Mafias & Banks - Season 1

Season 1

Mafias and Banks: two opposite worlds. They share the same taste for luxury, risk, and easy money yet they despise and fear each other and both have connections to the government.

For a long time, criminals robbed banks, ripping them open and emptying their safes. It wasn't until the end of the Second World War that the mafias realized just how much profit they could make from banking institutions, and later from finance.

In the background, the Cold War provided protection for the Panamanian dictator and the Mafia bank alike. For the first time, governments tried to follow the money to crush criminal organizations. But the Reagan and Thatcher years were those of deregulation, and the opportunities for money laundering exploded.
