The Papalia 'ndrina is a clan of the 'Ndrangheta, a criminal and mafia-type organisation in Calabria, Italy. The 'ndrina is based in the city of Platì, having strong ramifications in Northern Italy since the 1970s, particularly in the southern area of Milan, with their stronghold in the city of Buccinasco. The 'ndrina originated as a branch of the powerful Barbaro 'ndrina, and is allied with the Sergi, and Trimboli 'ndrine, all of whom originate from Platì. Their main activity is drug trafficking, including cocaine and heroin, and during the 1980s, they were also involved in extortion. In recent years, they have expanded their operations to manage contracts and subcontracting in the construction industry. In the metropolitan area of Milan, they also hold influence over the municipalities of Corsico, Cesano Boscone, Trezzano sul Naviglio, and Gaggiano. The 'ndrina also operates in Australia, in particular in the Griffith, New South Wales area, where it is also allied to the Barbaro and Sergi 'ndrine.
