“All of the organised crime organisations have decided to go after the economic fabric: that of the drug markets, which act as the real ATM for these organisations,” she said.
This must alert us, because the resources available to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan … must be for [national] development and not cash for the clans,” she said.
Colosimo added that institutions and police needed to be “more incisive” in their action against corruption.
“We need to update the Anti-Mafia Code, in particular the offences under letter ‘I’ article 4 with the recognition of corruption for the corrupt and the corruptor, on corruption we must be more incisive, more clear-cut,” she said.
Colosimo also responded to a question from ANSA editor-in-chief Luigi Contu regarding various graft probes, such as the ones in Puglia and Liguria.
“[The Anti-Mafia Commission] has opened a strand on the latest investigations from Puglia to Liguria,” she said.
“All the alert lights are on, to give an up-to-date picture to Parliament of what methods organised crime is using to infiltrate the public administration in Italy”.
