The Italian government's plan to resolve Naples' garbage crisis may clear trash temporarily, but mafia control of waste disposal and politicians' inability to guarantee safe dumps means the problem will return, a noted expert on organized crime said Wednesday. Premier Romano Prodi on Tuesday announced a series of short- and long-term measures to resolve Naples' recurring crisis, saying three incinerators would be built, the army would be called in to remove trash piles, a new trash commissioner would oversee the problem and cities across the region would implement recycling plans.
