(CNN) -- Italy faces legal action over the waste crisis that has left piles of garbage rotting on the streets around the southern city of Naples.


 
The European Commission said Tuesday that the uncollected trash -- which started piling up shortly after Christmas -- posed a threat to the environment and human health and left Italy in breach of European Union rules on waste disposal.

You see? This is what happens when you stamp down on the Mafia - best to pay your "insurance", in case something like this happens.
