POPSPalermo businesses defy the Mafia
The more money a business makes, the more money the Godfathers expect. Those who don't pay up are quickly paid a visit. It starts with a friendly chat to explain the rules, followed by a nudge such as a brick through the window. If that fails to make the point, a home, business or car might be firebombed. Small shops are expected to hand over around £100 a month: for supermarkets and jewellers, the going rate is nearer £1,000. But shoppers and businesses are rebelling, with those refusing to pay adding their names online at the Addiopizzo website. As of yesterday, 241 firms and individuals were listed. Now Mr Messina has decided to bring them together by stocking their items in Supermercato Punto Antipizzo. "I felt the time had come to give those businesses that had refused to pay the pizzo an extra economic opportunity.

POPSItalian soccer fan killed by police during brawl at highway rest stop 
Sunday's other games were to start 10 minutes late, with players and referees wearing black armbands. Sky TG24 TV quoted witnesses as saying the other group comprised fans of the Turin team Juventus who were traveling in two vans from Naples to Parma for the Parma-Juventus match. Clashes between rival fans at rest stops are common in Italy. The shooting near Arezzo prompted clashes between fans and police in Bergamo, where AC Milan was playing Atalanta. The match was stopped after seven minutes when Atalanta fans tried to break through a barrier and storm the field. Last season, a policeman was killed in riots following a game between Palermo and Catania in Sicily. Under new anti-violence measures this season, some fans have been barred from traveling to games. In 2004, a game between two teams – Roma and Lazio – was suspended three minutes into the second half when a false rumor that police had killed a boy outside sparking riots.
