“The mafias will exploit the difficulties of the market and the trend of the war itself, to acquire advantages, on the one hand on products, on the other on weapons”. Thus the National Anti-Mafia Prosecutor, Federico Cafiero de Raho. “We think of the prices and products that can be more easily found or stolen from the market to develop maximum speculation or the possibility of acquiring weapons through illegal parallel paths – added de Raho -. The war in Ukraine will determine the operating profiles of organized crime. , which certainly will not have to respect the banking channels for its liquidity “.

“Whenever there is an emergency, the mafias try to exploit the channels in which they can infiltrate and profit from them, a mechanism of advantage for the mafias that has been replicated and that has been repeatedly detected in judicial history – added de Raho – Just think of the wiretapping that was detected immediately after an event such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, when one of the mafia members said to the other: ‘go and buy everything you can’ “.
