Malta doesn't have a big local organized crime syndicate either, but there are plenty of Maltese criminal elements (crooked businessmen and such).
Quite a number of Maltese immigrated to Australia and they tend to join outlaw motorcycle groups. Rebels MC (former) president Alex Vella was born on the island and the Rebels MC in general have a noticeable Maltese presence.
criminal elements are everywhere included sardinia, i think a sardinian is in the most wanted national list next messina denaro but there is not a local mafia-style group, not even a small one
