Following significant defeats in the 1990s, the Sicilian mafia, Cosa Nostra, has become less visible but still operates covertly. Recent investigations by the Palermo Prosecutor's Office have revealed a resurgence, with a massive operation resulting in 183 arrests across key clans. The findings showcase their blend of traditional methods with modern technology, including encrypted communications and the use of video calls by incarcerated bosses. This evolution highlights their resilience and ongoing threat, as they continue to engage in criminal activities such as arms dealing and internet gambling.
Cosa Nostra has gone from being overtly violent to more secretive and technologically advanced, using encrypted communications and dark web transactions to maintain operations.
This recent crackdown by law enforcement reveals not only the persistence of the mafia but also its adaptation to modern methods, including using video calls to coordinate actions.
