if on the one hand there are more earning opportunities for criminals, on the other the law enforcement have also evolved and with today's techniques it is easier to solve cases
That's true, but we also see after strict anti mafia laws after the Falcone and Borsellino bombings that Meloni's government is watering down Italy's anti-mafia laws.
I don't think that Meloni is directly involved with organized crime (unlike other prime ministers), but rather tries to water down the anti-mafia laws to save her allies, even at the local level.
