全球收入最高的五大黑帮

Camorra is the most successful of these groups, raking in an estimated $4.9 billion per year on everything from “sexual exploitation, firearms trafficking, drugs, counterfeiting, gambling … usury and extortion,” according to the report. And Camorra has been at it a long time. Based in Naples, the group’s history dates back to the 19th century, when it was formed initially as a prison gang. As members were released, the group flourished during the bloody political struggles in Italy during the 1800s by offering protection services and as a force for political organization among Italy’s poor.

克莫拉是这些团伙中最为成功的一个，估计每年能够攫取49亿美元的收入。这份研究报告显示，他们涉足的领域丰富多样：“性剥削、军火交易、毒品、制假、赌博……高利贷以及敲诈。”而克莫拉已经这样经营了很长时间。该组织总部位于那不勒斯，历史可以追溯到19世纪，最早是一个监狱里的团伙。这个团伙的成员在19世纪初获释之际，正赶上意大利血雨腥风般的政治斗争。通过提供安全保护，该团伙迅速壮大，俨然成为一支代表意大利贫困阶层的政治力量。

4. ‘Ndrangheta—Revenue: $4.5 billion

4、光荣会(‘Ndrangheta)收入：45亿美元

Based in the Calabria region of Italy, the ‘Ndarangheta is the country’s second largest mafia group by revenue. While it is involved in many of the same illicit activities as Camorra, ‘Ndrangheta has made its name for itself by building international ties with South American cocaine dealers, and it controls much of the transatlantic drug market that feeds Europe. It has also been expanding its operations in the U.S. and has helped prop up the Gambino and Bonnano crime families in New York. In February, Italian and American police forces arrested dozens of ‘Ndrangheta and Gambino family members and charged them with crimes related to the transatlantic drug trade.
