More than half Italian
16-18-year-olds, 52%, think the mafia is stronger than the
State, a survey by the anti-mafia Pio La Torre centre said
Monday.
Almost three quarters, 71%, think the State is not doing
enough to fight the mafia, said the centre named after the
Communist anti-mafia campaigner slain in 1982.
One of Italy's top anti-mafia prosecutors, Nino Di Matteo,
said he was not discouraged by the data.
After meeting Catania university students, he said: "I met
many young people passionate about truth and justice who want to
combat the mafia and the mafia mentality".
