Reggio is located at the southernmost point of the Apennines in Italy.

As the capital of the Calabria region in southern Italy, this city separated from Sicily by a narrow strait is also the main activity area of ​​the Glory of the Italian Mafia organization.

Inside a mansion in the San Dao district in the south of the city surrounded by a high wall and rail network.

Taking advantage of the slack of police on the weekend, Horace Stefano, the head of the Stefano family who had been receiving the goods for two consecutive nights, slept throughout the day on Monday and did not get up until more than five o'clock in the afternoon.

Leaving the bedroom and going downstairs, just as he was about to order the servant to prepare some food, Horace Stefano’s wife reminded him that the family’s eldest brother Giorgio Stefano called and asked him to have dinner together after he woke up. , There is still something to talk about.

Saying goodbye to his wife, Horace Stefano walked out of the villa, teased the two pit bulls in the courtyard for a while, fed a pot of raw beef in the low growl of the two bulldogs, and patted it with satisfaction Clap your hands, the bodyguard has already prepared the car, and Horace's deputy Antonio Danieli, whom Horace has relied heavily on in the past two years, also rushed over from the nearby residence.

Just ask the bodyguard to call someone, Horace Stefano wants to know the distribution of the two batches of goods on the weekend, this matter is in charge of the three Danieli brothers.

The two got into Horace Stefano’s Benz bulletproof car, and the driver drove out of the Stefano’s house. Horace also asked about business.

After discussing for a while, Horace looked at Anthony Danieli, who seemed a little haggard recently, and suddenly asked: "Anton, why have you been so listless these days? Have you encountered something?"

Antonio Danieli felt Horace’s seemingly random but sharp gaze, and was shocked. He tried his best to control himself and didn’t show any strangeness. Following the other’s tone, he mocked himself: "Maybe it’s the little **** who spent time with Agnes. I have a lot of time, I'm so sorry, boss."

Horace Stefano knew the lascivious nature of his subordinate, and continued to look at the other person for a moment, and then smiled: "It's nothing, we are desperately working hard, not for this. However, always pay attention to the body."

Antonio Danieli also promised with a smile, and deliberately made an appearance that he didn't intend to repent much.

When Horace retracted his gaze, Antonio Danieli felt a thin layer of sweat on his back even if the cold wind was blowing in the cabin.

I can't help but pray for certain things to end soon.

Otherwise, Antonio Danieli didn't know that he could last a few days without being discovered.

The bulletproof Benz only took more than ten minutes to reach a commercial area in downtown Reggio from the suburbs of San Dao. The car stopped at the back door of a restaurant owned by the Glory Club. The bodyguard and driver in the front row got out of the car and looked around. Fan, only helped Horace Stefanola to open the door.

After getting out of the car, Horace Stefano quickly rushed into the back door of the restaurant under the cover of his hand, without any extra stops on the street.

As the godfather of a Mafia family, especially in a gang with constant internal strife, Horace Stefano can live by this kind of cautious behavior.

Inside the restaurant, in a lounge close to the back kitchen, Giorgio Stefano, the eldest of the Stefano family, has been waiting here. Compared to the 46-year-old brother who is still strong and sturdy, 59-year-old Giorgio Stefano's figure has begun to lose weight, and it does not seem to have the dangerous aura of a core figure in the Mafia family, but more like a scholar.

This is actually close to the truth.

Giorgio Stefano is the eldest of the six brothers in the Stefano family. After a slight improvement in the family back then, he was cleaned up in time. Now he is a lawyer who runs a family in Reggio. The law firm also actively participates in the political affairs of Calabria.

However, in the secret files of the Italian police, Giorgio Stefano is actually the "brain" of the Stefano family, mainly responsible for making suggestions, and also in charge of the money laundering work of the Stefano family.

Seeing his brother come in, Giorgio Stefano smiled and got up and hugged Horace, and he did not forget to greet Antonio Danieli, which seemed very friendly.

With a few words of greeting, the others were sent to eat in the hall, leaving only two brothers in the room.

When his staff came in and left after the delivery, Giorgio also asked about the two shipments that he had just taken over on the weekend.

In the face of his brother, Horace Stefano did not hide much, and said with excitement: "A ship was seized on the Sicilian side last week. This time it lost 1.5 tons. Colombia can't stand it. When receiving the goods on the weekend, Douglas said that he would transfer 30% of Sicily’s share to this side, which is 10% higher than we initially expected. The specific allocation needs to be discussed in detail, but basically it is between us and the north. Half of it."

As a coastal city, the city of Reggio stretches for more than 20 kilometers of coastline.

After the Second Glory Civil War from 1985 to 1991, with Reggio’s city centre as the term, the northern part of the city was classified as Condiro, Imetti and Serrano, and the southern part by Tega The three families of Novo, Stefano and Liberi occupy it.

The three families in the south, because of the civil war that year, the strength of the strongest Stefano family was severely injured, and even the then godfather Paul Stefano died in the conflict. Now the three families are the strongest. The Nuo family is headed, but in fact they are not under each other, just a relatively close alliance.

Because the Italian Mafia is different from the family gangs in other countries, there are many smaller families around these six families.

Antonio Danieli, who is trusted by Horace Stefano as a confidant, is the eldest of the three brothers of the Danieli family, and is a small force attached to the Stefano family.

Three years ago, the second Glory Society Civil War ended. With the mediation of the Mafia in Sicily and Campania, the Glory Society also began to set up gang committees, transforming from a loose family alliance to a pyramid-shaped gang, only because of the hatred of all parties. It is too deep. The current Glory Society Gang Committee is still only symbolic. It is mainly responsible for mediating disputes and avoiding another large-scale civil war. It does not have the substantive power of the old mafia gang committees such as "Our Career" and "Camora". And strong cohesion.

Giorgio Stefano was also a little excited when he heard Horace's words.

The Glory Society is neither as deeply entrenched as Sicily’s “our business” nor is it possible to rely on the superior geographical location of the world-class port city of Naples. Before the 1980s, the Glory Society could only be located in Calabria. The Italians are well-known as a small fight in the poverty zone.

Beginning in the 1980s, because famous mafia forces such as ‘Our Career’ and ‘Camora’ became the key targets of the Italian government, Latin American drug lords began to connect with the Glory Society due to the risk of cooperation.

Two years ago,'Our Career' assassinated the famous Italian anti-crime judge Giovanni Falco with great fanfare. He originally wanted to deter the Italian government, but it was self-defeating and led to a large-scale anti-crime wave. Cara, which borders Sicily Although the Mafia in Bria is inevitably implicated, it has not lost much in general. Instead, it continues to take over the business that the Sicilian mafia has no time to take care of and begins to accelerate its development.

The Latin American drug lord has been strengthening cooperation with the Honor Society in the past two years.

Unexpectedly, because of the mistakes made by Sicily last week, the Latin American drug lord directly increased the share of drugs that were originally intended to be transferred to the Glory Club again to 30%.

This is a huge business.

Calculating how much the 30% of the share that is about to take over will bring to the entire glory, Giorgio Stefano said: "In this case, we may need to find other money laundering channels, otherwise we can't digest that much. "

Horace Stefano said: "I'm also planning to discuss this with you. Joe, did you read the newspaper on the weekend? Last Friday, the Melisandre company and Bulgari reached an acquisition agreement. It seems that they are still negotiating to acquire the Swiss company Vacheron Constantin. I think maybe we can start with this company. Not to mention, just the Christie’s auction house under the Melisandre company can wash hundreds of millions of lire from a single auction item. This kind of efficiency, this restaurant under our feet has not been able to do it for hundreds of years."

Giorgio Stefano is mainly responsible for the money laundering of the Stefano family, and of course he is more familiar with it.

However, Giorgio was cautious and said: "Actually, you sent someone to the United States to warn Melisandre’s Sophia Fessi last month, and I felt wrong. Don’t forget, that woman is Simon Weiss Tello’s lover, a super-rich with a net worth of $300 billion, we better not provoke him."

Horace Stefano said dismissively: "Joe, you are too careful. The richer the guy, the more timid and afraid of death. We have seen this kind of people over the years, just like the one who has been hiding for so many years. The little tailor who dare not come back in the United States. Whether it’s Sophia Fissi or Simon Westeros, it seems to me the same. You can see that, after I asked me to warn, Melisandre’s company immediately reported It’s not scared to say that it will not acquire Versace."

Giorgio Stefano said: "I remember that the statement seemed to be made before you sent someone to the United States."

Horace Stefano waved his hand and said, "It doesn’t make a difference. Didn’t Melisandre’s target turn to Bulgari. So, Joe, I’m going to send Anton to the United States again, directly Kidnapped the two children of Sofia Fessy. Our requirements are not high. Melisandre only needs to clean up the growth share of our business. As long as the woman agrees, even if she wants that again The little tailor’s company is fine. Hey, I’m angry when talking about that little tailor. If it weren’t for Paul’s support, he, a poor boy from a small village outside Reggio, could not create a luxury empire. I really want to get rid of us."

Giorgio Stefano doesn't have the confidence of his rash brother. Even if there is a lot of water, he still got a lawyer's license at the university. Knowing a little more, I feel instinctively that it seems that we should not continue to provoke the powerful Westeros system.

The business empire of hundreds of billions of dollars is dozens of times more than any old chaebol in Italy.

It's just that, why can't you provoke it? Giorgio Stefano also said that he didn't quite understand that the rich Italians he was able to contact in these years were either respectful or shunned.

Now, after hearing so much from his brother, Giorgio quickly loosened up.

According to the estimates just now, the 30% share of the Colombian drug lord’s plan to transfer from Sicily this time is larger than all previous related businesses of the Glory Society. From the current situation, as the Italian authorities continue to suppress the Sicilian black hand The party, glorious will definitely take over more in the future.

Expansion of scale means huge capital flow.

If the huge amount of cash cannot be cleaned and circulated as soon as possible, it will definitely severely restrict the future development of the Glory Society.

Melisandre, which controls a large number of luxury brands and an international auction house, is indeed a suitable money laundering platform. As Horace just said, the auction turnover of a collection of Christie's auction house is enough for the restaurant and bar of the Glory Club dedicated to money laundering for hundreds of years.

Considering it for a moment, Giorgio Stefano nodded and exhorted: "Send some more people over this time, and don't hurt the children, otherwise things will be difficult to discuss."

Horace Stefano agreed, and the brothers continued to discuss some details while eating.

When he finished eating a three-mature steak on the plate, Horace Stefano put down the cutlery, remembered one thing, and asked: "Joe, before coming here, Shana said you have something to discuss with me?"

Giorgio Stefano also finished the meal. He was wiping the oil stains on his hands with his napkin. He stopped his movements and said, "Yes, did you find out? There seems to be a lot of strangers in Reggio recently?"

Horace Stefano narrowed his eyes. "Stranger?"

Giorgio Stefano nodded, put down his napkin, and his face became more solemn: "Yes, Nicholas, who was in charge of the bars in Linhai first reminded me. Moreover, I always feel a little uneasy these days, I know. You don’t believe this, but I had this feeling before Paul."

Reggio is the capital of Calabria. Even if it can’t be compared with Rome, Milan and other metropolises in Italy, hundreds of thousands of people gather on a coastline that stretches for more than 20 kilometers. Some cargo seaports that communicate with various places, and even many stowaways from Eastern Europe and North Africa like to land in Italy from here. It can be described as a mixed bag. The presence of strangers is normal and generally not noticeable.

However, since my brother said so, Horace Stefano immediately became vigilant: "Could the police also plan to do it on us?"

Giorgio Stefano shook his head and said: "That guy Nazari collects so much money from us every month, and the government and the police department also have a lot of our eyes. If the authorities intend to target us, there will be no news."

Horace Stefano raised his finger and pointed to the north side: "Condiro them?"

This time Giorgio Stefano was not sure.

It's not the police, it is indeed very likely that the three companies in the north have moved their minds.

Moreover, in connection with the Latin American drug lord’s recent plan to transfer more business shares to the Glory Club, Giorgio Stefano has more similar speculations.

Although everyone stopped the war three years ago, in the six-year civil war, so many people died, and the hatred was impossible to resolve.

Perhaps they were able to barely maintain peace in the past. This time, if the three companies in the north can monopolize all the business share transferred from Colombia, their own strength will be greatly improved, even if it is related to "Our Career" in the south and Camo in the north. It's not impossible to pull' shoulder to shoulder.

Even if it is clear in the heart that once the strength reaches the level of'our cause' and'Camora', it is easy to become the target of the Italian government. However, for the Mafia, the two major forces in Sicily and Campania , Is the ultimate goal of many people.

He noticed his brother’s silence and knew that he did not want to see the third Glory Society civil war again. However, Horace Stefano understood that some things could not be retreated, his expression quickly became fierce, and said, “I’ll wait. Just arrange this. No matter who is thinking about it, as long as I catch it, just chop it up and throw it into the sea."

Giorgio Stefano continued to hesitate for a while, but nodded, and said: "Don't let our family act. Please call Giuseppe and them later, and discuss it together."
