'Ndrangheta mobsters threaten journalist before arrest (ANSA) - Bologna, January 23 - 'Ndrangheta mobsters in Bologna were threatening to kill a local journalist for writing about them before they were arrested, police said Wednesday. "Either he stops or we shoot him in the mouth," said suspected mob boss Nicola Femia in a tapped phone conversation with his alleged henchman Guido Torello. The journalist, Giovanni Tizian, writes for the Gazzetta di Modena. A number of suspected members of the Calabria-based 'Ndrangheta, which is believed to be the most powerful mafia group in Italy, were arrested across the country on Wednesday.
