More details about Mofia in Thunder Bay have surfaced

More details surrounding the mafia cell reportedly operating in Thunder Bay has come out. The National Post says information from investigations in Italy say the Ndrangheta has ramped up recruitment in Thunder Bay and is planning on becoming active again. The probe says members from Thunder Bay met with the organizations top boss Giuseppe Commisso recently in Siderno Italy. The reports say prosecutors have named several members in Thunder Bay ranging from 53 to 73 years old. All were born in Siderno and at this point are not facing charges. Recorded discussion with Commisso say the Thunder Bay Chapter has done nothing for decades but want to become active in the community again.  Thunder Bay police are investigating the reports and spokesperson Chris Adams says considering the secretive nature of the Ndrangheta it isn't surprising they have been able to keep a low profile.  Adams also says this is the first large scale overseas crime organization to be found operating in Thunder Bay.
