Preventing and Fighting Organized Crime and Mafia-Type Infiltration: The Italian Anti-Mafia Information Model Compared with US Civil RICO
by Felice Piemontese The article critically analyses legislative instruments of both the Italian anti-Mafia legislation and the US Code, notably the Italian ‘anti-Mafia information’ (informazione interdittiva anti-Mafia) and the US civil remedies under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO). By comparing these specific tools, which share investigative activities in the fight against organized crime, the purpose of this article is to find similarities between the two models. The article also highlights the main differences between the Italian and American remedies and provides indications to be able to fight organized crime in a more coordinated and efficient way.
