Mafiaren izengoitirik onenak

Pasaden astean jakin genuen, eta ondo jakin ere, Italiako mafiaren aurkako operazio ikusgarria egin zuela FBI-k. Besteak beste, Bonnano, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese eta Luches familiako kideak izan dira atxilotuak New York, New Jersey eta Rhode Islanden egindako operazioan. 

Medioek toki dezentekoa egin zioten albisteari Ameriketako Estatu Batuetan. Baina honen haritik, Iker Armentia kazetari,  bidaiari eta blogariari irakurri diodan zerbait nabarmendu nahiko nuke hemen: Village Voice astekariak kaleratu du New Yorken atxilotutako mafia-kideen izengoiti bitxiekin ateratako zerrenda. Eta Iker berak ondo dioen moduan, “izengoiti askok mafia-kideen triparen bolumenarekin dute zerikusia”.  Ez daukat zalantzarik, pisu handikoak direnik New Yorkeko mafia-kideak. Hona hemen zerrenda:
