The investigation by the Reggio Calabria District Anti-Mafia Directorate allowed to shed light on the economic and political interests of the LIBRI gang, revealing how established local and regional entrepreneurs and politicians were totally subservient to the will of the criminal coterie as internal subjects or external competitors .
In particular, it has been ascertained that over the course of time, the cosca has favored some entrepreneurs who might have seemed detached from any mafia context, but in which they actually participated fully. These subjects, responding to the logic and strategies of entrepreneurial development planned by the top management of the gang and enjoying the hidden financing and the protections deriving from it, have assumed positions of absolute importance in their operational ambits, enjoying on one side the protection of the 'Ndrangheta, in order to start and grow their entrepreneurial activities exponentially, and finance it on the other.
