Raffaelle Imperiale is said to speak four languages: Italian, English, Spanish and Dutch.
Imperiale's organization in the Netherlands clearly shows how criminal undermining, the mixing of underworld and upperworld, works in practice, says investigative journalist Koen Voskuil of RTL News. “These Italians abuse the legal economy in the Netherlands.”

“For example, Dutch companies are located in the warehouses in which they replace a deck cargo with cocaine. It must be striking that Italians are messing around with packets of white powder and shopping bags full of banknotes.”

“Transport companies in the Netherlands are also very concerned. For example, the Italian criminal file mentions 80 kilos of cocaine that can be collected from a transport company near Schiphol. The Italian mafia makes grateful use of the Netherlands as a transport country and the open borders in Europe.”
