Úvod Taliansko tvorí v súčasnosti ôsmu najväčšiu ekonomiku sveta, hodnota jeho hrubého domáceho produktu bola v roku 2016 1,859 trilióna dolárov. Napriek tomu, že sa takmer po jednu celú dekádu spamätávalo z dopadov svetovej finančnej krízy, v súčasnosti si v rámci celosvetových hospodárskych rebríčkov vedie ako krajina pomerne dobre a očakáva sa síce pomalý, no stabilný rast jeho ekonomiky (The World Bank 2018). Taliansku sa však nedarí dobre len v oblasti hospodárstva, ale napríklad v rebríčkoch Organizácie pre hospodársku spoluprácu a rozvoj (OECD) vyniká v oblastiach ako príjem a bohatstvo, pomer medzi prácou a voľným časom, zdravie obyvateľstva a tiež v oblasti s názvom komunita a sociálne väzby (OECD 2018). Okrem toho je táto krajina jednou zo šiestich zakladajúcich krajín Európskej únie, zrejme najvýznamnejšej organizácie usilujúcej o rozvoj európskych štátov. Napriek tomu, že Taliansko podľa OECD mierne zaostáva v ostatných rebríčkoch ako sú vzdelanie, zamestnanosť, podieľanie sa na verejnej správe a bezpečnosť, je naďalej vo všeobecnosti považovaná za jednu z najrozvinutejších krajín západného sveta s demokratickým zriadením a rozvinutým trhovým hospodárstvom (OECD 2018). Na druhej strane však pri lepšom nazeraní na pomery v Taliansku zistíme, že na juh od Ríma sa situácia v tejto oblasti výrazne odlišuje od celoštátneho priemeru. Napriek tomu, že ekonomika Talianska v posledných rokoch rastie, v detailnejšom pohľade sa to týka skôr iba severných regiónov, ktoré takpovediac ,,ťahajú“ celkové hospodárstvo krajiny vpred. Naopak v ôsmich regiónoch tzv. mezzogiorno, teda južných oblastí Talianska, sa situácia týkajúca sa hospodárstva neustále zhoršuje a tento trend má podľa predpokladov naďalej pokračovať (Catania 2015).1 Podľa Centrálnej talianskej banky je HDP per capita vo všeobecnosti o 40% nižšie v regiónoch talianskeho juhu v porovnaní s jeho severnými oblasťami (Citymetric 2014). Vývoj juhu Talianska sa však významne prepadáva vo všetkých krivkách v porovnaní so severnými oblasťami krajiny či už sa jedná o hrubý domáci produkt, zamestnanosť, export, populáciu, chudobu alebo investície. Najhoršiu situáciu však zaznamenáva práve Kalábria, ktorá je zároveň najchudobnejším regiónom Talianska (Catania 2015; European Commission 2018). 1 Na základe štatistík medzi rokmi 2001 až 2013 sa uvádza, že rast ekonomiky severného Talianska sa pohyboval v týchto rokoch v priemernom rozmedzí približne 2%, avšak juh po celý čas zaznamenával priemerný pokles približne o 7% (Catania 2015). 5 Problém významných regionálnych rozdielov, či už v rámci ekonomického vývoja, bohatstva, zamestnanosti, kriminality alebo vzdelanosti, sa týka značného množstva európskych krajín ako Španielska, Veľkej Británie alebo Slovenska. V prípade Talianska to však nie je len dôsledok zlého spravovania zo strany štátu tak ako v spomínaných krajinách, ale do značnej miery sa na tomto trende podieľa aj fenomén, ktorý je dlhodobo spätý s Talianskom a je ním práve organizovaný zločin, resp. domácky označovaný ako mafia. Práve prepletené a vysoko sofistikované štruktúry organizovaných zločineckých skupín sa vo významnej miere dlhodobo podieľajú na degradácii južných regiónov Talianska, v ktorých pôsobia, teda takmer vo všetkých oblastiach a sférach života či už politického, ekonomického alebo spoločenského. Túto situáciu nenaznačujú len vyššie zmienené indikátory úpadku, ale aj uniknutá správa z prostredia americkej diplomacie. Generálny konzul USA J. Patrick Truhn sa podľa servera WikiLeaks v decembri 2008 pri svojej ceste po regiónoch Talianska vyjadril, že problém mafie v Kalábrii je tak rozsiahly, že ak by Kalábria nebola súčasťou Talianska, bola by tzv. failed state, teda zlyhaným štátom (Wikileaks 2008). Podobné súvislosti vzhľadom k Taliansku ako celku naznačujú aj analýzy uverejnené na portáloch ako Foreign Policy (Pasquali 2009), The National Interest (Hay 2011) alebo The Spectator (Farell 2014). Cieľom tejto práce bude ozrejmiť túto skutočnosť prostredníctvom deskripcie súčasných reálií a následnej analýzy pôsobenia organizovaného zločinu v juhotalianskom regióne Kalábria, pričom hlavný dôraz bude kladený na interakciu organizovaných zločineckých skupín a obyvateľstva Kalábrie v oblastiach, ktoré sa ho priamo týkajú. Fenomén talianskeho organizovaného zločinu sa môže zdať ako pomerne široko preskúmaný, avšak nie sú nám známe žiadne výskumy, ktoré by sa zaoberali touto problematikou z pohľadu zlyhávania štátu v kontrole svojho územia, v dôsledku rozšírenosti organizovanej kriminality na pôde juhotalianskych regiónov. Práve preto je ďalším a zároveň úzko prepojeným cieľom práce ukázať, že talianska štátna moc a autority dlhodobo zlyhávajú v riešení tohto problému a ich vplyv je na území Kalábrie značne potlačovaný. Organizovaný zločin a kriminalita na tomto území totiž nie sú problémom novodobým, práve naopak, jeho korene siahajú až do 19. storočia, pričom do značnej miery vždy ovládali isté územia krajiny. Je však pozoruhodné, že sa tento problém talianskej vláde naďalej nedarí vyriešiť

Gioia Tauro is one of the main commercial ports in Italy, located in Calabria, Today, it is specialized in container transhipment operations and it has a great expansion capacity to become a third-generation port. In Calabria, there is a demand for logistics relating to different sectors present in the regional economy; however, this demand remains unsatisfied due to the presence of different problems. The agri-food sector, in particular, is one of the most important in Calabria and it is a distinctive element of regional productions. The main problems hindering the expansion of agri-food sector are: low innovation, small and poorly structured companies, limited availability of specific transport and logistics infrastructures. The completion of Gioia Tauro as third-generation port could allow to solving these problems and boost the regional agri-food sector, also in the context of improving the other economic sectors. This paper proposes an agri-food logistics scenario for Gioia Tauro as third-generation port, according to the Regional Transport Plan of Calabria and to the strategic report of the Integrated Logistics Area.

We focus on the case of the 'ndrangheta, a large criminal organization that originates from the South of Italy. Combining information from investigative records with panel data on firms' governance and balance sheets, we build an indicator of 'ndrangheta infiltrations in firms located in the Center and North of Italy, i.e. areas with no tradition of organized crime. We show that (a) organized crime tends to infiltrate firms in financial distress and sectors that are more reliant on public sector demand or more prone to money laundering; (b) infiltration generates a significant rise in the affected firm's own revenues; and (c) the penetration of organized crime produces a long-run negative effect on economic growth at the local level.

  • 1 Migrating 'Ndrangheta in the Case of Australia. a Historical Perspective
    Migrating 'Ndrangheta in the case of Australia. A historical perspective. Abstract This paper attempts to present the phenomenon of the ‘ndrangheta - criminal organisation from Calabria, South of Italy, and most powerful among the Italian mafias – through its migrating routes. In particular, the paper, by focusing on the peculiar case of Australia, aims at showing the overlapping of migrating flows with criminal colonisation, which has proven to be a ‘policy’ of this particular mafia. The paper uses the very thin literature on the subject alongside official reports on migration and crime, mainly from Italian sources, to start an historical journey on the migration of people from Calabria to Australia in various moments of the last century. The aim is to prove that, alongside the dreams for a better life, also criminal habits migrated with people, reinforced to this day through tight family ties. The topic is largely unexplored and is still underreported among Australian institutions and scholars, which is why this paper chooses a historical narration as main methodology to describe the principal threads in this very new field of research. Keywords: Australian ’ndrangheta; Italian mafias in Australia; Italian migration in Australia; organised crime in Australia; criminal colonisation; transnational organised crime 1 Migrating 'Ndrangheta in the case of Australia. A historical perspective. Migratory routes and criminal settlements The link between migration and organised crime can be considered physiological and not just because the movements of illegal immigrants for years have been almost totally managed by powerful criminal organisations based on transnational arrangements. Studies of migration have shown that those who leave their country, bring with them their own world made of life experiences and patterns of social relations, and they tend to reorganise, often through intense sacrifices, a complex system of self-defence of their ethno-cultural identity, without necessarily dismissing advanced forms of integration.

  • Planning Transport Interventions in Gioia Tauro, Italy
    Urban and Maritime Transport XXVII 31 STRUCTURAL FACTORS FOR A THIRD-GENERATION PORT: PLANNING TRANSPORT INTERVENTIONS IN GIOIA TAURO, ITALY GIUSEPPE MUSOLINO1 & GIOVANNA CHILÀ2 1Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Informazione, delle Infrastrutture e dell’Energia Sostenibile, Università Mediterranea di Reggio Calabria, Italy 2Environment and Public Works, Municipality of Motta San Giovanni, Italy ABSTRACT Ports can be classified into different categories, or generations, according to the definitions of UNCTAD. Third-generation ports emerged in the last decades of the 20th century, principally due to world-wide large scale containerization and inter-modalism combined with the growing requirements of the international trade. Ports turned into integrated transport centres and logistic platforms for international trade. The aims of this paper are to: (a) analyse the current conditions of Gioia Tauro port, in the context of Calabria Region (Italy); (b) propose strategic development directions and transport interventions towards a third generation port. Scenario and planned interventions in the port of Gioia Tauro are identified in the Regional Transport Plan of Calabria and in the strategic report of the Integrated Logistic Area (ALI) of Gioia Tauro. The defined scenario aims to achieve the objectives to strength the existing transhipment activities and to support the development of new port-related activities in the hinterland area. The infrastructural interventions aim to connect the port with the European networks and the access to/from Calabria Region. The interventions concern both the expansion of the port infrastructures, on the sea-side; and the increase of the railway and road infrastructures, on the land-side. Keywords: third generation port, general logistics, infrastructures, Gioia Tauro port area.

Gold Chief Magistrate Judge Eastern District of New York 225 Cadman Plaza East Brooklyn, New York 11201 Re: United States v. Lupoi, et al. Criminal Docket No. 14-0042 (SJ) Dear Judge Gold: The government respectfully submits this letter to request permanent orders of detention with respect to the defendants Franco Lupoi, Raffaele Valente, Alexander Chan and Jose Alfredo Garcia, also known as “Freddy.” The government seeks substantial bail packages for defendants Charles Centaro, also known as “Charlie Pepsi,” Christos Fasarakis and Dominic Ali. As further described below, because of the nature of the charges against the defendants, the strength of the government’s case, the significant jail time the defendants face and their ties to various violent criminal syndicates, Lupoi, Valente, Chan and Garcia pose both a danger to the community and a risk of flight that cannot be mitigated by any condition or combination of conditions. In addition, under 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e)(3)(A) there is a presumption that Lupoi, Chan and Garcia should be detained, and for the reasons set forth below, they cannot overcome that presumption. Centaro, Fasarakis and Ali should be required to present a substantial bail package to mitigate the risk of these defendants’ flight from prosecution. I. Background A. Investigation The superseding indictment returned in this matter is the result of a long-term undercover investigation by this Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), which collaborated with Italian law enforcement authorities in an ongoing investigation of the criminal activities of the defendants and their criminal counterparts.

  • Italy in Peril: Organized Crime and State Impotence in Italy
    International Relations and Security Network ETH Zurich Leonhardshalde 21, LEH 8092 Zurich Switzerland ISN Special Issue January 2010 Italy in Peril: Organized Crime and State Impotence in Italy In the small Italian town of Rosarno, riots erupted in early January as illegal workers protested against the racist attack of two men by the criminal organization that had arranged for their migration and employment in Calabria. The riots marked a symptom of a wider problem in Italy's south – the government’s inability to cope with the increasing power and bravado of organized crime groups. The organizations responsible for bringing illegal workers into Calabria operate outside the formal Italian economy and their operations present a growing threat to the human rights of immigrants and Europe's internal security. The civil unrest in Rosarno began after two Nigerian men were shot at outside an encampment in a disused food warehouse to the north of the town, set up temporarily to house approximately 1,000 illegal workers. The attack resulted in retaliatory riots instigated by the workers who marched into the town, overturning cars and organizing roadblocks during a 3-day confrontation. The local authorities, assisted by the Carabinieri (Italy's national guard), arrested the majority of the protesters and transported them via trains and buses to deportation centers. Many of the workers involved in the rioting had been brought to Italy to work during the orange harvest in Rosarno under the supervision of the local mafia, who were exploiting their cheap labor. This practice is widespread in Italy, particularly in the agricultural and textile sectors and accounts for nine percent of the country's overall GDP according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

  • Drug Trafficking Criminal Organizations in Italy 9
    ANNUAL REPORT PREFACE As in the previous years and after an intense editorial and analysis work, the Direzione Centrale per I Servizi Antidroga has published its Annual report 2014, which is a summary document of the activities and results achieved by our Country in the fight against the illicit traffic in narcotic drugs. The situation described in this Report is not so different from that we have seen in the past, even though some aspects should be emphasized. The national data on drug seizures have shown a sharp rise in cannabis derivatives and, in particular, hashish (+211.29%), thus confirming the Law Enforcement efforts to combat drug trafficking and deprive the illicit consumption markets of relevant quantities of drugs. These surprising data should not lead to merely mechanistic conclusions on drug consumption: consumption levels must not be considered as a reflection, in percentage terms, of the above-mentioned records. The unprecedented surplus has to be attributed to two huge seizures – for an overall quantity of 70 tonnes – made by the national naval units in the Mediterranean Sea: they stopped the vessels transporting illicit consignments not bound for Italy. However, last year, notwithstanding these positive results, the drug operations showed a decline with respect to 2013 equal to 11.47%. This drop could reasonably be explained by the numerous amendments to the legislation on narcotic drugs and, in particular, to the criminal and administrative sanctions regulating the Law Enforcement activities. From an operational point of view, this sudden evolution of the legislative framework has requested an adjustment phase, notably within the context of enforcement actions to the so called “street pushing”.
