Italy's hierarchy of power:

Football League SERIE A (Soccer for the US friends)

Government

This seems crazy, but it is. Literally nobody cared about piracy until it started touching soccer

Wrong. Judges are independent there, so they rank higher than the government.

Ah ok, here's an updated hierarchy:

Football SERIE A

Judiciary

Mafia | Government

Policia

Public

Non-italians

Better. But you are missing media. The last fascist emperor came to power because of his media conglomerate.

Who?
