Quite so. The Mafia Don does not merely bribe the police. He needs his rivals to know, as an open secret, that the police are on his payroll. He will not go through the courts to claim a legally unpaid debt. He has to send someone round to break someone's legs. If he went through the courts he would lose credibility. gb
