Abstract:
We analyze the effects of Mafia infiltration in the legal economy. Combining information from investigative records with panel data on firms’ governance and balance sheets, we build an indicator of infiltration in firms located in an area with no tradition of Mafia. We show that Mafia targets young and less efficient firms and that infiltration generates a significant rise in firms’ revenues, with no proportionate growth in production inputs and a deterioration of the firm’s financial situation leading to market exit. These findings are consistent with a story of predatory behavior in which infiltration is used for money laundering or rent extraction. (JEL D22, G32, G34, K42, L25)

Abstract:
Abstract This paper is a plea for an institutionalist approach to crime. The argument is based on the Italian Mafia’s infiltration of legitimate businesses. The focus is on the power dimension of this infiltration. I begin by emphasising how the traditional branch of crime economics is unable to correctly address this issue. I then use the tools provided by Commons, especially his definition of property and the capacity to withhold and his distinction between will-in-vacuo and will-in-action. Access to property rights over productive entities for Mafiosi provides a perfect illustration of how the capacity to hold rights turns into a power to withhold them from others. Legal Mafia-owned enterprises should not be seen as a step toward normalisation of the Mafia, but rather as a mark of the extension of their criminal power.

Abstract:
Nuanced explanations of the factors underpinning the mafia’s movements across territories have recently been proposed. However, more light must be shed on the mechanisms through which mafiosi try to infiltrate the legal economy in non-traditional territories. Accordingly, this study aims to micro-found interactions and exchanges that mainly involve mafiosi, politicians and economic actors in expansion areas. Focusing on the local level, we will show how the misuse of several administrative tools generates a profitable opportunity structure for mafiosi. To this end, we present an in-depth comparative case study of three events involving the construction industry that took place in Northern Italy. The main findings show that: (i) mafiosi are skilled at smoothing social relations, enlarging and consolidating opaque networks predating their arrival; (ii) they give rise to different types of mutual exchanges and network structures.

Abstract:
A law issued to combat political corruption and Mafia infiltration of city councils in Italy has resulted in episodes of large, unanticipated, temporary contractions in local public spending. Using these episodes as instruments, we estimate the output multiplier of spending cuts at provincial level—controlling for national monetary and fiscal policy, and holding the tax burden of local residents constant—to be 1.5. Assuming that lagged spending is exogenous to current output brings the estimate of the overall multiplier up to 1.9. These results suggest that local spending adjustment may be quite consequential for local activity. (JEL D72, E62, H71, K42)

Abstract:
: The paper proposal is focused on the evolution of a specific legal instrument, which consists of the Central government’s power to “dissolve” municipal councils in the case of infiltrations by organized crime. In Italian administrative legislation, local councils may be dissolved for several reasons such as the ongoing violation of the law and the neglect of duty, but one of the most debated causes is the interference and the pressure that organized crime may exercise on the members of municipal councils. This specific administrative law instrument is defined in art. 143 T.U.E.L. and is part of a series of public anti-mafia policies. It was introduced in 1991 as an emergency law to cope with the risk of maladministration due to local authorities’ subjugation to criminal power (Mete, 2009). The aim of the dissolution of local councils is to preserve constitutional and fundamental values such as democracy and the rule of law, but it is a very severe legal tool as it affects a democratically elected community. This instrument is also closely related to the prevention of corruption in the public sector, as often the infiltrations by organized crime in municipalities are due to the corruption of public officials. The institution in charge of applying this legal tool is the Prefect, which has the power to enforce the orders of the central government and oversees local authorities. The procedure for the adoption of this instrument involves the major constitutional bodies such as the Parliament, the Ministry of Interior and the President of the Republic.

Abstract:
The topic of this thesis is the dissolution of Italian Municipal Councils due to organized crime infiltration. It was introduced into Italian legislation in 1991 as a specific legal remedy, following serious episodes of subjugation of local councils to the pressure and interests of mafia organizations. The first section of the thesis will analyse the topic from a developmental perspective, placing it in its historical legal context. The law is currently laid down in Art. 143 d.lgs. n. 267/2000 “Consolidated Law on the organization of local authorities” and was established to preserve fundamental values and constitutional principles such as public order and security, legality, good performance and impartiality of public administration. The procedure leads to the dissolution of the Municipal Council and has a profound effect on local democracy. Since its introduction in 1991, its interpretation and application has been controversial. The thesis will therefore analyze the debate about its constitutional legitimacy and legal framework by exploring juridical opinions and the constitutional and administrative caselaw on the subject. It also examines the typical causes leading up to the disbanding of Municipal Councils. The law is also aimed at administrative prevention, operating within the supervisory system for local authorities in order to preserve best practices in public administration. The thesis will explore the legal framework of the administrative prevention of corruption from the perspective of anti-mafia strategy, given that methods of corruption are frequently used by the mafia as a means of infiltrating local councils. The next section deals with the post-dissolution phase, particularly the management of the Special Commissions that replace local councils: there are many impediments to the successful and lasting impact of their work, such as the inadequate legal instruments at their disposal, as well as the complexity of the dissolved administrations. A crucial aspect of the thesis involves the way that organized crime has moved its operations outside traditional territories. In recent years, this has led to a radical increase in the number of local authorities being disbanded in the central and northern areas of Italy. The thesis will analyse these changes from a diachronic and territorial perspective. Overall, the thesis argues that the current debate on the legislative proposals about the revision of Art. 143 suggests that the law is still adequate but a more successful and definitive solution to the problem of mafia infiltration in local administration can only involve a much more profound cultural evolution of Italian society.

Abstract:
Libera (associations, numbers, and names against criminal organizations) and Liberainformazione, following the earthquake of 6 April 2009 that devastated the city of L’Aquila, have created a local chapter of “Libera L’Aquila,” and journalists and local volunteers are engaged in investigations of criminal infiltration in the management of the emergency and reconstruction and also in the training courses for legal education and active citizenship in secondary schools located in the earthquake area. The project is divided into three sessions for each group, and the topics relate mainly to the analysis of democratic values and constitutional principles, social antimafia and mafia roots, the value of memory and the meaning of the common good, the role of information and the active participation of citizens functional to the redevelopment of the whole area. The experience, unique of its kind in this area, is ongoing and continuously evolving.

Abstract:
This introductory chapter provides an overview of how separatism in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries poses a paradox. On the one hand, the world is ostensibly coming together through globalization. On the other, the territorial integrity of nations appears fragile in most regions. The chapter explains that the book argues that countries torn by separatist movements since the Cold War cannot be adequately understood without an appreciation of organized crime. Far from passive by-products or trivial catalysts, mafias can play a decisive, autonomous role in shaping state-separatist relations, promoting or hindering secession, and fueling war. Transnational processes — of mafia expansion, chronic smuggling, and patrimonial governance — critically shape national processes of ethnic mobilization, border reconfiguration, and state collapse. Through a comparative historical analysis of the role of organized crime in West Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, the book examines understudied dynamics of territorial consolidation in torn states. By nourishing, infiltrating, and even co-opting governments and separatist movements, mafias have the power to mold the basic political units of the world.

Abstract:
Introduction: Muscle pain is the most prevalent type of pain in the world, but treatment remains ineffective. Objective: Therefore, this study characterised the nociception and inflammation in a traumatic muscle injury model in rats Methods: A single blunt trauma impact on the right gastrocnemius muscle of male Wistar rats. Procedures were approved by the Institutional Committee for Animal Use of the Federal University of Santa Maria (#6579280218/2018). Animals were divided into four groups (sham/no treatment; sham/diclofenac 1%; injury/no treatment; injury/diclofenac 1%) and the topical treatment with cream of 1% monosodium diclofenac (applied at 2, 6, 12, 24, and 46 h after muscle injury; 200 mg/muscle) was used as an anti-inflammatory control. Nociception (mechanical and cold allodynia, or nociceptive score) and locomotor activity were evaluated at 26 and 48 h after injury. Also, inflammatory and oxidative parameters were evaluated in gastrocnemius muscle and the creatine kinase (CK) activity and lactate levels in plasma and serum, respectively. Results: Muscle injury caused mechanical and cold allodynia, and increased nociceptive scores, without inducing locomotor impairment. This model also increased the inflammatory cells infiltration (seen by myeloperoxidase and Nacetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase activities and histological procedure), nitric oxide, IL- 1β, IL-6, and dichlorofluorescein levels in muscle samples; and CK activity and lactate levels in serum. The treatment with 1% monosodium diclofenac reduced inflammatory cells infiltration, dichlorofluorescein, and lactate levels. Conclusion: In this view, we characterised the traumatic muscle injury as a reproducible model of muscle pain, which make it possible to evaluate promising antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory therapies.
