Spain New Haven For Mob

Spain is the new hub for mafia activity in Europe. In fact, my cousin in Paris explained to me it's far more entrenched and widespread than that. He went as far as to claim the mob - and the Calabrese in particular - control everything in Europe including politics. Madrid is to Europe what Montreal is to North America: A crucial point of entry.

“Germany is where the Italian mafias launder their money and is also a pick-up point for Eastern European arms’ sales. Spain is the operating base for drugs arriving from South America,” explained a Europol liaison officer.



Spain’s climate, its cultural and language similarities and, until recently, its reputation as a construction paradise, have converted Spain into a primary bolt hole for Italian capos."

As long as you have public officials willing to be on the take and greed drives people, the mob will always be there spreading like a cancer. It certainly feels that way.
