A woman's fight against crime
Valery Costa started her carreer in the struggle against organised crime when she
took on
the difficult job of warder in a high security prison. She
took to
the job at once and was highly successful. Her work impressed the Ministry of Justice so much that she was
taken on
to help the fight against terrorist groups and drug-trafficers. Before she
took over
she had already become the general secretary of the justice department. She is not only the first woman to
take up
such a position in the government but also the first woman to be placed at the head of the war against organised crime.�She doesn't think that being a woman makes any difference to her role: "I'm making exactly the same sacrifices as the men who had the job before me. I'm
taking up
the story from where they left off - that's all."
