You can compare the american mafia with the other italian mafias.The ndrangheta control an entire region where some town are interdected to the police and there are on 2 milion people a mobster every 300;the camorra its more violent that organizated but even in the small clan can made milions only extorting big companies and in sicily even made milions only steeling the EU funds.

i think that Michael Francese at the peak with the gas scam can be compared with an italian mafias top earner.


I’m glad that you commented because I believe it was you who told me about Francesco Schiavone and his wealth. I read that hundreds of millions of dollars were confiscated from his estate by the government and he kept growing despite that. Did Franzese or any other American compare to someone like him?
