Italy's mafia whistleblower
A member of the Mancuso family, one of the most powerful clans in the Calabrian mafia, testified against this criminal organisation. But what has the impact been?
Last year in Italy the biggest anti-mafia trial in 30 years reached a climax. On the stand were the Calabrian 鈥楴drangheta: they are estimated to run 80 percent of Europe鈥檚 cocaine and to make more money in a year than McDonalds and Deutsche Bank put together.
With access to mafioso-turned-collaborator Emanuele Mancuso, journalist Francisco Garcia looks at why Emanuele testified against his powerful family. What has this trial meant for the 'Ndrangheta? And has it changed life for Calabrians today?
