From the show
Italy's southern Puglia region is the territory of the Sacra Corona Unita, also known as the "fourth mafia". Less well known than Cosa Nostra, the Camorra or the 'Ndrangheta, the criminal group is still very powerful. It has infiltrated all sections of Italian society, from local firms to public administration. Our reporters went to meet a group of women who are taking on this mafia group, despite the risks to their own lives.
Comprised of about 500 members, nearly all of them men, the Sacra Corona Unita has specialised in drug trafficking and racketeering. Yet in Puglia, a group of women have decided to take on the powerful criminal group, in spite of the risks.
Our Italy correspondents followed these brave women – a prosecutor, a journalist, a police commander and the daughters of a mafia victim – who have seen their lives turned upside down by their fight against the mafia.
