A recent report reveals the extensive influence of organized crime on Italy’s tourism sector, contributing to approximately six percent of the national GDP. Researchers identified around 7,000 Italian businesses at risk of mafia control, particularly those in financial distress. This involvement often leads to money laundering practices. The greatest risks are concentrated in the Campania region, home to Naples, and Lombardy in Northern Italy, highlighting the pervasive nature of mafia influence across the economy.
