Italian mobsters are allegedly sending messages to their bosses in prison via the ticker of text messages streaming during a popular soccer TV talk show. From ANSA.it:
"The messages often seem ordinary but in reality they hide important service notes to the bosses" (said prosecutor Enzo Macri reporting to the parliament's anti-Mafia commission.)
Indeed, one of the coded messages used read simply: "Everything's OK, Paolo". Macri' said the show's producers were unaware that their programme was being exploited in this way.
"Mafia messages sent via top soccer show"
