1st MAN: [subtitles] I thought, ``My God, if I report them, I'd be scared all the time. What would happen to me?'' There are so many of them. They always used to say ``We are many.''


VINCENZO CONTICELLO, Restaurant Owner: [subtitles] A man I didn't know came to see me. He said he wanted to talk about work. He said, ``We know you're not in compliance. I'm your tax collector. Pay me $800 a month and you'll have no more problems.''

VINCENZO CONTICELLO: [subtitles] I looked at him. I felt an intense fear. Still to this day, when I think about it, my heart drops. I lost my breath. The Mafia was right there in front of me.


VINCENZO CONTICELLO: [subtitles] Broken windows, broken headlights, interiors trashed. There was damage worth thousands of dollars, when the dinner itself hadn't cost more than $50 or $60.


Capt. JACOPO MANNUCCI: [subtitles] Even market stands pay protection money. They pay $80 to $130 per month. For larger companies, payments can be thousands of dollars, up to $15,000 per month.


LIRIO ABBATE: [subtitles] Shop owners and businessmen are scared, so they pay and don't report it. Some are so terrified that they'll deny it in court, even if they are caught on film.


Capt. JACOPO MANNUCCI: [subtitles] In the case of the Focacceria San Francesco, we realized that some suspect people were gravitating around the restaurant. This is why the Carabinieri began to focus on the focacceria, suspecting that something was wrong.






VINCENZO CONTICELLO: [subtitles] An acquaintance asked me what was wrong. He said I looked worried. So I told him they had put my dead cat on my doorstep. I had received an anonymous letter threatening to kill me and my family if I didn't pay $80,000.


VINCENZO CONTICELLO: [subtitles] I followed that advice. Ten to fifteen days later, my ``mediator'' came to see me. He said he'd successfully negotiated with the extortionists. Now I owed $20,000 instead of $80,000. If I didn't have the money, his boss would give me a loan. The mediator told me I could repay the loan with interest every month.


PINA GRASSI, Wife: [subtitles] The letter shocked everyone because it was written by a local businessman. For the first time in our city's history, he had dared to talk publicly about the Mafia and the pizzo.


PINA GRASSI: [subtitles] It was August 29, a Thursday. The following Monday, the factory would have reopened after the summer break. Libero left at 7:30 AM. I walked him to the elevator. And a few minutes later, I heard gunshots. Immediately after, someone rang the intercom and said, ``Madam, is your husband home?'' And I thought, ``Oh, God!'' That's when I knew. I went downstairs. I sat on the stairs and really started to wonder, ``What do I do now?''


LIRIO ABBATE, Journalist: [subtitles] It was an extraordinary murder that allowed the Mafia to send a signal to everyone else. But that didn't cause business owners to band together. They remained silent for the next 15 years.


PINA GRASSI: [subtitles] In July 2004, these leaflets appeared all over the city. ``An entire people who pays the pizzo is a people without dignity!'' Reporters immediately called me. ``Who are they?'' they asked me. And I said, ``Who knows? I haven't got a clue. But if they were young people,'' I said, ``they could be my nephews because they see things the way I do.'' Three days later, the door opened and three kids showed up saying, ``We're your nephews.''


RAFFAELE GENOVA, Pub Owner: [subtitles] It was a call to arms, a way to get attention. Initially, we didn't think we'd succeed so well. We simply wanted to open the debate.


LIRIO ABBATE: [subtitles] It's something concrete. They brought together businesses and published a list of their names, urging people only to shop in places that don't pay the pizzo, that say ``no'' to pizzo, ``no'' to racketeering.


LAURA NOCILLA: [subtitles] Why did focus on the pizzo, rather than drugs, weapons or shady deals? Because we immediately realized that the pizzo was a tool the Mafia used to create a culture that accepts their control of territory. If you take that away, everything else the Mafia does will collapse.


VINCENZO CONTICELLO: [subtitles] The night before, I was walking as I always do among tables. A man at one of the tables told me to come closer. He said, ``I bring you greetings from many friends.'' I was perplexed and asked him, ``Who are these friends?'' He said, ``You know who wishes you well. And we know you know how to behave.'' That night, I didn't sleep well at all.


[subtitles] When I arrived at the court, I saw a huge crowd, many young people with the ``Goodbye Pizzo'' T-shirts. The presence of all these people really gave me strength. I realized that it wasn't just my personal battle, it was the battle of an entire city.


[subtitles] Silence fell in that room. No one even breathed. The prosecutors, the lawyers, the public, the defendants were motionless. I, on the other hand, breathed. I took a deep breath.


SALVATORE PIPARO: [subtitles] This had never happened in a Palermo courtroom. I still remember that day's newspaper. Conticello's picture was on the front page with his finger pointed at his extortionist.


ADDIOPIZZO SPEAKER: [subtitles] There's never been a better time to say no. You will not be left alone. These are no longer the 1990s, when Libero Grassi was murdered because he was abandoned.


VINCENZO CONTICELLO: [subtitles] What I have made is a small opening, a small hole. We must hammer at it every day so that it becomes bigger and we can then advance in this ongoing war. Mine is just a battle.


LIU JIANCHAO, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman: [subtitles] The five people accepted by Albania are not refugees but terrorist suspects We think they should be sent back to China as soon as possible.


IMAM: [subtitles] In the beginning, we were very skeptical of them. But once we got acquainted, we realized they were not here to cause trouble and now we are very comfortable with them. We've tried to help them and stay close to them, to try to be like a family for them and to give advice on religion and community issues.


CLAUDIO HENRIQUE: [subtitles] I'd like to thank all of you for believing in our dream of making our city a different place. We know that our greatest legacy is right here, the people of Belford Roxo. Thank you all.


MAN: Barack Obama. [subtitles] Barack Obama of the lowlands! [singing, with children] I'm voting for Claudio Henrique for mayor. Vote number 14! The people want change! Claudio Henrique is work, youth and hope.


JOAO LUIZ DE SOUZA: [subtitles] I'm not sure Americans understand what Obama means to the world. I think that just as Brazil has many Obamas, there should be Obamas scattered all over the world. Everyone now wants to be a bit like Obama. Everyone wants to be a proponent of dialogue and unity.


CLAUDIO HENRIQUE: [subtitles] The fact that I am black brings with it the responsibility to the children and black people of Belford Roxo so they can dream of achieving that goal. I would be a role model.


[subtitles] I'm getting an overwhelming response from people of different groups, young and old, and I think it stems from the fact that I have responded to their anxieties. To have my picture taken, to give people my autograph, it's very gratifying, especially at the beginning of my career.


CLAUDIO'S BROTHER: [subtitles] It's dangerous for a rising politician in this city. I accompany my brother wherever he goes. Together with some friends, we make up his security team.


CLAUDIO HENRIQUE: [subtitles] To be honest, I've already lost some of my fears some time ago. Running for mayor of Belford Roxo would always be risky. Several politicians have already been assassinated in the city. But even if I didn't have the courage to do this, some underprivileged kid might do me harm anyway. So the risks exist everywhere.


PRESS AIDE: [subtitles] If all the people in the streets who embrace Claudio and show support, if they really vote for him, he'll make it to the second round for sure. And I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up winning outright in the first round. It's going to come down to the voters, if what they say in the streets is true.


CLAUDIO HENRIQUE: [subtitles] He influenced, contributed, helped, or perhaps just loaned his name to the people. But if they used his name to promote change or to create a more just society, then we welcome 8, 80, 800 or even 8 million Obamas.
