The horsemeat scandal? I have a link if you're interested to The Chicago Tribune . It's pay-per-view. They list a short narrative to tweak your interest. I didn't bother to pay because it seemed to just evaporate. I believe you just explained why.

I never heard anything about a hit, but there was a story, in the Tribune, about Accardo being in fear for his life and that Ricca had removed him as boss over the horsemeat scandal. But again, it just seemed to "go away."

Correction on the link to TheTribune. I can give you the date when the article was published, but the Tribune has "fixed" their site where the links can't be copied. I'll keep playing with it and see what I can do.

Thanks
