The Mafia could be "between IPrincipal beneficiaries" of the construction of the bridge over the Straits of Messina, however, that "will serve to little without massive investments in roads and railways in Sicily and Calabria. Italian politicians "do little" in the fight against organized crime, while the Catholic Church must "cooperate more." E 'analysis of U.S.diplomat J. Patrick Truhn, Consul General in Naples, contained in five telegrams dated between 2008 and 2009 and published by Wikileaks. The U.S. diplomat also mentioned Roberto Saviano, calling it "a compass for the fight against the Mafia," saying the U.S., organized crime there is "lack of commitment at the national level." In the most recent of 15 June 2009, Truhn analyzes the situation in Sicily, after a clash between political Raffaele Lombardo and "the party of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, political uncertainty, among other things has" stuck to an American operation and gas drilling threatens to postpone a major satellite communications system of the U.S.
Navy. " The main beneficiary of the bridge over the Strait "could be" hence the mafia, from both sides, "if anything will be built," and still "serve little without massive investments in roads and infrastructure in Sicily and Calabria." The paragraph is entitled, perhaps with unintended irony, "The Bridge to More Organized Crime" (The Bridge to a more organized crime, ed.) In another despatch of June 2008, the U.S.
consul writes that "while the business associations, citizen groups and the Church, at least in some areas, are showing promising commitment to the fight against organized crime, the same can not be said of Italian politicians, especially at national level. " The Catholic Church is also "often criticized for not taking" strong public positions against organized crime, those "few priests who do" end up in the Commons, then Washington could be considered "to seek" greater cooperation "with the Vatican.
The U.S. Consulate General in Naples, in another dispatch, denounces the lack of interest shown by President of the Region of Sicily, Raffaele Lombardo, the demands to meet. Lombardo has little time for foreign officials, and as president of the Province of Catania has given "only a phone call five minutes" with the U.S.
Consulate General in Naples, and as president refused to "receive both Ambassador Ronald Spogli both the diplomatic staff of Palermo. " You read in a despatch of June 2009, in which the diplomat complained, inter alia, the "misinformation" put in place by some politicians in Sicily who "blocked without good reason," the drilling of Texas "Panther Eureka Gas" in Ragusa, and satellite communication system of the U.S.
Navy near Niscemi.
