They should give them an offer they can’t refuse (sorry, I had to).
The Italian government sent 250 more troops to Naples on Monday to help fight an upsurge of violence in the crime-plagued city.
Local police are struggling to bring order to the Naples area, where 12 people have been killed this year in murders linked to a mob turf war.“From today, 250 soldiers will take part in high-impact operations in Naples,” Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said in a statement.
About 900 soldiers are already assigned to security operations in Naples but local officials had called for further help following the wave of killings, including three last week.
Maya if they let Hollywood in Naples to do “Mobwives of Naples” in there for some reality teevee, the area could be gentrified. Or, perhaps one of our generous book publishers can offer “tell all” deals to key players in their organizations, which will fracture the fabric of their criminal bonds.
900 troops might work too.

There are some interesting recent books about mob control in Italy. Zero Zero Zero by Robert Saviano who had to be under police protection for years because of his writings.
http://www.amazon.com/ZeroZeroZero-Roberto-Saviano/dp/1594205507/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1455565280&sr=1-1&keywords=Zero+zero+zero
And there is a series of 4 novels by an apparently female author from Naples whose identity is kept secret, perhaps for the same reason Saviano has been under police protection. These are novels, and are told from a woman’s point of view. But they have that feel of “Names have been changed to protect the guilty’ about them. They seem an accurate account of how mob rule affects families, friends and social groups. And many of the situations described are similar to many of the ones described by Saviano.
Both are translated from the Italian, as these are both Italian authors, living their whole lives right in the middle of all this mob control.

Books like these make a person glad to live in the U.S. for sure.
Reminder: Draghi was selected for his position specifically because he is Italian. A form of central bank jawboning….Italy is notorious for printing its way out of trouble….temporarily anyways.
