An Italian tribunal on Monday convicted 207 people and sentenced them to a combined 2,100 years in prison on charges related to their membership in Italy’s ’ndrangheta organized crime syndicate, one of the world’s most powerful, extensive and wealthy drug-trafficking groups.
After close to a three-year-long trial, hundreds of accused individuals associated with one of the country's most influential organised criminal groups, the 'Ndrangheta', face sentencing.
