Hundreds of alleged members of Italy s most powerful mafia group are set to face justice in the country s biggest organised crime trial in decades.
The 355 suspected mobsters and corrupt officials were charged following a long inquiry into the Ndrangheta group.
More than 900 witnesses are expected to give evidence, and the charge sheet includes murder, drug trafficking, extortion and money laundering.
The trial began on Wednesday and is expected to last more than two years.
