(Bloomberg) -- Giorgio Scimeca, owner of a pub and
sandwich shop outside Palermo, Sicily, says he's proud of having
stood up to the Mafia, even though he's paying a high price.
Three years ago, Scimeca brought charges against an
extortionist who threatened to blow up his bar if he didn't hand
over 500 euros ($672). The man was convicted and spent 1 1/2
years in jail. When he got out, he opened his own pub nearby, and
Scimeca was forced to move to another neighborhood.
