Mafia Money Is Italy Election Issue

Description:Gioia Tauro is one of Europe's biggest ports. It's three kilometres long and its containers occupy 38 square kilometres of land. Naples is also a gateway to Africa and the Middle East which is why the mafia loves to use it. They smuggle drugs and illegal goods through the port and for them tough economic times is good news. With banks less willing to lend some legitimate businesses are borrowing the mafia's drug profits - despite extortionate rates - to stay afloat. (2:04)
