But I'll read up on this feller cuz really, I've never heard of him and this thread isn't really helping either.
No, it is not run by Mafia (with an F only :p).
But.
Our Prime Minister has been inquired many times about his collisions with Mafia (we know that in one of his residences once dwelt a very well known Mafia man) and his right arm man got condemned to prison for 7 years due to his associations with Mafia (he still is free because he is a senator

).
For the rest, many deputies are inquired for corruption, concussion, Mafia and so on..still they're deputies. Why? you would ask me.
I wrote a little more than what you're about to read, but I thought it was way too offtopic, so to sum it up: there are so many corrupt deputies that they just back each other up, well knowing no one is clear, maybe afraid of losing their social status and their dirty money.
Apart from this, I hate the cliché of Italy = Mafia. There are many people who fight it everyday, who won't join them because of honour and in the name of legality, who will denounce those men, not afraid of the consequences.
Gettin' back ontopic, I'm really surprised you don't know who Julian Assange is. So just, just yes, read something about what's going on and see how pathetic the world can be when they're denuded of their fashion clothes.
