"We must profoundly change the way we enforce punishment, and we are doing so: our punishment is closely linked to prison, and for a long time it was said that prison was the solution to all ills: instead, we must shift towards financial penalties because a mafia member or a corrupt individual has relatively little fear of spending a month in prison if they can pocket a few million euros; they are afraid if you threaten to take away their money and perhaps even their house: I believe we must move in this direction."
