Description taken from vid "Antonio Vizzi was hit with a mallet for having opened a shop in Palermo without paying the "pizzo", a tax imposed by the local Mafia on commercial activities amounting, in this case, to 3000 euro. Vizzi refused to pay, despite the threats, resulting in this brutal assault. The other mafia men can be seen preventing passersby from assisting the victim. Another man who's seen beaten was Vizzi's son in law who was left in a coma for two days after and now has a metal plate in his skull. Vizzi suffered a broken nose and several facial fractures. Eight people were arrested, including Giuseppe Castelluccio, the head of the local Mafia and the instigator of this vile assault." http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=418_1415719638

I seriously doubt anyone passing by was going to try and step in to help out. The mafia has strict rules about that. Even if it's a hit and they botch it up for some reason, if they find out you came to assist the victim, you're in trouble. Their rule is you cannot touch the body. It has to stay as is until carabinieri arrive or a mafioso would come back to finish what was left undone.
Well good for them for standing up for themselves, but unfortunately in Palermo you have no chance of opening shop without paying. They may lower your pizzo but you will pay. I was watching a documentary on Youtube called the mafia's secret bunkers, was about the N'drangheta but about 10 minutes of the doc is in Palermo. Not everyone pays, a lot of shopkeepers/businesses had anti-mafia stickers or something on the front window of they're shops. They said at one particular market that 2/3's of the stalls paid protection money, even that's crazy. I have seen a couple of those stickers ('No Pizzo' they say) on shops in Sicily, not only Palermo. They're very few and far between, I'm telling you. Nowhere near "a lot". They get away with that for awhile but eventually everyone pays. If not, your store "catches fire" or something similar.

Maybe the producer and the anti-mafia guy in the video were overselling how many don't pay protection money for the cameras.

They rock super skinny jeans when they go smell you for some pizzi. You no he split them when he was doing all that wheeling. You Ne er hear about shacking down bookies over there. Is betting on soccer legal at the corner store and shit. Do they have numbers. I mean there was a bookie around here paying 500 a month plus. Christmas bonus and it worked no one stiffed him and when another guy went to shack him down he got rebuffed Yeah, better they are like the Americans... 300lbs wearing their XXXL sweatpants breaking a sweat and coming within an inch of a heart attack just to get out of the car and swing a bat at someone. Your obviously referring to the Bonanno Crew that went down early this year....

As for bookmaking, it's legal right across Europe as far as I'm aware. I live in an area with a population of about 15,000 and there's at least 15 bookies (shops)

Why wouldn't he put up one of this stickers though? If he doesn't want to pay? To much heat?
