Italy seizes $1.7B in real-life ‘Godfather’ crime case

The fictional Don Corleone from “The Godfather” was born in Corleone,
 Italy, the same place Italian police targeted in their latest crackdown on the Mafia.

ROME — Italian authorities have seized $1.76 billion from Sicilian construction company officials with alleged ties to Mafia crime families in Corleone, a longtime Cosa Nostra stronghold.

Besides being a hotbed of mob activity, Corleone became synonymous with the Italian Mafia because of Francis Ford Coppola’s classic “The Godfather” film trilogy.

The three films chronicle the history of the Corleone crime family, which started in Sicily, became established and powerful in New York, and finally expanded to Las Vegas.

While the fictional Corleones from “The Godfather” were principally interested in gambling, Carabinieri police Col. Riccardo Sciuto said Wednesday that the Sicilian builders had made deals with the real-life Corleone Mafia, enabling them to win public contracts “at the expense of honest businessmen.”

Investigators say the infiltration of construction contracts, thanks to mobsters working inside local governments or the connivance of corrupt politicians, provides a lucrative income to the Mafia.

Aided by turncoats, prosecutors have put many of the Corleone clan’s top bosses, including longtime fugitives, in prison. Mainland-based crime syndicates have eclipsed the weakened Sicilian Mafia in influence in international drug trafficking, but corruption and extortion still enrich the Sicilian Mafia.
