Seen from Italy, this looks a little excessive. It's true that Italian organized crime dominates narcotraffic, which is a huge source of revenue. It's also true that they are very globalized now. But, except for a few selected areas, their penetration inside Italian society is not what it use to be. Loan sharking, protection rackets, and the like are not anywhere close as pervasive as they were in the '70s and '80s. The days were citizens would go to the local mafioso asking for a favor are past. If you are looking for a reason for Italy's economic stagnation, demography, high taxes, a slow and inefficient judicial system, and byzantine red tape, are a more likely culprit.
Agree but disagree. Dont you think the reasons like high taxes, a inefficient judicial system, and byzantine red tape are classic reasons for Mafia to thrive? In India they do!
Are you working for the N'Drangeta ?!!
@@peterfox6159I just was about to write it 😂
In Montreal (yes, in Canada) there is a “Mafia” section of the local newspaper. Every once in a while someone with an Italian family name is killed under unclear circumstances.
Canada is pretty lawless nowadays, islamists, mafia and khalistanis all are active here
This is seriously funny! Can you please share the newspaper web link?
If you don’t give them your money or refuse to get shaken down , do they apologize and leave ?
Pretty wild to see how well the Mafia is doing now
Corruption, Bureaucracy, and Crime are the main killers of any county's progress..
As a Mexican this makes me laugh , you should see our criminals here .
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
It would be nice to watch video that explore the influence of mafia in other countries
Sad to see the mafia are not in community building anymore.
lol I thought the mafia was just a meme, a joke to tell Italian expats and tourists. I didn't know they were a big problem I thought they sold counterfeit olive oil.
Ahhh I see a fellow Johnny Harris enjoyer as well.😁
You must be young. Smh
The reason you don't hear about the mafia much nowadays is cos there's less bloodshed. Also they have plenty of legitimate business as well nowadays, where they just 'nudge' out the competition. But they're very much still a thing.
in southern France we call the Italian Mafia Corsican
Wow! A channel that doesn't just combine generic video and image material with AI generated translations of Wikipedia pages!
It is practically impossible… you should start by deploying the army in order to control the territory…..
Mussolini actually did a lot exactly by using the army and with complete disregard of laws, but then Americans put the mafia in power again to help them during the invasion.
Italy needs to train and deploy an army of Robert McCall Equalisers.
Awesome
People just can't seem to live in harmony, the ones that are actually good and would make the world a better place will never have a chance to do so because of the old minds in power and the mafia. Everything is just greed for money and power..
Why don’t these videos have more views? This channel is amazing.
They stopped posting for a while when Grant left which is bad for the algorithm
I thought that happened in the 1930's already.
Governments need to move to digital money too keep track, and control, of their economy.
and also control all of your money as well as dictate how you can or cannot spend them. CBDS is evil...
Which could potentially get hacked...
you forgot waste management/recycling !
For example, approve a law that separates investing and managing a private company. The original founder of the company could accept a new member, but there should be a delay of 10 years and there should be exclusive choices betweeen being part of the management OR invest funds. That would at least loose 10 years to the mafias, with the correspond inflation.
No mafias are not as powerful as they were until mid 90s (if you wanna know the partial reason for that, search info about the infamous "state-mafia pact"). The elephant in the room that this video doesn't address is that mafias have been a tool for politics to control people since the foundation of Italy in 1861. If mafia is allowed to exist and invest in legit business (but without paying taxes) in economically depressed regions with astonishing unemployment, people develop loyalty to the boss instead then politics because "Mafia gives us a decent job, the state only oppressed us". As of today, destroy mafia has been removed from political agenda of every party and the south is receiving less and less money from a north-driven government
Nothing you stated is true
Italy is probably the only country that has specific laws capable of tackling mafia-style organized crime. However, with global financial markets, it is not too difficult to clean money abroad (investing even large amount of cash in countries like US is not deeply scrutinized) and reinvest it legally into the North of Italy (I'd be curious to find the roots of some foreign investments) and the rest of Europe. I'd suggest to abolish cash and create a legal currency linked nominally to the owner.
😮
Eu need to do something about it, like sending military
The military isn't going to do shit. There's no mafia army to fight against.
There's just thousands of ordinary citizens with ordinary jobs and lives, who sometimes happen to collaborate with the mafias.
The standard anti-mafia tactic is just: follow the money and arrest the big fish.
And the best anti-mafia strategy for a State is: take care of your citizens, so that mafias won't take care of them in your place.
Already tried, the only one who achieved something was Mussolini who simply waged open war against them without respecting any law. But then the Americans brought mafia again to help them during their conquest of Sicily.
The Nazi party of Italy destroyed mafia. But brought back by Allied forces. You should try Encounter model used In India.
The Italian mafia is largely localized in terms of organized crime.
The real threat in Europe comes from Balkan mafia groups. Serb and Albanian groupings in particular, although they tend to be multi national. Largest importers of cocaine, marijuana and heroin.
Important players in illegal weapon smuggling with even links to Terrorism, and in ISIL in particular. It goes back to a 1970's and 80's project of the Communist governments simply... exporting the problem away, offering them a strong foothold in central, western Europe and Scandinavia. A particularly brutal Mafia war saw close to 15 public executions last year across Europe...
Wow, I thought mafia was replaced by Jihadists...
This sounds like the OMG problems of North america, which even Canada mostly dismantled in recent times.
Make them "sleep with the fishes"
...if you know what I mean.
Happening for a very long time. Who funded soup kitchens in 1930s US depression?
And that is how mafia works...
01:30 - The Sopranos 🇮🇹 yep
I loved that series!
Fuhgeddaboudit
Gabagool
I am gonna go get the papers, get the papers.😂😂😂😂
Not even thinking about the Italian Mofia because of the Mexico, Central and South American Cartels.
Italian mafia operates in latin America as well
Go Italy !
3:54 I think is not a case that speaking about Mafia, the Unicredit's CEO (Unicredit is one of the most powerful bank in Europe, even more solid than Deutsche Bank) was spotted. Anyway, if USA hadn't reintroduced Mafia in Italy in 1943 (Mafia helped US Navy to enter in Sicily), things in Italy would have been considerably better than this.
Mafia also helped CIA to get communism under control and fuel fascist terrorists with weapons but this is another story (check out "operation gladio" if you are interested)
Finaly the first
el salvador approach perhaps
Mussolini did that and he succeeded. Mafia was an obstacle to his plans so he decided to kill or jail anyone that was associated or simply suspected to be associated with any crime family. Then, Italy lost the war (see the historical details on Allied invasion of Sicily, operation Husky and the involvement of the CIA for reference) and the "Mafiosi" had handed control of several local governments. In short, these events influenced the course of Italy as a Republic, "free" of fascism but with plenty of criminals at all levels of governments. Since then, Italy has never been free of corrupt politicians. So we escaped the fascist regime and replaced it with a decentralized criminal organisation instead. Please do not think that I am a fan of Mussolini but historically that was the period where the Mafia was at his lowest point. The criminals were running away not to get caught and this pretty much is the moment where the Mafia also arrived in the US.
@@SimoCalandra well ... OSS ... not CIA ... But I think of El Salvador as being inviting foreign investment unlike the Fascists that wanted autarky kind of national socialism and economic control.
@@nkristianschmidt OSS, ok thank you for correcting me. Otherwise, I missinterpreted you suggestion as with the "El Salvador" (Bukele) approach... I thought about getting rid of the criminality.
@@SimoCalandra Neither approach gets rid of it, but El Salvador has done well so far. Now it's just covert rather than overt. Getting rid of crime requires a pervasive and constant pressure against crime, either via a powerful state and surveilance, or via a strong and armed societal culture.
@@nkristianschmidt Of course - unfortunately in Italy many cities (especially in the South) do not have enough policing so they fail to provide that constant pressure which you have rightfully identified as a necessaty to be able to "fight"... Also, because of that ever presence of corrupted institutions and politicians, the laws in Italy are not efficient either. Just picture this: The Italian parliament is made of several politician that are either being investigated or are currently investigated for various level involvement with criminal organizations. So, as you can imagine, the giustice system remains influenced by politicians that push against improving the laws in such a way that could make the "clean-up" efforts more efficient. These politicians receive votes that are "acquired" the mafia in exchange of favours, job promises, money, etc...) Anyway, there is so much that could be added to this conversation. Italy has a very complicated history - you would say "who doesn't?" and I would agree.
Troyan?
The problem is not really properly explained. At the end of the process, when a municipality is liberated or a business is cleaned up in the rare cases where the old owner comes out clean Is the market ruined due to the negative publicity in the newspapers and where does the business remain but all the people go to prison? The business remained closed for decades before being given to a Social cooperative.
In the end if at all this something survive? A different mobster arrives to do the same thing again
Pretty delayed bud, this happened 40 years ago
This couldn't be any worse than his totally delusional video about how Canada has a good economy.
The Canadian economy is great if you work in oil or mineral extraction.
Stop promoting $100 wallets.
Especially the ones you can't put actual money in.
mexican Cartels makes Billions of human smuggling alone i doubt they make more all the Mexican Cartels Combined
Guys, please ask natives for pronunciation

Thus the world needs an alternative political system. The China system.
Where is FBI CIA and others party's ? DEA FED......
Jesus warned us what will be upon the earth prior to His return...in all my years, Im seeing it come to pass. It is a time of darkness and light.
My faith only grows stronger as I have watched the unfolding of it all. There is some sorrow for those who reject Jesus.
However, Im also longing for His return.
No more evil or wicked will remain.
I believe in Gods word.
My life experience has proven He is able to get it done. Whatsoever the will of the Father.
Hope you get it...
it has been like this forever my friend.
yeah, lets not find a solution, just keep praying
Let our faith of the LORD who so loved the world be your guiding faith Brother/Sister. Jesus is the LORD and those who submit(belive) to HIM, will not be put to shame.
Learn to pronounce mafia omg that's annoying
