[From article]
Italian authorities have seized $1.76 billion from Sicilian construction company officials with alleged ties to Mafia crime families in Corleone, a longtime Cosa Nostra stronghold.
[. . .]
Carabinieri police Col. Riccardo Sciuto said Wednesday that the Sicilian builders had made deals with the real-life Corleone Mafia, enabling them to win public contracts “at the expense of honest businessmen.”
Investigators say the infiltration of construction contracts, thanks to mobsters working inside local governments or the connivance of corrupt politicians, provides a lucrative income to the Mafia.
