It's so much worse since Greece hasn't been infiltrated by the mafia on a state level. Greek politicians are corrupt but in a populist, power-to-rule-over-masses way. There are no large-scale mafia organizations that control parts of the country, parts of the government, like in Italy which is pretty much a mafia state. This means that rackets like toxic waste disposal (= poisoning your own land and killing your people) are unheard of in Greece.
