Mafia revenue '7% of Italy's GDP'
Revenue from organised crime in Italy adds up to €85bn or about 7% of the country's gross domestic product, a small business lobby said.
The Confesercenti lobby laid out its estimates as part of a campaign to increase attention on the extent of organised crime, particularly in Sicily, the Naples area, Calabria in the "toe" of Italy and Puglia in the "heel" of the boot-shaped peninsula.
