Italy captures mafia initiation rites on film, 40 arrests



Italy – Secret mafia initiation rites have been caught on camera for the first time by Italian police, who on Tuesday arrested 40 suspected gangsters in raids across the north of the country.

The arrests, on charges of criminal association, illegal arms sales and extortion, followed a two-year investigation using wire-taps and hidden cameras in locations known to be frequented by mobsters, police said.

“For the first time the swearing-in ceremonies have been recorded live,” Milan prosecutor Ilda Boccassini told journalists at a press conference following raids which saw 37 people landed behind bars and another three placed under house arrest.

“For the first time we heard it from the voice of the mafia,” instead of relying on details from police informants, she said. More Watch video at Nutty News Videos
