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:
“The husbands of very beautiful women belong to the criminal classes.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“If we can learn ... to look at the ways in which various groups appropriate and use the mass-produced art of our culture ... we may well begin to understand that although the ideological power of contemporary cultural forms is enormous, indeed sometimes even frightening, that power is not yet all-pervasive, totally vigilant, or complete.”
—Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)
