Thursday 20 February 2025 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
The next Baron's Briefing will be an online talk by Barry Moody entitled: "How Cosa Nostra lost its supremacy amongst Italy's mafias -- a modern history of Sicily's criminal society". Moody will explain how Cosa Nostra reached the peak of its power in the 1990s but then went too far, beginning a steady decline that has left it far from its former supremacy and eclipsed by a rival mafia from the Italian mainland. If you would like to attend the Briefing, please email baronsbriefing@gmail.com for the Zoom joining instructions, explaining your connection to Reuters or Thomson Reuters.
