ROME — The Mafia made $112 million a day last year in Italy through protection rackets, bribes, and illegal money lending, according to a new report.
The SOS Impresa report, which is compiled from government figures, showed that Italy’s four major criminal syndicates even managed to collect $46 million a day from major companies listed on the Milan stock exchange.
