In Italy not so much, and right now it is using the unregulated clandestine immigration as their violent arm (basically our mob makes arrangement to get immigrant countries criminals and mobsters in Italy, retaining part of the profit and overseeing their operations) so that traditional "mafia" is less named in the news.

Yet there still are obvious italian mob killings, one of the last I heard of right in my city - which is at the far North, nominally way outside traditional mafia turfs but actually not, as my family personally knew dozens of affiliates of various kinds - and it was the murder of a local politician. Mafia always worked underway with bribes and blackmails, only with the occasional beating or "disappearance", until Riina got to power and started what was all but formally a terror campaign.

Sadly, the mob is still there, still powerful as usual, and now nobody speaks of it since it is back to the usual, quiet, self. People disappear, legal and public documents disappear, witnesses keep suddenly forgetting about what they did see, judges keep mudding trials and so on so forth.
