Especially for the Italian Mafia, according to this article they turned over €140 billion last year, which represents 7% of total Italian GDP.

On the bit about the priest receiving a severed pigs head is interesting too

Slight correction, it's the 100 billion profit which represents 7% of Italy's GDP.

Amazing that they can generate so much money with such a large organisation, and almost nothing can be done to stop them.

The Vatican mafia aren't short a few pennies either.

Ha! We should have gotten our bailout off of the Mafia!
Better interest rates, and if we didn't pay, they'd 'take care of' Enda and his crew.
Win win!

If it's on a big enough scale it's not crime any more, it's business.
