MILAN – The Italian police said on Sept 25 they arrested 61 people across four countries and seized €60 million (S$86 million) following an investigation into international drug trafficking and money laundering.
The case revealed criminal drug ties between Albania and Latin America, and once again showed how criminals in Europe are using shadow networks of illicit Chinese money brokers, the police said.
Finance police in the northern Italian city of Brescia said at least 400 officers carried out the arrests and searches in Italy, Albania, Switzerland and Poland, with the cooperation of local law enforcement and European police body Europol.

Cartels are making a killing now days. They used to pay like 30 cents on the dollar to launder. Now the Chinese charge them like half a percentage point. In turn the Chinese charge mainlanders 30 percent to buy that money in America. That’s a huge increase in money kept by the Cartels.
But wait, there’s more. They are making more money taxing the immigrants coming into America, than they are off drugs. Think about that for a moment. The people business is booming right now, and no one is allowed to stop it. Makes you wonder how much money is making its way to Washington?
Edit: I realize this is an Italian article. It’s an antidote about our situation.

That seems like a lot of money, but it’s just a drop in the bucket in all reality…
