A police report referring to the early 1960s published in the files of the antimafia commission cites a figure of 139 commissionari. This number, however, includes the employees of commissionari and not just the licensed dealers. See Santino and La Fiura (1990: 402) for a mistaken reading of these statistics.

XREF: This may connect to the reader's understanding of organized crime's legitimate-business penetration in Sicily, or to earlier statistical claims in the source.
