I visited Sicily a few years ago writing an article, and talked to quite a few people there who were still bothered about the mafia, specially in the countryside. Some of them wouldn't actually live in the countryside even if they worked there, and preferred to stay among other people in the towns. Does that still happen?
Did they ever manner to prosecute the craven bastards who murdered him?
Hi, Jenny. Not in this area but I can't speak for other provinces. Thye city is no safer where Mafia exists. Hi, jams. Sadly, no.
