Rome | Mafia godfathers in Sicily have been caught on wiretaps lamenting the “miserable” calibre of new recruits after nearly 150 alleged criminals were arrested this week in dawn raids involving 1200 police officers.
Crime bosses from Cosa Nostra, the Italian island’s notorious mafia, unfavourably compared the new generation of mafiosi to those of the past, invoking the example of The Godfather, the classic 1972 film starring Marlon Brando as the Sicilian-American patriarch Don Corleone.
