Posted by The Italian police have arrested the alleged boss of the powerful Neapolitan Casalesi clan.
Roberto Saviano
Nicola Schiavone is suspected of succeeding his father, the notorious “Sandokan”, as the top boss of the clan after his father was sentenced to life in prison.
In an open letter published by the left-liberal daily La Repubblica Roberto Saviano calls on the father to show remorse and cooperate with the judiciary:
“You have been behind bars for ten years. Now they also have your son. Show them that you are still a human being and not just a collection of human tissue that drags itself full of resentment and greed from cell to cell.
… I know you think business is going well now. The economic crisis has given it a boost and legislation is turning into a protective shield for you, because with the new bugging law your son would never have been tracked down and arrested.
… I grew up in the land of the Camorra and I know how you think. Those who fear death and imprisonment are wimps. You and your friends always win because unlike the politicians you’re willing to make sacrifices. But sooner or later they’ll bring you to your knees. You and your dirty deals with cement, votes and toxic waste. Now you have the chance to at least make up for some of the injustices you have committed. Show your cards. Give up your power. Cooperate with justice.”
