This book estimates the proceeds of crime and mafia revenues for
different criminal markets such as sexual exploitation, drugs,
illicit cigarettes, loan sharking, extortion racketeering,
counterfeiting, illicit firearms, illegal gambling and illicit
waste management. It is the first time that scholars have adopted
detailed methodologies to ensure the highest reliability and
validity of the estimation. Overall, estimated proceeds of crime
amount to EURO 22.8 billion: 1.5% of the Italian GDP. Of this, up
to EURO 10.7 billion (0.7 of the GDP) may be attributable to the
Italian mafias. These figures are considerably lower than the ones
most frequently circulated on the news, without any details about
their methodology, which were defined by a UN study as "gross
overestimates". Far from underestimating criminal revenues, the
results of this study bring the issue of the proceeds of crime to
an empirically-based debate, providing support for improved future
estimates and more effective policies. The volume's contributions
were inspired by a project awarded by the Italian Ministry of
Interior to Transcrime, which produced the first report on mafia
investments (www.investimentioc.it). This book was originally
published as a special issue of Global Crime.
