While this topic is very much outside my wheelhouse or typical field of interest, there was a major story of a multinational bust-up of the group reported by CNN today (05/22/2019):

:It doesn't mention the 'Ndrangheta by name for the bust today, only a previous unrelated bust.

"The etymological approach is criticised by some historians.

The Moretti clan is a group of the societa foggiana, and is allied to the ndrangheta and the Camorra, as we can see in this article - https://www.immediato.net/2018/02/06/societa-foggiana-ecco-chi-comanda-ora-scalata-al-potere-dei-moretti-sostenuti-da-camorra-e-ndrangheta-sinesi-in-difficolta/

However, the [[Società Foggiana]] is also a division of [[Sacra Corona Unita]], who are allies, so then I'm not sure if it's necessary to list them both.

This bit does not seem to make much sense. The second sense seems to confirm the etymological approach, not criticize it.

Etymology section

"The etymological approach is criticised by some historians. John Dickie argues that "the flattering connotations of the word 'Ndrangheta (courage, martial prowess, manliness) indicate that the 'Ndrangheta as a social phenomenon was rooted in the same positive values, and that it only later degenerated into criminality." "

This bit does not seem to make much sense. The second sense seems to confirm the etymological approach, not criticize it. Rodrigo de Salvo Braz (talk) 03:20, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
