Dismantling the transmission cipher of Italian mafia

Italian police finally got the key to decipher the mysterious communication messages among the gang members of the infamous' Ndrangheta.

Over the years, 'Ndrangheta, an organized criminal gang from the Calabria region, south of Italy, has resisted both police and rivals to gain control of the drug trade in Rome.

According to the Ghanaian news agency, Italian police can now decipher an important record book of the 'Ndrangheta. The book is said to provide information on the ancient modalities of the gang.

The book with the captured documents helped to better understand the birth of the Italian mafia. 'Ndrangheta believes, the organization is run by one of three Spanish knights who killed a man to save his sister's face and exiled to Favignana Island in Sicily. At Favignana, these people wrote the first code of conduct and created silent laws "omertà" (honorary law prohibits Sicily people from denouncing the sinful actions of related people, which is considered a foundation for loyalty of Italian mafia), before splitting up to build secret societies.

A knight came to Sicily and founded Cosa Nostra. The second knight went to Naples and founded the Camorra. The other person went to Calabria and gave birth to the 'Ndrangheta.

"'Ndrangheta considers Rome an integral part of their criminal project. Some members of' Ndrangheta declare: Rome is the future. The Rome market plays a strategic role, helping the cumulative gangs Crime of power and economics " , anti-mafia judge Michele Prestipino said.

For the past two decades, police and Italian prosecutors have had strong raids on the Sicilian mafia - the country's most powerful criminal network for decades. At the same time, however, in the southern region of the country, 'Ndrangheta grew stronger by becoming one of Europe's largest cocaine importers.

According to police, in order to expand the arms to control the illegal drug trading market in Rome, the Ndrangheta sent an assassin to kill an opposition tycoon two years ago. When those assassins were caught by police last year, one of them provided essential information and evidence to help authorities make big arrests this week.

Investigation agencies determine:  'Ndrangheta has an ambition to monopolize the drug market in Rome, turning them into brokers for other criminal gangs operating in the same area. The Ndrangheta has established logistics bases for them in the three cities of Genoa, Milan and Turin, as well as sending representatives to contact with the manufacturing organizations - the most powerful cocaine trade in Colombia . Of the 31 suspects pursued, four were arrested in Spain and only one was still running away.
