Halte à la Mafia
In the Sicily of clans, the Octopus and the omertà, they are still a minority. The resistance to the "pizzo," protection money, remains a perilous exception. But since the early 90s, more and more people are rejecting the dictates of organized crime. Shopkeepers, industrialists, farmers and local town councillors have stood up against mafia oppression and supported the judges and forces of order. In the wake of the spectacular attacks on judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, in 1992, a section of Sicilian civil society has begun to mobilize and no longer look away at killings like that of Libero Grassi, a shopkeeper shot down in the street because he refused to pay protection money.
