Speaking about all things mafia.
Yes, with the massive Italian community in Australia, there is no doubt the Mafia is alive and well and doing a roaring trade in all major Australian Cities - especially Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
Just recently, the Australian Federal Police in conjucnction with the FBI did a covert sting operation where they managed to inflitrate the mafia with their app which was end to end encrypted. The Mafia, thinking it was safe, used this app to send messages over the last couple of years, all intercepted by AFP and FBI.
They managed to arrest 847 organised crime figures in Australia, USA, UK and France. But not in Italy.
250 of the arrests in Australia. But I just learned moments ago, that a family associate of ours, was one of the 250. I alwyas knew he wasn't too bright. I mean fancy using an app to communicate when you are committing major organised crime.
I bet you Mick Gatto and Johnny Ibrahim never used the app. Because they got brains people. Always in and out of court but not a single allegation stuck.Because they don't talk and answer police questions under any circumstances. And anyone who turns informant is as good as dead so they prefer to go to jail and live insread.
I can't mention any names. As all are still innocent till proven guilty and the MSM and AFP haven't released any of the names of the people they have arrested. So I'm not going to either. BUT all I can say, this guy was a stubby or 2 short of a 6 pack. A couple of pavers short of a pavement.
Doesn't look bright enough to be in the upper echelons of organised crime involving the Italian Mafia of all things.
And, the real head honchos are still at large. So how do they expect us to believe the AFP and FBI are so clever, when the figureheads at the very top of the pyramid, are just too smart for them. They have been fighting a losing battle with the Mafia for years. All running big businesses, and appearing on TV and radio as special guests. Smart and very charismatic individuals to boot. If you watch The Sopranos, that is exactly what the figure heads are like.
Now, apparently, Greeks and Cypriots are flying the Greek and Cypriot flag very high in this issue. We are well represented.
