"Breaking Camorra's 'silence code' More and more Italians now seem to be willing to brave death threats and testify against the powerful Neapolitan-based mafia, the Camorra, the BBC's Pascale Harter says. Fifty-eight-year-old Silvana Fucito was terrified the first time a member of the Camorra came into her shop, put a gun on the counter and said "either you pay up or we'll kill you". Yet this tiny woman, with her manicured nails and diamante hair clips, told her husband to step aside. She would deal with the Camorra." - Richard Walker via Bookmarklet
