- Synopsis:
"Mafia Empire" is a three part documentary series which chronicles the development of organised crime and the Mafia in Sicily and the United States. It also examines the recent history of the Mafia's takeover of the global narcotics business in the late 1970's and early 1980's through to the dramatic mass trials in Italy in the last five years and the murders of Italy's top anti-mafia prosecutors. The series will reveal how the tentacles of the Sicilian Mafia reach into virtually every major European country and how just one family became a dominant force in the world of politics and finance of a major country in South America. The Series will also look at the impact of new technology on the changing face of organised crime - from the electronic movement of millions of dollars to the world's offshore financial centres to the Mafia's interest in Wall Street stocks and the new crime of internet gambling: Las Vegas in cyberspace. With a fund of riveting stories of murder, betrayal and million dollar deals, 'Mafia Empire' will tell the inside story of the Mafia from those who were once part of the world's most powerful criminal organisation paralleling the activities of members of law enforcement agencies from high level officials to undercover cops who worked on the streets to infiltrate the secret world of the Mafia. - Aka:
