The report, which refers to the second half of 2022 and focuses on encrypted communication platforms and, in general, on the internet and the dark web, highlighted the ability of criminal organisations “to rapidly grasp the technological and economic-financial transformations on a global scale”.
The report also illustrated mafia clans’ decreasing recourse to conventional violence and growing interest in business and investment and the opportunities offered by national and European funds.
Calabria’s ‘Ndrangheta mafia continued to dominate organised crime in Italy, while Sicily’s Cosa Nostra is reportedly attracting younger generations.
In total assets worth 181.4 million euros were confiscated from mafia organisations during the reporting period.
