INFORM AND DIE OR DISPOSING OF WASTE

Michele Orsi, a 47 year old boss of a waste disposal firm, was the 4th victim in a month of shootings directed against witnesses who turn state's evidence.

Orsi , shot twice in the chest and once in the head, was in a bar in the town of Casal di Principe, which ironically is the home town of Roberto Saviano, who wrote the best selling book Gomorrah, an expose of the Camorra.

'Saviano, who lives under round-the-clock protection because of death threats, said yesterday Orsi was a "leading entrepreneur in the waste sector who did millions of euros' worth of business with the [mafia] clans". Orsi's lawyer, however, described him as a victim whose company had been paying at least €15,000 a month to the Camorra, the mafia of Naples and Campania.'
