Roberto Cottone, right, a restaurant owner, and Dario Riccobono, who runs a travel agency, both members of the association "Farewell Pizzo", talk during an interview with the Associated Press in Palermo, Italy, Tuesday Jan. 17, 2023. Cottone and Riccobono decided to rebel against their elder's longtime surrender to the practice to pay crime clans monthly "protection" money, known as the "pizzo," that has long been a mainstay of Cosa Nostra's illicit revenues. An organization called "Farewell Pizzo" encouraged many businesses to report their extortionists to authorities instead of paying. (AP Photo/Valeria Ferraro)
