全球收入最高的五大黑帮
4、光荣会(‘Ndrangheta)收入:45亿美元 总部位于意大利卡拉布里亚的光荣会,是该国收入第二多的黑手党组织。尽管他们的许多非法勾当与克莫拉类似,但真正让光荣会名声大噪的,却是他们同南美可卡因经销商建立起来的国际关系。该组织还在向欧洲供货的跨大西洋毒品市场上占有很大份额。此外,光荣会还在美国拓展业务,为纽约的甘比诺(Gambino)和波纳诺(Bannano)两个犯罪家族提供支持。今年2月,意大利和美国警方逮捕了数十名光荣会和甘比诺家族的成员,并以跨大西洋毒品贸易的罪名对他们发起指控。 5、西纳罗亚集团(Sinaloa Cartel) 收入:30亿美元 西纳罗亚是墨西哥最大的贩毒集团。作为南美非法毒品的生产商和难以遏制的美国毒品市场的中间人,他们是让墨西哥人十分恐惧的几个团伙之一。白宫毒品控制政策办公室(Office of Drug Control Policy)估计,美国人每年要消费1,000亿美元的非法毒品,而兰德公司(RAND Corporation)表示,其中的65亿美元流入墨西哥贩毒集团。西纳罗亚在其中大概有60%的市场占有率,因此以每年大约30亿美元的收入上榜。 西纳罗亚的头目在今年2月遭到逮捕。当领导人不在后,许多组织都会受到内部权利斗争的困扰。但西纳罗亚似乎已经避免了血腥且代价高昂的继承权之争。(财富中文网) 译者:严匡正 |
4. ‘Ndrangheta—Revenue: $4.5 billion Based in the Calabria region of Italy, the ‘Ndarangheta is the country’s second largest mafia group by revenue. While it is involved in many of the same illicit activities as Camorra, ‘Ndrangheta has made its name for itself by building international ties with South American cocaine dealers, and it controls much of the transatlantic drug market that feeds Europe. It has also been expanding its operations in the U.S. and has helped prop up the Gambino and Bonnano crime families in New York. In February, Italian and American police forces arrested dozens of ‘Ndrangheta and Gambino family members and charged them with crimes related to the transatlantic drug trade. 5. Sinaloa Cartel—Revenue $3 billion Sianola is Mexico’s largest drug cartel, one of several gangs that has been terrorizing the Mexican population as it serves as the middleman between South American producers of illegal drugs and an unquenchable American market. The White House Office of Drug Control Policy estimates that Americans spend $100 billion on illegal drugs each year, and the RAND Corporation says that about $6.5 billion of that reaches Mexican cartels. With an estimated 60% market share, Sinola cartel is raking in approximately $3 billion per year. Despite the fact that Sinaloa’s leader was arrested February, the cartel seems to have avoided the sort of bloody—and costly—succession battle that has plagued some groups when a leader is taken out of commission. |
