Canada's
lax currency laws allow billions of dollars
to be
laundered here annually and interfere with
international
investigations, one of the world's top Mafia
fighters said. Canada
has ''at least 10 organized-crime groups but
. . . there is no law
that targets organized crime, as there is
both in Italy and the
U.S.,'' Italian prosecutor Nicola Gratteri
told a Toronto symposium
on the global Mafia. Antonio
Nicaso,
an organized crime specialist
and the writer of several books, told the
audience Canada is the
''underworld laboratory for organized
crime.'' |
