Soccer player Vincenzo Iaquinta has been sentenced to two years in prison. The 40-fold international of Italy was convicted on Wednesday because of illegal possession of weapons. The former striker was also accused of ties with the 'ndrangheta, but this has not been proven. His father Giuseppe is convicted of his ties with the mafia and disappears behind bars for nineteen years. When the verdict was heard the family made a scene and people spoke shame of the punishments. "This is impossible, they ruin my life on the basis of nothing at all, it is purely because I come from Cutro in Calabria, I suffer as a dog for my family and children, but I did not do anything."
