As part of the European multidisciplinary platform against criminal threats, the Central Operations Service of the Central Anticrime Directorate of the Italian National Police led an operational action focused on the priority ‘high risk criminal networks’. The action was carried out in partnership with the Joint Research Centre on Innovation and Crime of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (118) and with the participation of the Guardia di Finanza and the Anti-mafia Investigative Directorate, along with the support of the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol). It was designed to test the possibility of indexing the risk of mafia infiltration abroad on the basis of specific ‘indicators’ shared with the participants (119) by the various Italian institutional stakeholders called upon to contribute to the project. The analysis, which is innovative and based on the expertise acquired by Italy in the fight against the mafia, has therefore provided an interesting overview, resulting from the comparison between the contextual findings developed by the university and the in-depth studies on the subjects carried out by the investigative agencies involved (National Police, Guardia di Finanza and the Anti-mafia Investigative Directorate). The findings of the study, summarised in a series of charts, are therefore the result of a productive interaction established at an international level and provide useful insights into the need to create stable forms of information exchange and analysis that can enhance the ability to prevent and combat mafia infiltration.
