THE MAFIA AND DRUG TRAFFICKING PART 2°
Published 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
The decision by major bosses such as Luciano, Adonis (Milan) and Coppola (Rome) to establish their homes far from Sicily, in large cities such as Naples, Milan and Rome, was based on specific strategic needs. In these cities, the traditional Sicilian mafia network did not exist, and it was difficult to create one from scratch because the environmental and personal elements of the traditional mafia structure were lacking. This diversification of behaviour in relations with 'power' and adaptability to contexts other than traditional Sicilian ones were evident. In Sicily, the relationship between the Mafia and power was rich in undertones and based on respect for 'authority', a traditional world where things were done without saying them.
