Italy - "Death from the deep" - illegal radioactive waste dumping is poisoning nearby residents (Oct.2009)
A Cargo Ship, sunk by a former Mafia boss, was recently found 20 kilometres off the coast of Cetraro in Italy. Inside the ship was 120 barrels of toxic waste. Was the Italian government involved?
Francesco Fonti believes the government were working with the Mafia Boss.
The ship was chartered by the Italian government to bring toxic waste back from Lebanon waste that had originally been trans
More..ported there illegally by Italian companies. When Mafia bosses sunk the ship with the deadly toxic and radioactive waste inside, a government cover-up may have ensued.
However this is only one of many ships sunk off the coast of Cetraro and many believe that side-effects are beginning to show. The authorities have launched an investigation into the unusually high numbers of tumours and other diseases in this area, reveals one conservationist.

Confirms there's nothing romantic about the mafia." Less..

I've mentioned this here before but it appears to me that the US has a strange predilection for making cultural heroes and icons out of some of it's worst villains. From Billy the Kid, Jessie James, Capone, Giotti, even Manson. et al. The Gangster rap thing seems to have even made it into an artform.

Everyone loves clean nuclear power, nobody wants the waste.

What do you expect from those spaghettis eaters, they are so corrupt they voted for a bigoted mafiozzi for president. To think Italy was once the Roman Empire is funny.

Rap is more popular overseas than it is in America, heck most of our shit entertainment is more popular over seas than here.
As far as Italy goes, corruption and crime is and has been the governing force there for decades.

If you knew what the US Mil does every day and the Soviets did to Antarctica, it would sicken you.
