Fr. Ciotti receives more death threats

(ANSA) - Rome, October 22 - New death threats have been issued against the founder of anti-mafia organization Libera, Father Luigi Ciotti, the priest said on Wednesday.
    Ciotti said the threats are coming not only through mass media but also other sources, calling this "a bit of a particular moment, not to be underestimated".
    "But they could even kill [me]; by now a network of wonderful people has been created that will fight back," Ciotti said. Ciotti said there are "those who don't want to see certain laws passed", referring to anti-corruption and anti-money laundering bills currently being revised in the Senate and House.
    "The mafia has come back stronger in this moment of great economic crisis, so we need to equip ourselves," Ciotti said.
