blogpost 7:What the life of Mafia brought to the world

Mafia brought us a world with no fear, hope and freedom of will into this world. As of today, at this present time, in some part of the world, the mafia still dominates in different cimes. One of wich is that the mob create new ways to extort money. They have made connections on big banks, and different companies and industries. According to this article entitled: Italian Mafia Rakes in Billions as Global Economy Struggles at the website foxnews.com, the mafia never stop on growing, even as the global economy struggles, the mafia just sits and relax on their golden life. 

The crime syndicates are flush with billions of euros from extortion rackets, drug trafficking and booming sales in fake designer clothing made in China expressly for the Italian mob. While businesses around the world are struggling down for survival, the Italian mob is living a golden moment. The Mafia used brutal force and terror to make sure the peasants worked hard and didn't cause trouble. Revolts were repressed violently, often with the help of the army or more often the police. No wonder so many Sicilians left for America. “Coffee, water, fruit, bread, milk, meat, cheese, and even biscuits are all products of organized crime,” says author and journalist Roberto Saviano, who lives under police protection after receiving death threats from the Neapolitan Camorra, one of Italy's Naples-based organized-crime syndicates. 


Going back to the money, I found this article entitled:  Mafia now "Italy's No.1 bank" as crisis bites: report by James Mackenzie on the website reuters.com, extortionate lending by criminal groups had become a "national emergency," said the report by anti-crime group SOS Impresa. Organized crime now generated a turnover of about 140 billion euros ($178.89 billion) and profits of more than 100 billion euros. Until now, the mafia still controls the biggest companies and industries and is living in mansions. Taking a gold shower and is never stopping. In many ways the feds can find a way to stop this, but what if a member of the feds is a mobster, this madness won't ever stop.
