    Imagine how much money is there - stolen, misdirected. Imagine how much it’d fix, if it’d serve the society…

      It’s a shame really… the country is being destroyed by these people. Big public projects and the money just disappears. Ordinary people paying their taxes and trying the best for their families, but some smugs just want it all. Nobody would ever need this much money.

      Many need to leave their beloved homes because the lack of perspective caused by the Mafia in their region like ndrangheta in Calabria. Like a disease they’ve also been spreading to Germany already.

      Vaffanculo Mafia!

        No they just launder their money in the Vatican’s bank, and considering the pope is the one who can give permission for those bank records to be accessed.

        They better do what he says or you know send the Pope to…sleep…fishes

    Given that the money has been collected and managed “off the books” by definition and there are no public records of anything, I wonder how a foreign newspaper can publish figures and data that are not totally arbitrary estimations. Italian here 🤌🇮🇹👀

      The source is Demoskopika, an Italian research group. I haven’t looked at the actual paper itself though
