Investigators say that the ill-fated Costa Concordia cruise ship was carrying a massive shipment of cocaine for one of Italy's most famous mafia syndicates. According to the criminal investigation published in La Repubblica, members of 'Ndrangheta were taped saying that the "same ship that made us a laughing stock around the world took the piss out of us, too." Police officers say the drugs, which were not found, were probably stowed on the boat with the complicity of a crew member, but slipped past senior officers. The Costa Concordia sank in 2012, killing 32 people. It's undergoing a two-year removal process.
