Il ruolo dell'organizzazione criminale nel contrasto al traffico illecito di tabacchi lavorati esteri
2019
the paper intends to analyze the features of the Italian criminal law on cigarette smuggling. The domestic system faces the illicit tobacco trade in a very peculiar way, especially if compared with the criminal law of other European countries (e.g. Germany, Greece, Portugal and Spain). The Italian strict regulation (artt. 291 bis, ter, quarter T.U.D.) could appear also unreasonable if set side by side with the domestic legislation on smuggling of goods. Indeed, the latter is characterized by a large use of administrative sanctions instead of the severe criminal penalties related to the cigarette smuggling. The paper aims at demonstrating that the domestic firm method is based on the will to…
Female Visibility in the Mafia World: Press Review 1980 to 2001
2007
One way to analyze the recent evolution of the female role in organized crime is to review the press coverage of that theme during the period 1980-2001. The choice of this period was guided by the consideration that investigations and observations have shown this period to be one of the most interesting for the study of the phenomenon, since it is precisely during this time that the participation of women in mafia-type criminal activities seems to have become more visible and frequent. The paper explores the nature and characteristics of the female role within the mafia organization along with its centrality. The difficulty in collecting information on the daily life of mafia women has led …
Prospettive dialettiche intorno alla definizione del fenomeno mafioso
2023
Il fenomeno mafioso non nasce certo con l’istituzione della legge n. 646, del 13 settembre 1982, fortemente voluta da Pio La Torre e approvata, non già dopo la sua morte (il 30 aprile del 1982) ma solo all’indomani della strage di via Carini, dove persero la vita il prefetto di Palermo Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, la giovane moglie Emanuela Setti Carraro e l’agente di scorta Domenico Russo. Ma in quella data viene dato un nome e un riconoscimento giuridico – suggellato in uno specifico articolo del codice penale, il 416bis – a un fenomeno criminale risalente nel tempo. Su queste diverse prospettive, sulla tardività del parlamento nel legiferare in questa materia e sulle battaglie dialettiche…

Legalità, violenza e criminalità organizzata
2020
I contributi di questo volume, diversi per argomentazione e per tipo di approccio selezionato guardano ai temi della violenza e del rispetto delle norme evidenziando aspetti diversi, tutti tenuti insieme, però, dall'obiettivo generale del libro: approfondire la conoscenza delle dimensioni della violenza, dell'uso della violenza stessa da parte delle organizzazioni criminali, delle azioni di prevenzione e contrasto poste in essere, non trascurando il punto di vista dei giovani, anche a partire dai quali è stata costruita buona parte della base empirica necessaria per alcune riflessioni, utili per fornire indicazioni anche a coloro che quotidianamente sono impegnati in percorsi formativi volt…
Between Local and Global: the ‘Ndrangheta’s Drug Trafficking Route
2017
AbstractAccording to the last United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime report (2016), 247 million people aged between 15 and 64 years used drugs at least once in the past year, with cocaine being the best-selling of the goods from the ‘Ndrangheta. In this case, the drugs trade is 60% of the systemic gain due to illicit trafficking that allowed the spreading of the Calabrian criminal organization across five continents. Nevertheless, this sometimes little-known apparently harmless organization, which comes from the Aspromonte heartland in Calabria, was included by the United States in the blacklist of the 75 most dangerous drug-trafficking organizations only in 2008. Therefore, this investig…
Mafia and immigration: analysis of the “illegal street workers” in southern Italy
2014
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate on the new forms of the “illegal street workers” involving immigrants in southern Italy. This new concept may include, at least, two kinds of illegal employment of immigrants which is, probably, managed by local criminal organizations; in particular, it may refer to the so-called “posteggiatore abusivo” and “lavavetri”. Design/methodology/approach – This is a new area of research. The methodology used has been based on a collection of interviews with these migrants. Probably, this methodology should be refined, but in this first phase of research, it was helpful in order to understand the existence of a criminal network that controls an…
Symbolic Domination and Active Power: Femal Roles in Criminal Organizations,
2007
The article is focused on analysing the role of female figures in the mafia criminal organizations. Starting from a comparative analysis of the ways in which - over time - have changed the forms of manifestation of the female power and the male domination in specific criminal contexts (especially in the Cosa Nostra, but not only), we will consider the dialectic of visibility/invisibility, appearance/reality behind which hides the need to respond to the cliché for which the women must be strong but must appear weak; at the same time we will try to understand what are the forms of materialization of women’s power in these contexts and which are the circumstances that make possible their legit…
Il ruolo dell'organizzazione criminale nel contrasto al traffico di tabacchi lavorati esteri
2020
This article concerns the study of the reasons that found the Italian regulations of smuggling of foreign manufactured tobacco products, with the purpose to assess its reasonableness and efficacy. The norms set by articles 291 bis, ter and quarter of the Consolidated Customs Law Act (Testo Unico delle Leggi Doganali) is a normative unicum in the European landscape due to the detail and rigour of its sanctions and precisely because of this, it attracts the interpreters’ interest. Such peculiarity finds its reason of existence in the need to contrast the organised crime in the sector, need that permeates the cited norms to such an extent that it also reverberates on the individual offence, st…
