On 1 August 2012 the Mayor of Milan, Giuliano Pisapia and the members of the Anti-Mafia Committee presented to the press the first half-yearly report on the activities carried out by the Committee (see attachments).

"We have decided to publish the First Six-Monthly Report of the Anti-Mafia Committee of experts appointed by the Mayor Giuliano Pisapia on the institutional website of the Municipality of Milan so that it is a tool that can be used by all citizens. We believe it is important that citizens see firsthand what has been done so that the Anti-Mafia Committee does not remain an abstract and symbolic figure.
Three main aspects emerge within the Report:

• the alarm regarding the arson attacks that have attacked the city and its province in the last two years and which appear to be largely of clear mafia origin;
• the indication of precise routes to close the gaps to mafia-type crime in public works as much as possible;
• the invitation to increasingly enhance the potential of the social anti-mafia of Milanese civil society.

The Committee therefore delivers to the Mayor, the city Administration and all the bodies that in various capacities are committed to combating mafia organizations in the city, the firmest conviction - gained through observation of the facts and reality of recent years - that it is absolutely decisive, to obtain the necessary successes in terms of legality, the creation of institutions and forms of inter-force control based on personnel selected in ethical - professional terms and operating continuously according to strategic directives throughout the entire day, including working hours nocturnal".

On 17 May 2013, the Anti-Mafia Committee, consistently with the commitment undertaken by presenting the First Half-Yearly Report on 1 August 2012, delivered the Second Half-Yearly Report to the city and to all those who are committed to fighting "the mafias" (see section " Attachments") on their work, with a dual objective:

• on the one hand, recounting the commitment made by the Institutions and by the Committee itself, in support of the indications provided in the First Report, with particular reference to the Expo Milano 2015 event, the results achieved and, above all, those still to be achieved;
• on the other hand, to talk about a phenomenon, that of fires, "particularly indicative, in the eyes of the Committee, of the criminal pressure exerted on the Milanese metropolis".

The hope of the Committee is that the detailed analysis of the geographical and temporal distribution of the fires which occurred in Milan and its province to the detriment of movable and immovable property can constitute a further source of information for citizens and for all subjects who, for various reasons title, they fight organized crime.

The Third Half-Yearly Report has not been published as the document is confidential (see page 3 of the Fourth Half-Year Report).

The Fourth Half-Year Report (see attachments), in addition to returning to some issues related to the preparation of Expo Milano 2015 already extensively addressed in previous reports, it mainly touches on the problems related to the Commerce sector, of which it highlights the points of vulnerability in the face of pressure from mafia interests.
The objective that the Committee sets itself is to offer the municipal administration support in identifying the conditions that need to be solicited, encouraged, pushed but also directly promoted and guaranteed, so that mafia behavior and phenomena can be effectively combated.

“This Fifth Semi-Annual Report (see attachments) is proposed very close to the time in which (April this year) the previous Report was delivered to the Mayor. It therefore originates from a reason of urgency. If the Committee decided to invest the Mayor and in this way launch a thoughtful alarm to the city's public opinion, it is because he became aware, for reasons of his office, of facts that outline a situation that is disturbing in many respects. A situation quite different from that repeatedly represented in reassuring portraits, according to which the only problem of Milan Expo 2015 would be to build the pavilions planned on the exhibition area in time.
Hence the urgency. Because it's not true that "all the games have been played by now". Because there is still much work to be done, and the usefulness of many will be discovered in the coming months. And there are many services still to be guaranteed to exhibitors and tourists. Hence, sometimes, for the Committee itself, there is also a kind of compulsion to repeat things already declared. For the sake of not having been well understood. For the hope that new facts will give a greater value to words already spent. So that no one in the future can say that certain events took place without a "dedicated" structure like this Committee having felt the need to carry out its duty in full. That of warning, of denouncing."

This Sixth Report responds to one of the three "missions" entrusted by the Mayor of Milan to this Committee: to contribute to the promotion of social anti-mafia in the city of Milan.

After the previous reports aimed mainly at alerting about the presence of mafia organizations in the economy and in the city's society in view of Expo 2015, it was therefore decided to dedicate an important space to the representation of the anti-mafia experiences gained in Milan in recent years. The school, the university, the associations (including trade associations), the administration - with particular regard to the Area Councils - the art and above all the theatre: from everyday events emerges a very rich cross-section of subjects and initiatives that surprised the Committee itself and which highlights the reference function now carried out by the city on a national level.

At the same time, however, the recurrence of episodes of corruption and administrative opacity (even in the name of the anti-mafia!), the abdication of some public protection functions, the perpetuation of ideal situations for the penetration of mafia interests, even in 'Expo upon us, have induced the Committee to precede the "positive" part of the Report by the responsible exposition of what it defined as "permanent reasons for alarm".

This Seventh Report (see attachments) concludes the work of the Anti-Mafia Committee established in 2011 by Mayor Giuliano Pisapia. It intends to deliver to the new Mayor, to the new Anti-Mafia Committee but above all to the citizens the summary and meaning of almost five years of work completed in the service of the Municipality.

Limit the pressure of mafia interests on Expo 2015. Offer an updated overview of the presence of mafia crime organizations in the city. Promote social anti-mafia. These were the three objectives assigned by the Mayor to the Committee.

This Report explains what has been done to guarantee the achievement of these objectives, reconstructing the initial difficulties of action and indicating the successes obtained in a city that has been able to be more vigilant and aware than previously. And in the final part it provides the main recommendations that it seemed right to transmit to the new Administration, to the new Committee and to the city as a whole, as the result of its own experience.

So that mafia interests find ever narrower gaps to pass through and the city is defended with the necessary effectiveness and responsibility.
