From duties, an opportunity for mafias ready to 'offer illegal services', to underground finance, where 'dirty money also ends up in investment funds run by narcos'. From old issues, such as the criticality of high security in prisons, to new fronts, such as "the unreasonable limit to wiretapping"; from the focus on data centres to the "clandestine market of confidential information, capable of manipulating the political and economic world". Up to the latest controversy over the anti-mafia controls for the Strait Bridge: 'Those who take money from the State,' Giovanni Melillo points out, 'must be accountable to the State'.
Bridge checks and eavesdropping
.The National Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor does not enter into the tensions between the government and the Colle on the Infrastructure decree, but interviewed at the Trento Economics Festival he broadens his perspective on the ability to carry out large-scale works despite the risk of infiltration: 'Italy has a complex prevention system, made up not only of anti-mafia controls but also those of the Public Administration, which often remain a dead letter. This exacerbates the problems of the effectiveness of the checks'.
Lapidary, on the other hand, was his assessment of the latest reform of wiretapping, with the 15-day limit that can be extended: 'an unreasonable limit'.
Mafias and duties
.In a packed hall, current political events are mixed with an analysis of the mafias' ability to adapt to changes, such as now customs duties. Melillo rattles off a list of illegal services that the clans are ready to offer 'to companies that will illegally try to keep prices down: VAT fraud, customs fraud, false invoicing, parallel finance. There will be a big upswing in forgery and smuggling'.
The clans, more and more crime agencies, are able to exploit the potential of technology and the weaknesses of public infrastructure. Thus artificial intelligence enables 'money laundering with sophisticated algorithms' by the bosses, who 'have long been using cryptocurrencies and metaverse'.
