2/15/13, "Italy makes 'Mafia' arrests over Sicily wind farms," BBC
"Police have arrested five people in eastern Sicily suspected of
involvement in Mafia corruption over contracts to build wind farms,
Italian media report....
The contract was worth some 120bn euros (£103bn).
In December, police arrested six people and seized 10bn euros
(£8.6bn) in assets in an investigation into suspected Mafia
infiltration of other renewable energy facilities in western Sicily,
Ansa reports.
The proceeds from contracts are believed to have been
channelled to the fugitive head of the Sicilian Cosa Nostra, Matteo
Messina Denaro.
The Cosa Nostra has been trying to get into the renewable energy sector for many years, Italian investigators say."
