i love on that one little bit because i'm i have serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there but once i'm going to. want to know their story in full migrants terrified and reliable information for margaret's. you know first you know this came from an informer. you need to be careful they're really mad at you. your articles have made them very angry. you have to be much more careful than usual. their total scumbags. they wouldn't hesitate to detonate a bomb under your window or use a member of your family to seek revenge yes.

there have been two bomb explosions. ostia a seaside suburb of rome. this road links austria to the rest of the city. at the daily newspaper lottery book leka research regarding the explosions is underway. federica on jelly is a local reporter her beat is mafia activities. muslims present with whom two bombs exploded one in front of the house. and one on the balcony of the mother of the

principal witness tamara in a mafia case. tamara is a young woman who statements have helped police arrest thirty two members of the spada clan mafia. tomorrow's partner is the nephew of a high level criminal and this is when a criminal is murdered then his gang which includes the nephew here automatically gets absorbed into a stronger clan is always funny but they in their chain grab chain traffic back to their camp you for their. time for an editorial meeting. they have been bombs in austria evacuations in seven or wrists. there are some new developments in the story first there's the mother who's told me all about her daughter the principal witness who was tracked down by this spot has

. given a whole page. with a figure that this is her son calling oh hi is everything ok i'm taking care of your mother don't worry. they are not humans they're beasts i remember when they threatened my daughter's life my children don't have anything to do with it either this is just how it is so i know. i know but listen they won't win it just looks like they're winning. the straw it looks like they're winning but they're not. call you back in a minute don't worry tocsin. following the publication of her articles mafia family started making threats against federica she now lives under police protection. not a secret to not giving up the fight against the mafia is to find the strength to be

patient. if you can do that and you can put up with the bureaucracy of the justice system daniel managing not to lose your mind as. the location of this building is secret. it's guarded by soldiers and police officers around the clock. this is where sicilian journalist paolo di lives he's published articles naming cecilia mafia bosses reporting extensively on their business activities and shedding light on their ties to politicians. going to the school i've had police protection since the twentieth of august twenty fourth teen oh yes which was when i was attacked in egypt many of these hoarded men had left me more dead than alive and lying somewhere in the countryside. chad show

me what i spent months recovering at my parents' home you know working with my shoulder had been broken in three places and i couldn't move my arm so they put it . but i chained in the night of the twenty second of august me. they also tried to set my home on fire then w.t.f. walker could have. in his articles paolo has said that many sicilians prefer to rely on the mafia than the state to solve various problems. but he my most recent investigations and pocky know led to the arrest of a number of mafia bosses including an officer in the police force and thirteen which is where the famous tomatoes comforted me said you know i should. say i need one policeman working a case there no you didn't talk to his colleagues which would have been the obvious

thing to do. what to the local mafia bosses that shouldn't be happening that's not right and this culture of organized crime is worse than the actual mafia case eleven years. after the arsenate. back on his house paolo had no choice but to leave sicily and move to rome. after repeated attempts on his life and a number of death threats he now has the highest level of police protection available. he's accompanied by five police officers whenever he leaves his home including when he travels abroad.

for security reasons we can't show the faces of some of his bodyguards. paolo has been invited on a radio show to talk about his new book. welcome to the audio out of voice thanks for having me back to me that i mean this is this is just come off your boss once said. a murder every now and then put people's minds of the case. and you've been pegged as one of those murders. that's true and exactly luckily that didn't get you. ok it is. that phrase

a murder every now and then it appeared in the police recordings on the tenth of april aquino mafia plan to take me and my security detail out with a car bomb. it's also kind of like a metaphor for. because a murder now and then might go unnoticed. doesn't elicit public outrage. but journalists have to report on what they see that's their responsibility. everybody needs to get involved get their hands dirty. we journalists have to ask questions keep researching and probing it's not enough to be a critical voice you have to decide which side you're on it. stuff you can guide it so you shake it. off still has been controlled by organized crime syndicates for decades.

geographically speaking austria is too important to be left to the states there's the airport the ports the coastline. exploiting the region the way the mafia does is lucrative. there are legal and illegal markets from tourism to drug dealing. as a. clan has claimed the luxury villas along the beach and forced out the original residents either by violent means or in collusion with corrupt local authorities. federico anjali first made enemies of the new tory a spot of family in two thousand and thirteen when she was investigating a piece on property and restaurant licenses. that

we tracked them down to here we came with a camera team and went to this store. here some distance the room. between each other and all they were here among those that was sitting on a chair to the left he blew smoke in my face and threatened me so i need sadness coalition. he made a hand gesture and told me that the spot us are in control in austria and had everyone in the palm of their hand the police the corrupt and yeti the judges. and he said he told me he confiscate the camera and that he'd kill me if i didn't give it up first me and then my children he turned to the other person in the room

and said you know she has three children the youngest is very pretty she has blue eyes shall we start with her so that was a really tough moment for me if not all the momentum on the march. she managed to trick them and save the footage. federico was born and raised in austria despite the threats against her she and her family continue to live here. because it was a lawful tool nonetheless for one thing that was lucky was that my children were still very young when i was put under police protection so my husband and i were able to turn it into a game. we didn't want them to realize that people wanted their mother dead.

i. thought why did they do it i don't know that. figure or was it i mean we told the children that there could have been yeti were drivers the newspaper had given me as a reward for. my work. is whenever i was desperate in cried i'd try and hide my tears and i don't see any doubt. that you are. what. they say. well it up enough channels here to lots of people have advised us to leave austria and i live around the corner from the mafia boss. only thing is i believe that when you're fighting a war you can't leave the battlefield. so the anxiety you feel breathing the same air should be mutual.

on the grounds of the villa borghese in rome paolo is shooting an exclusive interview with another high profile target of mafia death threats giuseppe bombino president of the us promontory national park in calabria. bit on why our civil servants still willing to risk their lives in the style of. their purpose that not all of them because we can frighten the mafia with words and rules. the fortunes of a pretty pictures of people mina says that he and other civil servants are risking their lives by taking administrative action we journalists have a duty to give them a platform to stand in front of them and to reach out to them so they know they are

not alone i had a child but i hope i can show us all. how low lives alone and keeps a low profile. the mafia could strike at any minute. paolo reviews the interview footage in the editing room and gets to work on his report on . this he made it even if you were no voice stupid people who didn't have one. and are not going to stop there let's go to my

question so we'll keep it in there talk. to you this is where the phrase there are threats is almost literary they sent me a bomb in a message that read. for you were made from dust to enter dust to show returns. or. no it's yet. if it's only one person speaking out against the mafia only one person condemning them even if it's the president of an important national parks in calling out illegal activity say then he stands alone. that's been the problem again and again because then you're an easy target. but if there are many journalists willing to take a stand as well to condemn these criminals and speak out against them and if people

can see with their own eyes what's going on but then there is hope that we could once again live in a world free of crime syndicates. back in austria. five days after the bomb explosions the police raid the homes of two leading members of the spot a clan in. the district that's been a mafia stronghold for decades. the mafia wives are livid. and you know the whole thing is made up those idiot witnesses that behind it. even don't lose maybe they laid the bombs themselves. and nothing.

we deserve respect. to the criminal clans frederica's reporting is to blame for the raid. like dogs let off the leash wounded animals no longer capable of rational thought join us they're reacting like a wild animal that knows it's trapped that it's got nothing to lose. it is said it's come a kasi that it could make any gods at the most of us the film is this came from an informer you can do on the phone so. you need to be careful there really mad at you just your articles have made them very angry. and you have to be much more careful than usual. their total scumbags. they wouldn't hesitate to detonate a bomb under your window or use

a member of your family to seek revenge. chocolate a bit them being i'm having a rough time i'm afraid for my children. i have nightmares the air feels thick you know that they've completely lost their minds so i need to be extra careful and i need to find out what they would do if they decide to strike. it out that i'm just one private citizen against the whole mafia. despite the numerous attempts on his life paolo still visit sicily regularly. this time he's on his way to. seventy kilometers from palermo.

the entire town council had to step down when its ties to the mafia came to light. and out of date you can see here. they are travelling to sicily is always a major security undertaken. i recently received another death threat. that they referred to a car bomb and even mentioned the place where it's supposed to happen. but i know that i have to keep doing my job. and that's what i'm doing. but it's an extreme fear. because it sends shivers down my spine but it means i'm always looking over my shoulder to check my voice my guardian angels are there. but i'll carry on regardless that's about all the stuff that will.

paolo's appearance here as a guest of honor is supposed to mark the return of a legitimate administration. but who's on which side. how low can never be sure. how low thanks palermo province's head of the carbon yeti the carbon yeti our italy's national police force. everything it thinks it is the security detail is

great the men are excellent to you please pass that on. that's good to hear and i will pass that on. i know your value. we can make it together. the police campaign against the mafia and austria has been dubbed operation up a jail. a week after the explosions in a nighttime sweep police seized property gas stations gambling bars and gyms belonging to the spot a clan and their accomplices assets worth some nineteen million euros. but that doesn't mean federica can relax. the death of

a key figure in the fight against rome's mafia families has shaken her deeply. charge similar to a dollar sandra was found dead in her apartment reportedly of a stroke. she and frederica were close friends. here she is my lovely friend. when it listen simonetti was the first judge to comprehend the reach of the roman mafia she completely supported my work on a legal level and only then will do anything or will i feel completely empty center but i miss her so much and i mean i've gone over all the messages we've sent each other the moments when i wept and said to her they'll win and they'll win i think

and she said to me no they aren't going to win they want. the well being. me that i thought she gave me so much encouragement and strength who knows what this means this sudden death because i want them police are. also. it wasn't what will i do without her. that's what it takes so much staying power there's no end in sight i don't know if i should give up or carry on.

that you found. him boss what brings a mayor together with a mafia boss. i'm talking about corporate i don't want fun to a mayor of one of the most beautiful places in the world not the cradle of sicilian baroque. and a criminal who's been sentenced for mafia crimes and more probably that any more today mafia boss val can i bear a girl who owns a number of businesses in the town was released by the police. paolo posts daily updates on the website last speech exposing the business people and politicians who are in cahoots with a sicilian mafia equally a mafia in this part of sicily politicians and mafiosi were used to being criticized and they were able to do their deals in plain sight because they knew

that no one would write about it they're. talking to one another isn't a crime obviously and there's nothing illegal about the mayor simply talking to a mafia boss yourselves i made it all but you are responsible for who you talk to the same but it might then i've always said that in a problematic region such as sicily. feels he shouldn't be trusted and you can't go doing business with them if the public sees their own mayor talking to a mafia boss had said all it has to esther is message. it will take. or you don't have many fears i fear they could kill me. good balsa synesthetic there were two mafia bosses sentenced in two separate trials. one

said perfectly calmly that they were on me apart. now in another referred to a slow death. around. not a fuck about so i'm scared of not having done enough. voting feel of not having had enough time to tell the public what's happening. ultimately i fear that my fellow italians don't understand that their silence and indifference are the weapons the mafia uses to defeat us. a fresh threat was issued yesterday on frederica's birthday this time the target was a restaurant owner who's already been in the mafia's crosshairs once before because of his friendship with her. just mario what happened was a man with a screwdriver came in. mario tells frederica

a man wearing his hood up and brandishing a screwdriver stood outside his restaurant yesterday and yelled i'll kill you all. then he ran away. mario only realized later that his tires and the tires of his guests had been slit open. and the car with federica because the police are calling my bike too much for. undefeatable it was a special occasions like frederick his birthday and the children's birthdays are mine we always go to his restaurant. and so it's pretty clear he was threatened. for. going to the u.k. to get into this. part of town. it's an exciting life isn't it i don't.

get it wrong i decided to fight the mafia for my children sake. i'll give you a bit i've been criticised as a mother but to me it's the only way of protecting them it is the only way i know using legal means to put a stop to illegal activities. as. a kid there might be things that they're afraid of later exams unemployment's failed love affairs but i don't want them to be afraid of the mafia yeah i want him to learn from all of this study.
