South Italians of /int/, is mafia still a thing nowadays there?,

They're sleeping

Didnt the Sicilian mafia said they would kill the refugees

>>70608476
Mafia exists everywhere, I wouldn't be surprised if it exists there in any type of business

>>70608476
>is mafia still a thing nowadays there?
yes
> how bad it is?
very

>>70608476
lots of killings = mafia war
peace = business as usual

mafia war is going on in campania (naples), killings and shootings around people every week, while sicilia and calabria are in pax mafiosa

>>70608476
The story as to why Shitalians came to be is a story full of shit, feces, crap, decadence, dirt, niggery and trash. It's the story of the Shitalian people from the Shitalic peninsula, one of the most backwards and non-white places to have ever existed on this earth, unfortunately.

>>70608476
Yes. Mafia in my region (Sicily) was greatly weakened in the last decades, and now it's less organized and exposed than in the past, but it's still a plague, especially for the economy. Pizzo (protection money) is still common, although in the last years movements rebelling against it were formed in the big cities and now it's slowly becoming rare. The biggest problem with mafia is their interference with business and politics (not only local), and it's the main reason the South is still so much behind the North economically. Contrary to what people think, it doesn't affect public safety that much, at least here in Sicily. Immigrants are much, much worse.

nope they're more useful as slaves

>>70609170
ahahah
there's places in the South that would make Alabama in the 1800s blush.

not south Italian but will try to answer

first of all there is not one mafia, but at least three mafias

the 'ndrangheta, the calabrian one is the most powerful now.
it has infiltrated the economies in almost all europe, especially Germany, Holland,Belgium.

The Sicilian one is less powerful but still radicated.

The Camorra in Naples is disappearing and new gangs of extremely young people are taking it place.

The first 2 are mostly economic-political mafias and rarely kill

said the kid to his grandfathers

Why can't people in places like Italy, Japan, etc. just lynch the criminals?

>>70610504
Because law enforcers are linked to the mafia and ordinary people can't do shit

>>70610537
This, but not only law enforcers. Even important politicians.

>>70610537
>ordinary people can't do shit
You know what "lynch" means? You find the problem and remove it

>>70610537
do yo know Falcone and Borsellino leaf?

>>70610504
Noguns

>>70610566
Italy is not some third world shithole, vigilante justice is punished.

>>70610617
He's right. Not all of them are linked to the mafia of course, but many are. And the fact that Borsellino was killed despite being obvious that it was the next target is the proof of that.

>>70608476
Funny thing is that they could easily be dealt with but the Italian government is just THAT incompetent.

>>70610725
True for Japan but you can get guns just fine here

>>70610566
The thing about mafias is that they're smart criminals, organized and act undercover.
First you need to find who the leader is, if they didn't kill the people on their trails by then yet and people manage to lynch the leader, someone else will just replace him and kill the assassins anyway.
Not even the FBI with all their resources could nail the whole mafia, ordinary people can't do shit.

>>70610989
>Funny thing is that they could easily be dealt
No, they're many and it's not easy to prove that they're part of mafia. We even got shit from human right organizations because of the way we treated them. Also, although one typically becomes a mafioso thanks to his family, that's not a requirement. For instance, any Sicilian can join Cosa Nostra in theory. This means that mafia regenerates easily, therefore limited, localized arrests from the same clan are useless.

>but the Italian government is just THAT incompetent
*corrupted.

What the Canadian said is true though.

Italians are sad little people...

>>70611157
Not him, but my friend in Montreal was actually outside as a kid when he heard a gunshot that turned out to be a sniper assassination by the Italian mafia.

>>70610989
>incompetent.

Anyone know of any good documentaries about the modern Italian mafias? ( made within the last 10 years please.)

>>70608476
Watch Gomorra, it's literally how southern Italy looks like 24/7 :^)

>>70611567
Not Gomorra

>>70611567
there are loads of tv/journalistic stuff, but you have to understand italian

>>70611567
Gomorra, the serial, is quite realistic and enterteining in regards of naples

the movie is great but it's not for the american audience
