the lethal weapon ...... 
Marco Travaglio
Knight Dear, we are always us who have always said everything in the face, never behind. The only ones that can be trusted. Heed: Never mind Giuliano Ferrara. With his kiss of death, has made him more dry cholera. Remember the Communist Party? Ferrara was, we know it is finished. Craxi Remember? Ferrara was, we know it is finished.
Remember the first Berlusconi government? He was Minister of Relations with Parliament and Spokesman: We know it is finished, after just seven months. Remember the elections at Mugello? He was there: we know how that turned out, the center 16% Di Pietro in triumph. Remember
the war in Iraq? He was, indeed bushi was more than Bush, so much so that the Anglo-American troops entered Baghdad on board Giuliano Ferrara: we know how that turned out, a retreat that Caporetto comparison was a triumphal march. Remember my list No Abortion? Ferrara was: we know how that turned out, more eggs in the face that votes. She does not remember the percentage of albumin-play television programs and budgets comatose Ferrara of the paper, which has more journalists than readers, because I fear that she may know them better than me. Among the great catastrophes of the twentieth century, Ferrara has not only the earthquake of Messina and the last voyage of the Titanic, but no ill will, because it was not yet born.
For more information contact the latest victims of his deadly effluvia: D'Alema, he argued for the Quirinale (Napolitano was elected); Rutelli, whom he supported for the Capitol (Alemanno won); Veltroni, whom he praised for its dialogue with she (and now lost); Sarah Palin, he launched against Obama (a matter of fact ..). Four months ago, Fini had the wind at your back, then Ferrara dangerously approached him and complimented him Financo: nobody ever recovered, poor man. Lately, looking around for the next prey, did not see a pile of dead bodies.
Then, in the distance, he saw a man, say a little man, still alive: her Knight. And was against reckless to complete the work. Now giving advice, writing speeches, interviews makes deciding the questions and answers (even made her say "I am a sinner", but how dare you?), Thanks to his new monologue to Tg1 absence of journalists (in fact c ' was Petruni) and now also organizes a strange event at the Teatro Dal Verme (where else?), with pants hanging and the likes of testimonial and Ostellino Sallusti (Tibia uncle, what is believed to be in and John Rana tv talk of this and that with Cavour and Garibaldi).
All bungabunga to defend "against the Puritans: that he was leading the all'altroieri up with Family Day and even wanted to force women infertile patients implanted embryos in the uterus.
Here, Knight, not the suspect that Ferrara is the lethal weapon that disengaged on its domestic enemies? Look in a mirror, Mr. President: until a few weeks ago she wallowed in the disco of bungabunga with thirty or forty supergnocche to scream and now stands between a sad Ferrara, a Sallust, a gentleman and a Brachino (there was also Brachino, we read, the last summit of Arcore, but realizes, Brachino?).
that we now understand it on the fly, we took the deep meaning of that phrase of his, the other day: "Maybe for me, I'd go for the world to base hospitals." It was a last, desperate attempt to get rid of the vice of these parasites and saprophytes that suck the last vital humours. They stand there as the seconds of boxing, perched on the corner to give good advice, as she takes the ring barrel orbi ever played and dazed, "Go Silvio you're the best!", "Next, so that's it! "" One more and you have the right fist in victory. " They know very well that if you spring, they must find a job, or another master. Take a listen to us, send them to work and go away for the world to base hospitals.
So maybe, finally, the hospital.

The Camorra boss in the polls ... The masters of the vote ... Here's how clans organize the collection of votes from house to house and permit rapid career politicians linked to the clan ....
by Roberto Saviano
portrait of a boss of the Camorra, the ledger
Grand Hotel camorra the second part of the report "The Camorra runs thousands and thousands of votes. The more people move away from politics, most feel that they are all equal and all more incapable we are able to buy votes.
and we aim on the renewal of local administrators.
We did what we elected the youngest mayor at the time was Italian: Alfredo Cicala mayor of Melito.
went out one thousand articles about him, the young Margherita's mayor, said. But he was our man. "
It is the last conversation with Maurizio Prestieri, Secondigliano boss who decided to cooperate with the prosecution and has since lived under police protection. And the story it tells, that of mayor of Melito, a story is tragically common in Campania.
Cicala, after the triumph and a few years in office, ends up in jail, arrested for conspiracy to die Camorra: The seized goods are worth 90 million euro.
a huge sum for a mayor of a town, unthinkable a short time to earn a figure so large and impossible to be the owner of entire clusters of its territory without condo behind us were the capitals of the clan.
In this case the money of drug trafficking of the Di Lauro-Prestieri. But Cicala is not any one: before stopping makes two parallel careers in politics and in the clan. Become a board member of the provincial and Margaret according to the investigation also fails to influence the election after the junta Di Gennaro, then dissolved to mafia infiltration.
Called by the Camorra "or auditor" is the only politician who can attend meetings of the bosses. Of course, participated in several demonstrations against the law and the Camorra Camorra (especially against the enemy of his family clan).
In short, the perfect personality for business and government cover an area. The investigation
"Nemesis" of the DDA in Naples who is investigating the system election Melito describes the climate of the area as "the Chicago of the '30s." Cicala becomes the candidate of the clan to defeat Bernardino Tuccillo, a mayoral candidate from another part of the center.
Tuccillo is estimated, heard, determined, the mayor and the Camorra was trying to boycott it in every way. Has the means to do so. "Some candidates - said Tuccillo - came to me crying, begging me to tear up the forms with the acceptance of their applications.
Others, pale and frightened, I communicated that they had to nominate their wives in the line opponent."
One morning she found the posters announcing in mourning his death posted throughout the city Melito.
He understood that was the last warning. Like many other administrators to well Campania Tuccillo was left alone by the national policy.
Now there are many in the local Democratic Party members who supported and collaborated with Alfredo Cicala.
Prestieri knows the political bell. "For politicians during the election campaign the mafia becomes honest stuff, as an institution without which you can not do anything. I had made a study.
elegant study, I had bought expensive antiques, pieces of ancient archeology, paintings important in tunnels where they were going all the great Italian managers to furnish their homes.
And the tapestry I had made with the fabrics that were bought by the decorators carpeting La Fenice Theatre in Venice. In this study, was receiving people. I gave advice, I took the names for recruitment by our politicians to do. The complaints of people.
If you had a problem you can solve it in my office, not going by the unions, the non-existent doors to the City.
Again, the Camorra is more efficient. It has a dynamic bureaucracy. "
Maurizio Prestieri actually lived in Naples increasingly less and less between Slovenia, Ukraine and Spain.
But when the vote was at hand. During the campaign was necessary to have in the head area. "I come from a family that voted Communist Party, my father was an honest worker and when I small led me to all events, I remember the speeches of Berlinguer, the red flags, clenched fists in the sky. But then we have all become
Berlusconi, everyone. My clan has always supported the first Forza Italy, and then the People of Freedom.
I do not know how the change, but it was natural to be with those who want to make money and you takes away all problems and rules in the middle ".
Prestieri knows exactly how it carries on an election campaign. From my Camorra shares the politicians call "the horses" are just people to bet on for getting it to the City, the Province, the Parliament, the Senate, to the Government.
"I once did the president of seat, 11 years ago. We do open seats in the election campaign, when it is forbidden not only to convict and buy those that have not yet voted, but to show us the people who go to vote, as if to say you check. Sometimes we did
rumor that in some polling stations the cameras it was a nonsense, but people are afraid and did not buy from other political or persuaded by some speech. "
The campaign is long but the clan can to manage by intimidation on the one hand and the consensus reached by a simple exchange. "I myself was going to take them one by one.
infirm old people I brought her up to her seat just to vote. No one had ever done. Ensure that the seats worked in hospitals, we paid the cost to poor families, the bills for pensioners, the first mesata Renting for young couples.
should all vote for us and buy them cheap. Organized excursions by coach to go to the polls. The clan Secondigliano to pay 50 € and vote often bribing the president of the polling station you know more or less if a few families, ten or fifteen people, it was sold to another.
We did hear the important people with a sandwich and a bill paid. If democracy is to involve people, we are a democracy because we go by all. Then they vote for us and we make our cocks.
contracts, squares shop, concrete investment. This is business. "
Prestieri Today is almost disgusted when he talks about these things, feels he has played with the soul of people, and is something that you dirty inside. And for Italian politics has a total disregard, as everyone the Camorra.
ask him if he had only ever supported the policy of one party. Prestieri smiles: "We do, apart from small local exceptions, as in Melito, but the mafia is divided areas, and so it also divides politicians. We face every time with Moccia who have always supported the center. We celebrate when he won election to Berlusconi and they celebrated when they won the municipal or regional Bassolino and companionship.
Naples city has always was left, and we did too comfortable, all those far-left and front of the Orientale Piazza Bellini or smoked hashish and grass, or you bought it financed coca.
Freedom, freedom against the power they said, against capitalism and then the smoke and the buying cocaine by the ton. So even those on the left but then voted for their money we were using them to support our candidate of the center. "
ask him if he ever met political center." No, never but I am sure that the clan together for Moccia supports Licciardi the center because they were our rivals, and then we talked back and forth between us and the division with their politicians. We
we went after when they won the next, because it meant that they were more business, more contracts, more money, less control. "And political center, never met?" Yeah sure, I've been an activist for years and years of Force and Italy then the PDL. I met one of the most important of the Party of Freedom in Campania.
I can not name because there is the confidentiality of investigations, but I remember that in March 2001, just months before the election, this person, followed by a sea of \u200b\u200bpeople stood in Piazza della Libertà in my house. I was the balcony, enjoying the spectacle of the crowd that followed him (all the work that we had pushed our people to acclaim), and this policy, even ignoring the police who were escorting him, he began blowing kisses to greet me with open stage. I got out and went to say goodbye, we hugged and kissed each other as relatives, while the crowd cheered this scene.
This I liked because he was not ashamed to come under the house of a boss to ask for votes and I saw a man of power with which to talk. He knew who I was and what I did. I was already in jail I had two brothers killed in a massacre. It was in my neighborhood, everyone knew who was in Naples had to do when it had to do with me.
In my study, however, was at that time a well-known gynecologist, one of the stars of artificial insemination in Italy. When they wanted a candidate for mayor was to offer 150 million lire in return for support. He could not accept because the clan had already chosen another horse. "
Politicians know how to reciprocate. Strategies that depend on the degree of involvement with the clan there. If you are a direct offshoot, there will be no contract that not be given to business friends.
If the clan but has given only an "external support", the political will reciprocate with advisors in key positions. Then there are the politicians who must keep their distance, and then merely to avoid the contrast, construction zones or sites to generate endless fodder for the clan and give him the sop. "I have always felt Neapolitan friend of the policy of the center.
For over ten years I have even had a permit for the disabled because I was an active supporter of the PDL. In the jargon of mafia pass that we call the mongoloid. With the parking lot where I wanted, when I turned there were the ecological Sundays throughout Naples deserted. Beautiful.
Lord of coca, the owner of the policy in local government, the Di Lauro clan - Prestieri becomes increasingly rich, find new areas of investment: China enters the market where fake to investment finance.
There was the problem of managing the money, recycle, invest. "Enzo, a son of Paolo Di Lauro had a way with the computer and moved in a flash money from one place to another. And to my surprise that there was once one of our meeting, they talked of buying a package of shares of Microsoft.
They had a man in Switzerland, Peter Virgil, who was a collector with the banks. Without Swiss banks we would not have existed. "
But in reality it is the rise of the cause of the fall. Everything seems to change when it comes to national attention on them, and comes because the clan now travel more and more, between the Switzerland, Spain, Ukraine and Di Lauro entrusts everything to his children.
this takes autonomy to the managers, capizona that his father regarded as independent contractors. deprive the children's funds and decisions and make it pay. Cleave. And a fierce war broke out, a massacre in which there are four deaths a day. "I always say we should not be VIPs, but polyvinyl chloride." Polyvinyl chloride? I ask.
What?
"The L stands for the Local." Very Important Person, Local! The important thing is to be important only in the fence. "The greatest damage you have done by writing the Camorra is that you gave too much light.
That was the trouble. If you can shoot a polyvinyl chloride in Scampia, sell cocaine, to frighten, to have a cool bar owned by you, the females who look at you because you put fear: a short six efficient. But if I put under the light of all Italy, the risk is that the national reputation that cracks me local because Italy is a criminal and nothing else. Attention
disgraced me, says I'm a violent one that is dirty business and even magistrates and police force to act quickly, and there are no more bribes to defend you. "
Prestieri decided to cooperate, but not about himself as a penitent, but as a soldier who betrayed his army.
"No, not a regret, it would be too easy to delete what I did today is just a dirty uniform of the Camorra." But the weight of what has made him feel. "The innocent victims who did my group have remained inside. Especially one. There was a guy who bothered to our entrepreneurs, imposed recruitment, was stealing the cement.
had to kill him but did not know the name. Only where he lived. Thus one who knew his face lurks under the house with two killer.
had to shake hands with the victim: that was the signal. An hour passes nothing, nothing pass two, then a guy comes out, grabs it and shakes the hand of our man, to shoot the killers but this just screams "nunnn'è iss, iss nunn'è, not him!" Useless. Not only is dead, but then everyone said that that guy was a racketeer, as the Camorra is never wrong.
Only we knew we had nothing to do. We and the mother who is hoarse saying that his son was innocent.
No one has ever believed in Naples. I morally in the coming months I will endeavor to do justice to this guy, in the process. "
Anyone who enters into a criminal organization knows his fate. imprisonment and death. Prestieri But he hates the prison. It is not a boss used to live in a hovel on the run, always hidden, always armored.
is accustomed to the good life. And probably this led him to collaborate with justice. "The prison is hard.
In Italy especially. We all hoped to be held in Spain. There once a month, if you behave well, you can be with a woman, then there are gyms, activity in the prison. If you tell me five or ten years in Spain in Poggioreale, you say ten in Spain. "
As the prison at Santa Maria Capua Vetere in Caserta have built companies from the prison Secondigliano Casale also have built businesses in the Secondigliano clan.
"We did visit the site before it was delivered. And we joked. O 'Chinese here you end. O' Sicco on this cell is already in your name. We visited the jail where each of us then would be over.
I made more than ten years in prison, and never a day I made my bed. When you're a leader of the Italian Mafia in any prison they send you, there's always someone who builds a bed, kitchen you, makes you nails and beard. In prison when you are no one is tough.
But in the end we are all evil in jail and we all fear. I have seen with my own eyes Vallanzasca, that was a myth just because the north mafia men do not know them almost kiss the hands of the guards.
Poor thing, it was a life full of shit in jail, was totally under the thumb of the guards. And I said, this is the mythical Vallanzasca where everyone was afraid of? What stands at attention, hands behind his back just pass a jailer? After ten years in prison in truth you are a lamb, all tremble when we hear that they're being the GOM (mobile operating groups) that when something does not go to jail come in bunches. "
I do the last question, and is the usual question on talk shows to former criminals pose.
Laughing to do the "What would you say to a kid who wants to become a racketeer?
"Prestieri laughs too, but so bitter.
" I can not teach anybody anything. There are many reasons why it becomes a racketeer, among them poverty is often only an excuse.
I have my life, my tragedy, my disasters, to defend my family, my sins to be served. I'm only happy about one thing, that my children are university students, away from this world, good people. The only thing clean in my life. "
