Is there an Italian mafia in Argentina?
There is an Italian mafia presence in Argentina, especially the
Ndrangheta, the Calabrian mafia. The boss of the Neapolitan Camorra
was hiding in the Patagonias for years before he was caught. The
brother of Tomasso Buscetta, the famous Sicilian turncoat, was
murdered in front of his ice scream parlor in
Buenos Aires when his brother became an informant. Argentina is
more
like a sanctuary for many Italian born mobsters due to the fact
that many have
relatives in Argentina.
