For any #boxing / #sport fan with no previous knowledge of these characters, we should be sceptical of simplistic caricatures that are served up by Online Fans OR stenographers masquerading as journalists!
There's a lot of sh*t out there! 🤳💻
Research & Critical thinking! 🤔

If we accept the @panorama programme #boxingandthemob then we have a situation whereby #OrganisedCrime has not only infiltrated BUT is dominating a Global/Professional Sport!
If that's the case, what's to stop these forces taking over #Football OR other major Sport next?

If you control the big name (e.g. Fury) & there is a lack of scrutiny in professional boxing - Bingo!

In some ways - Hats off - Good business!
Entertainment product - Fans - Leverage brand✅
Key issues though;
According to Irish, Spanish, UK police the source of those funds R allegedly from criminal enterprises!
(Drugs, Logistics/Trafficking, Weapons, 💰Laundering services).

Some funny goings on in #Liverpool under the stewardship of #JoeAnderson 👀
My current viewpoint might be influenced by some of the TV shows I watched during lockdown #Subura #Gomorrah #GangsOfLondon #LineOfDuty
But, it has a whiff of a Mafia fiefdom🤯

- Merseyside Police investigating City Council
- Lancashire Police - #OperationSheridan
- Serious Fraud Office, North West Serious Crimes Unit & GMP investigating property scams
- Council finances not being signed off by an auditor for the last 5 years
Something smells fishy🐟👀

Now, I realise it sounds bonkers to link TV shows about the Italian Mafia and how they infiltrate local councils and municipalities - I mean, that wouldn't happen in Lancashire or Merseyside... would it!?
Well, ye. It would...
Have a look 👀
