You shuld read abou serbian mafi in the 90s and 00s,and see what it means to have control of the entire state,politicians and people.I think no where in the world(i don't know about latin america and africa)did the mafia had so much power.I don't know if anybody here have heard about a guy named Arkan Ražnatovic.He was the leader of Tiger unit a military wing of the state during the yugoslac/balkan wars.Started out as a criminal and a hitman,he was interpol's most wanted,yet he owned a 1st league football club ,and a seat int he yugoslav parlament.He had so much power that it was unbellivable.Best friends with slobodan milosevic,offcourse you all know who he was.
