    Italy's biggest trial in decades takes aim at 'the most powerful, hard, violent mafia there is'

    "
    In a vast courtroom in Calabria, Italy, 350 people are on trial in the biggest and most important organized crime case in over 30 years. The landmark trial pits the ruthless mafia group, the ’ngrangheta, against lead prosecutor Nicola Gratteri, who has devoted his life to taking it down.

    Murder, drug trafficking, abuse of office and money laundering are some of the charges that will be heard. The courtroom will see around 900 witnesses over the next 12 months, with 400 lawyers in attendance."

    Good to see they're cracking down, it is an endless fight but the Italians have made great strides against 'The Octopus'.
