Taxi business and Speed boats;

translates roughly into a shift in power structure in the taxi mafia,

boat mafia protection, and their real estate trading interests.

Now with the huge raid this AM a few more of the network will be scooped up

and deals made to hang the leadership out to dry.

Just 1 mafia group against another mafia group, let them kill each other

If only a suspect, a re-enactment of his crime,,,,,, am I missing something ?
