He had committed a theft without asking the Cosa Nostra for "permission" and so he was forced to kneel down and apologize and beg for mercy, for himself, his wife and children.

The man, as reported by Gerlando Cardinale in an article in the Giornale di Sicilia on newsstands, had stolen from a bar in Canicattì, in which the boss Calogero Di Caro probably had an occult role. The story dates back to last summer and the scene is immortalized by cameras and hidden bugs. "I have a wife and two children to raise since I didn't even ... I didn't even know that was your bar ...". So the offender, in the presence of the boss who pursues him wearing the mask, forces him to kneel.
