Non-Italian Criminal Groups
There is a small number of 'foreign' criminal organizations operating in Italy, such as Chinese Triads, Nigerian gangs and the Albanian gangs, of which the Albanians seem to be the most prominent. The Albanian gangs mainly operate in the more affluent northern parts of Italy. All these organizations operate mostly in prostitution under the permission and the control of the Mafia.

Famous quotes containing the words criminal and/or groups:
“If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It’s the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)

Policemen so cherish their status as keepers of the peace and protectors of the public that they have occasionally been known to beat to death those citizens or groups who question that status.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
