The level of mafia infiltration of
the Italian business world is concerning, the chair of the
parliamentary Anti-Mafia Commission Chiara Colosimo told an ANSA
Forum Tuesday.
"All of the organised crime organisations have decided to go
after the economic fabric: that of the drug markets, which act
as the real ATM for these organisations, and the increasingly
worrying one of infiltrations into the business world, which
must alert us, because the resources available to the National
Recovery and Resilience Plan, and not only, must serve to make
development and not cash for the clans," she said.
Colosimo also said institutions and police needed to be "more
incisive" in their action against corruption.
"We need to update the Anti-Mafia Code, in particular the
offences under letter 'I' art. 4 with the recognition of
corruption for the corrupt and the corruptor, on corruption we
must be more incisive, more clear-cut", she said in answering a
question from ANSA Eeditor-in-Chief Luigi Contu amid various
graft probes including ones in Puglia and Liguria.
Colosimo added that the Anti-Mafia Commission "has opened a
strand on the latest investigations from Puglia to Liguria, but
all the alert lights are on, to give an up to fate picture to
Parliament of what methods organised crime is using to
infiltrate the public administration in Italy".
