I have removed the claim that evidence supports the pre-1955 appearance of the word 'Ndrangheta. There is a failure here to understand that the dates assigned to journals and multi-volume works on Google Books do not necessarily correspond with the date of its "snippet view" articles. (1) The citation from ''Keesing's Contemporary Archives'' mentions an arrest "in Naples on March 1, 1984." So it is not from 1931. (2) The ''Enciclopedia italiana di scienze, lettere ed arti'' citation is taken from the "Quinta appendice" supplementary volume (1979-1992) (as per the Google Books front page photo). So it is not from 1938. (3) The ''Notes et études documentaires'' snippet view citation mentions an event which took place in December 1990. So it is not from 1949.

Supposed pre-1955 use of the word 'Ndrangheta

I have removed the claim that evidence supports the pre-1955 appearance of the word 'Ndrangheta. There is a failure here to understand that the dates assigned to journals and multi-volume works on Google Books do not necessarily correspond with the date of its "snippet view" articles. (1) The citation from Keesing's Contemporary Archives mentions an arrest "in Naples on March 1, 1984." So it is not from 1931. (2) The Enciclopedia italiana di scienze, lettere ed arti citation is taken from the "Quinta appendice" supplementary volume (1979-1992) (as per the Google Books front page photo). So it is not from 1938. (3) The Notes et études documentaires snippet view citation mentions an event which took place in December 1990. So it is not from 1949. 213.205.241.233 (talk) 21:14, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should we add this?

In Italy, the ’Ndrangheta sells cocaine to other crime groups—often Albanian or Nigerian—who in turn sell it on the street. Such outsourcing keeps the ’Ndrangheta away from the piazzas and focused on more sophisticated ways of making money, such as siphoning off European Union funds meant for agriculture and infrastructure. Meanwhile, the fact that foreigners are selling drugs on the street all over Italy is a major factor in the popularity of the right-wing League party and its anti-immigration “Italians First” rhetoric. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/10/italian-mafia-ndrangheta/615466/ The Atlantic Can Italy Defeat Its Most Powerful Crime Syndicate?
