The "Mafia Expert" (sic) is an investigative journalist and writer, fairly famous in Italy, which for his work has received enough death threats that he will probably have to live under police protection the rest of his life...

- mk89 10y agoI would like to shed some light on this "mafia expert". Saviano is officially known in Italy to be a writer, way more than a journalist - actually he was completely unknown before his first book "Gomorra", which made him famous, and he admitted not to be "a journalist, (nor a reporter), ... but a writer" (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/09/24/mafia-author-roberto-saviano-s-plagiarism-problem.html http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/09/24/mafia-autho...). I would add that in Italy he is pretty known to be a good show-man, even more than a writer.
- intAligned 10y agoNot that i have any aversion to Roberto Saviano, but i would strongly prefer to see Giovanni Falcone being mentioned, above and before any other real (or so-called) anti-mafia warrior (anti-mafia means a lot of professional layers of "antiness").
