Italy 's mafia is shunning murder and extortion in favour of white-collar crime as 'wet work' falls out of favour with the new generation of mafioso. Hey, you have to move with the times, capise? Italy 's mafia rarely dirties its hands with blood these days. Extortion rackets have gone out of fashion and murders are largely frowned upon by the godfathers. Just 17 people were killed by the mob in Italy in 2022, according to the latest official data, versus more than 700 in 1991.

According to Reuters, a thorough examination of hundreds of pages of court records and interviews with seven chiefs of police and prosecution in Italy exposed the extent of mafia involvement in the country's business community and the financial burden this is placing on the government. According to the prosecution, business owners who are eager to discover new ways to evade taxes frequently assist in these crimes.
