Business Is Booming for the Italian Mafia During COVID

  • The coronavirus hit Italy like a freight train. By March 10, there were already over 8,500 cases. Under massive pressure to stop the pandemic from spreading in prisons, the government was forced to make another unprecedented decision - they released more than 200 Mafia members from high-security prisons.
    For prosecutors and investigators, this decision walked back decades of hard work. For the mafia, it came at a perfect moment. The coronavirus has not only offered new business opportunities such as selling masks but also has sent Italy spiraling toward complete economic collapse, leaving the most vulnerable Italians with no option but to turn to the mob.
    VICE News goes to Naples, Italy to see how the mafia has used the pandemic to tighten their grip on Italy.

      Hey Vice News,
      Great report. I'd like to add that the Police implemented a tactic to track the mafiosi's circle of collaborators during house arrests and lockdown. Very few knew about it, to the point that many government officials didn't know. They tracked them back and tracked their family members who also were hiding. They emerged to reconnect with the bosses, and that's when Police (Carabinieri) managed to get intel to then arrest more mafiosi in the end.
      It came up in the media a few weeks ago in Italy but I believe this video was shot way before the news broke.
      I think it'd be worth mentioning this in a followup video, or simply by adding more in the notes under the video.
      Ciao from London / Udine, Italy

      Actually that's gobbledygook. A right to what? Taking out a loan? Rights are yours inviolably as a human being. Rights can be interfered with or restored, but they cannot be owed or given. Indeed, because we believe that "rights" can be given and that government owes us these-whatever we think they are-we allow government to aspire to omnipotence, or as government realizes it, totalitarianism. What is outside government becomes, de jure, clandestine and lawless. So government cracks down harder, radicalizing everything outside of its control and radicalizing itself in acquiring the means to crack down harder. No wonder the police look like gangsters. They are gangsters with a license.

    Every foreigner who's complaining about those bike cops: 20/30 years ago Naples was more similar to Kabul rather than to a European city. Robberies and killings were happening basically everyday. Law enforcement needed to adapt and this lead to the formation of small e rapid intervention units like the "falchi" shown in the video. The city is still messed up mostly, but those cops are, if not respected, at least feared, and this actually prevent some crimes

In my opinion tho, most of them are just tough cops raised and working in a tough environment. They are unorthodox in order to get the job done and in order to survive (even if now there's less violence, don't forget that still in the 90's Mafia and camorra used to kill cops and judges). I do believe the majority of them is loyal to their duty. Their Job is to patrol the street and get their hands dirty. It's up to the lawyers, the judges and, sadly, the politicians to create the conditions where these cops' services are no longer required.

      @Vladimir it was an exaggeration. Naples is a complicated city. But not a war zone like some ME areas.

    Huge respect to the reporters at VICE who put their safety on the line to get a story. Not just here, but across the board in gang territory and active warfare areas.

      Italy has 0,35 death by firearms every 100000 inhabitants. Usa? 4

      Warfare referring to war reporting. Active war zones and such.

      @@Gymnopedie55 so why talking about war zone in this case? Anyway La is WAY more dangerous (just see the numbers 397 vs 26 murders past year). Do we compliment them to go to LA? No, is just anti-italian prejudice

      @@Nome_e_Cognome If they want to hang out with LA gangs, I would give them credit for that as well. Just because X is a more dangerous place than Y doesn't mean that Y is safe and has a lovely gang land where the mafia practices drive-by huggings and random acts of kindness.

    Well I'm glad there are still adults, that act like just that, adults. And not like children, and actually hold themselves to some kind of accountability.
