Quick Glance: How Italy’s 'Ndrangheta Mafia Allegedly Infiltrated Canadian Banks
- A Canadian faction of the 'Ndrangheta allegedly had close relationships with employees at two major Canadian banks to facilitate their financial activities.
- Angelo Figliomeni, the suspected mob boss, was at the center of the investigation, indicating that bankers were involved in the money laundering process of the group.
- The investigation revealed that the 'Ndrangheta organization generated income through illegal activities such as gambling and loan sharking, which were used for money laundering by bankers like Martino.

- Despite facing criticism for being dull and elitist, the program garnered a loyal audience and expanded to become the country's first national, hour-long nightly news broadcast in 1983.
