"The mafias are inserting themselves into all the spaces where regulations have not yet achieved a safe balance." Like the big business of wind power and renewable energy .

Roberto Saviano stated this on the sidelines of the energy convention ("Energies and Sustainability Confartigianato High School") underway in Domus de Maria.

"It should not be forgotten that in the wind energy sector, for example, Matteo Messina Denaro decided to invest a large part of his capital to be recycled ," the writer recalled, explaining that "he did not do so because he was interested in that sector in itself, but because he sensed that it offered a particular 'slipperiness': it was an opportunity ."

Thus, according to Saviano, organized crime distorts the rules of free competition: "Their companies win, not because they're more efficient or cheaper. Simply because they don't have to make a profit, they just have to launder."

A market distortion that affects honest entrepreneurs, Saviano concluded: "I'm happy to be here for this reason. Honest entrepreneurs are the first victims of mafia-run businesses, which are, in fact, unfair, because they're not meant to make a profit, but only to clean it ." Alternative energy, Saviano warned, must be and remain a legitimate field.
