Piromalli

The Piromalli is a powerful and influential clan (or 'ndrina) within the 'Ndrangheta, a Mafia-type criminal organization originating from Calabria, Italy. Based in Gioia Tauro, the Piromalli clan is considered one of the most important and wealthy families in the 'Ndrangheta, having accumulated considerable wealth through various illegal activities, including drug trafficking, extortion, public works contracts, and money laundering. They are known for their control over the port of Gioia Tauro, a major European hub for maritime transport, which they allegedly use to facilitate their criminal operations. The Piromalli clan's influence extends beyond Calabria, with reported connections to other criminal groups and business interests both in Italy and abroad. They are considered a significant threat to law enforcement and the stability of the region.
