That makes more sense to me. Equal power but they both use each other for their respective strong suits.
Well i would say freemasonry/secret services are much more powerful than mafia groups.Even back in 1980's when Sicilian Mafia was insanely powerful the P2 had more power , they had members that were CEO of banks, even president of Vatican bank was member, depends on how u define power.But that is type of people who almost never go to prison and no one really knows who they are.
I would say it evens out because the mafia would get their hands dirty and I am sure they could also blackmail Freemasons with information that they had on them if needed. Both the mafia and Freemasons were among the richest people in Italy but I think both used each other to further their agendas. The mafia was using P2 member Roberto Calvi to launder their illegal revenue.
