Let’s say the most powerful clans are the Pesce or Piromali clans. How much of their business do you all believe is legitimate income that they can report? They clearly make a huge chunk from drug trafficking. But what else do they have going?
They make tons of money from legitimate business practices. They are in a way more powerful than the legitimate state.
Would individual clans ever even consider going legitimate once they get to a certain level of wealth and power? Or is that impossible because they are known drug traffickers?
