The Pelle 'ndrina, also known as the Pelle-Vottari, are a clan of the 'Ndrangheta, a criminal and mafia-type organisation in Calabria, Italy. They are among the most influential 'ndrine of the 'Ndrangheta having members who regularly reside in the advisory and top management bodies of the organization, in particular in the Ionian mandamento and in the crimine. They are also present in Milan and its metropolitan city.[1]
The clan is active in the international trafficking of cocaine, for which it has contacts with the Colombian drug cartels,[1] and in the appropriation of contracts and extortion. Its corrupt influence in regional elections was documented in the 2010 Reale investigation.[2]
