anti-mafia legislation

Anti-mafia legislation refers to laws designed to combat organized crime, particularly groups involved in activities like drug trafficking, extortion, and human trafficking. These laws empower law enforcement to investigate, prosecute, and dismantle criminal organizations. They often include measures for asset seizure, tougher sentencing, and protection for witnesses who testify against mobsters. The goal is to disrupt the operations of these groups, protect communities, and promote justice by ensuring that members of such organizations face significant legal consequences for their actions. Countries like Italy and the United States have developed comprehensive anti-mafia laws to address these serious societal threats.
