Oh, yeah, I can remember a whole 3 cases of high-up Mafia types going to
trial for anything more than tax-evasion in the last decade. :) And
remember, they couldn't prove that the Mafia even EXISITED before the
late '70s. Up until that time, it was just 'The Mob'. It wasn't until the
'70s that they proved it was an international organisation.

And the exisitence of the Yakuza and the top-tier Triads has never been
PROVED, either... they've NEVER caught a top-rank Yak for being a
top-rank Yak.
