The southern Italian province of Reggio Calabria tops the tables for money laundering risk, while Trento in northern Italy comes in right at the bottom, a new study led by the Transcrime research institute of Milan’s Cattolica university shows.
Looked at in this way, the rankings seem logical. The province on the Strait of Messina, which is followed in the first 10 positions by other Calabrian provinces and later by others in the South (in Campania and Sicily) is without a shadow of a doubt one of the global capitals for businesses that appear legitimate on the surface but in reality are polluted by continuous injections of money stemming from Mafia-related activities.
