This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rome — Italy has not only renewed but decided to expand a controversial program to remove children from their mafia families to break the cycle of criminal behavior being passed down to new generations.
“The fight against the mafias is also fought by opening new paths to generations capable of freely deciding which future to live.”
There are children dealing crack at eight years old," said Chiara Colosimo, head of the Italian parliament’s anti-mafia commission.
Italy has waged a concerted law enforcement crackdown on organized crime in recent years, and it has led not only to hundreds of arrests and prosecutions, but a shift in the entire mafia landscape.
In September, Matteo Messina Denaro, a convicted mastermind of some of the most heinous murders carried out by Cosa Nostra and considered Italy’s No.
One of the leaders of the group, based in the town of Foggia, escaped from a maximum security prison in 2023 by tying bed sheets together, but was captured in France in February.
