The links between organised crime and corruption have grown to become an important research agenda of international interest. It is not surprising, therefore, that the UN Convention against Corruption 2003 (UNCAC – known as the “Merida Convention”), drew attention to the importance of this phenomenon, the worrying links between corruption and other forms of crime, with particular reference to organised crime. Organised crime and corruption overlap an reinforce each other practically and culturally as well.

Abstract
The links between organised crime and corruption have grown to become an important research agenda of international interest. It is not surprising, therefore, that the UN Convention against Corruption 2003 (UNCAC – known as the “Merida Convention”), drew attention to the importance of this phenomenon, the worrying links between corruption and other forms of crime, with particular reference to organised crime. Organised crime and corruption overlap an reinforce each other practically and culturally as well. In this paper, I will consider the links between organised crime and corruption, and attempt to identify the "criminal fabric and its resources that pollute heavily economics, politics and the life of the country, reducing the potential for human, economic and civil development" (Arnone, 2009, 7).
