The state and the organized crime

In this article the author speaks about the ways of connection between the state and the organized crime. Corruption is the common way of that connection, but here the author pays special attention to another way of that connection, when the state, its secret police and intelligence organizations use some individuals and groups from the world of the organized crime to commit some covered actions that are very important for the country and its safety. On the other hand, the secret police and intelligence services can not be totally transparent, as a matter of fact they can not give the permission to everybody in the Parliament to know everything about their actions and their budget. That means that some part of their finances always has to remain secret for those who are not directly involved in the work of those intelligence organizations, i.e. it means that the intelligence services must have some secret funds which are usually filled up with the money earned on the business with drug trafficking and some other illegal business. In this article the author gives some short historical presentation of the facts of the use and abuse of mafia by the state and its secret police. He also pays special attention to the CIA's secret, covered actions that sometimes were the other name for the collaboration with mafia in the fight against the communism in Vietnam and Latin America. The author thinks that all of that can be very useful and comparable with the situation in our country and our fight against the organized crime
