US diplomatic cables revealed by #WikiLeaks full of wonderful info abt Russian mafia, BUT NOT abt Italian mafia. Interesting.
@SMaurizi Shoot, I knew that they ended in 2010. So this preceded the TCO selectivity.

@emptywheel with prominent knowledge and inside info abt Italian mafia,and yet there are such a few cables abt Italian mafia! -
@SMaurizi Which may suggest that knowledge was passed on high side (TS/SCI) cables, not on SIPRNet. Which might suggest ties to intel. -
.
@emptywheel yes, indeed#WikiLeaks cables demonstrate MOST valuable info forwarded to top secret intel agencies

@emptywheel Italian mafia to the CIA, and other intel services -
@SMaurizi Right. If knowledge is in there but not in leaked cables (I've seen very interesting such cases) good chance it's more classified -
.
@emptywheel I agree, but why so many gorgeous cables abt RUSSIAN mafia in the database,whereas almost no cables abt ITALIAN mafia? -
@SMaurizi Going back to TCO designations, why name Zetas but not Sinaloa? Why pick and choose Yakuza? -
.
@emptywheel and going back to Italian mafia,why some of the most valuable cables abt Italian mafia forwarded to Afghanistan? -
@SMaurizi Clearly some--maybe lots--of it was SIGINT. But I'm wondering where else. -
.
@emptywheel sorry, do not understand your question: how the US get intel on Vatican bank corruption? Or how Italian prosecutors get it? -
@SMaurizi Both, because I think they may be related. But let's just say Italian prosecutors for the moment. - 1 more reply
