3. PRESENCES OF Organized crime ON NATIONAL TERRITORIC AND EXTERNAL AND ACTIVITIES OF CONTRACT Antimafia a. National territory ABRUZZO Abruzzo is one of the territories in which there are no autochthonous mafia phenomena.

The peculiar geographical position, however, exposes it to the criminal influence of organizations from the neighbouring regions, in particular from Campania and Puglia, to which, according to recent investigative evidence, criminal organizations of Calabrian origin are added.

Investigative activities in recent years would also document the presence of criminal groups composed mainly of Albanians and Magrebines, as well as subjects of Roma ethnicity.

The latter, in particular, are represented by family groups which have become permanent over time both along the coastline and inland and are subject to previous investigations into drugs, usury, etc.

This is the only local delinquency phenomenon that could evolve into more complex forms of organized crime.

To better analyze the criminal phenomena present in Abruzzo, it is useful to share the territory in two macro-areas: the first identifiable in the coastline, where it would be documented the presence of exponents of Apulian crime, Calabrian, bell, of Roma ethnicity and also foreigners, in particular Albanians; the second includes the internal area, more exposed to phenomena of infiltration in the economic fabric by criminals.

In the inner areas of Abruzzo, there would also be criminals of North African origin and, even here, of Roma ethnicity, the first devoted mainly to drug trafficking, the second most oriented to wear practices.

Throughout the territory of Abruzzo, institutional attention remains high, also in terms of supervision and preventive verification by the Prefectures by means of the commitment of the Provincial Groups Interforze for the monitoring of the enterprises interested in the custody and execution of the contracts (in consideration of the funds allocated for the works of public and private reconstruction following the seismic events of 2009 and 2016/2017), as well as to the provision of equally important public funds in other areas of public interest.
