The Mafia Has Liquidity

And in a cash crunch...well you do the math.

Writer Roberto Saviano offers his thoughts on how the EU should fight the mafia and even imparts an opinion about Assange.

“The Mafia is not only an Italian problem,” he said. “Europe is today experiencing a liquidity shortage and the mafia has a lot of money. So they are infiltrating the European business world and the European banking system. The criminal economy today is the first economy, with a turnover of more than $100 billion per year...”

"...Apart from Italy, other European countries do not even have the crime of mafia association in their national legislation. At least the UK, Spain, Germany and France don’t have it. On the other side, Italy has among the best anti-mafia legislation in the world, but there are still many problems...."


On Assange:

"Instead of focusing on supposed sexual crimes, the authorities should look at how he ended up doing what he did. They are just trying to discredit Assange. This is unacceptable."
