Extortion against wine producers, Caleca: "Report it, we are with you"
“We are close to the wine producers and invite them to report”. These are the words of the regional councilor for Agriculture, Nino Caleca following the raid by the police in the Catania area which led to the arrest of 15 people involved in the so-called rural mafia. The group, belonging to the Brunetto clan, specialized in extortion against wine companies, with intimidation and damage to the detriment of those who refused to pay the protection money.
“The department – underlines Caleca – is close to the entrepreneurs of the wineries in the area and reiterates its full support. We are on the side of those who decide to carry forward a productive Sicily in the name of legality."
Even the commissioner of the Regional Institute of Wine and Oil, Antonino Di Giacomo, is keen to communicate all his support to the wine producers: "I believe it is right to make our presence and above all collaboration felt - specifies Di Giacomo - to the producers who every day they encounter a reality of illegality but decide not to give up. By carrying them forward we bring forward a new Sicily, a Sicily of quality and legality".
