A Law enforcement nightmare may be unfolding right now in Italy: the most important criminal organizations have stopped fighting among themselves and formed an alliance.
According to an annual report by the national anti-mafia agency (DIA), The main Italian ‘families’ have abandoned the usual turf wars and started collaborating in their bloody trade: drug trafficking, prostitution rings, money laundering, etc.
Reuters reported:
“Sicily’s Cosa Nostra and the Camorra around Naples are forming alliances at home and abroad, while the ‘Ndrangheta, based in Calabria in Italy’s southern toe, is increasingly focused on controlling public works projects, the report said.
‘Coexistence has fostered synergies that have progressively become structured’, DIA director Michele Carbone told a press conference. These structures had become ‘capable of absorbing overlaps, tensions and frictions’, he added.”
