In 2016, the government disbanded the local council of Corleone because of suspected mafia infiltration of the Sicilian town which helped inspire Francis Coppola’s “Godfather” series

A friend of mine spent a month is Sicily just over a year ago.

He told me there was an ongoing crackdown on the Mafia.
He said he saw a place where a couple of dozen nice empty houses were up for sale, but had no takers because they were previously Mafia owned, and no one wanted to get involved with those houses.

Also the Muslim invasion of Sicily had just begun, and there was no Mafia to run them off, and the Govt is not up to driving them out.

Does anyone know the status of the Muslim's in Sicily today? - Tom

How about a crack down on the refugees pouring in? Hell the Italian Navy picks them up 120 miles off the coast of Africa, and instead of taking them back to Africa 10 miles away they take them to Italy which is much further.

The mafia would do a better job of running the country than the airheads running it now.

Just what I was thinking. The Mafia would be good to run off the Muslims.

I was told, when I was in Sicily years ago, that the Mafia was the stable underground government of the Sicilian people regardless of which nation had taken them over. The Greeks, Norman’s, Arabs, Bourbons and etc. were all occupants at one time.

IMHO the Mafia may rise and become useful to the native Sicilians once again.
