Gratteri and his team face their longest battle, while Calabria and the world witness a trial that could change the fight against organized crime forever.
The series, which follows Gratteri during the years in which he was the Prosecutor of the Republic of Catanzaro, will allow viewers to discover his personal story and the daily reality of his struggle, following his work as “commander in chief” of an investigation involving secret services, carabinieri, military units and special forces.
