Italian police arrested eight politicians and mobsters for allegedly taking over a wind power project on the island of Sicily through bribes and corrupt practices. Police in Trapani said that the local Mafia bribed city officials with luxury cars and other goods in nearby Mazara del Vallo so the town would invest in wind farms. The contract for constructing the project was ultimately awarded to a firm with ties to Cosa Nostra. In a fun twist, the mobsters actually stole a copy of a rival bid to fashion their own proposal. I guess it beats stealing trucks full of cigarettes.
