A new generation of Sicilian mafia like power and boast on Facebook about what they do

Italian prosecutors rummaging social networks in search of details that could help them in the arrest of a new generation of mobs who reject traditional values​​. Discretion and respect the code of silence not bring society.

After years of Cosa Nostra members communicated only through tickets encoded, their younger followers began to brag on Facebook with their wealth and power they have contempt for the prosecutors who tried to arrest them, according to The Telegraph.

Such a mafia in Palermo, Domenico Palazzotto, aged 28 years, has created a Facebook page under an assumed name, where he posted pictures of boats driving a limo, drinking champagne and expensive.

Young, who is known to participate in raising money for "protection" in Arenella, one of the suburbs of Palermo using your Facebook account and uttered insults at police and to exchange messages with another young man who wanted become mafia.

"We need to send a resume?" Ask the aspirant. "Yeah, man. Want to see your record. Not take people with clean records," replied jokingly Palazzotto.

In one of the videos he posted one of his group members Palazzotto shouting "I am Godfather" and Palazzotto intervenes: "Well, I'm the original".

A police source in Palermo suggested that investigators use Facebook to search the mobsters who have accounts under false names. Salvatore D'Alessandro, a group member's Palazzotto, he posted it on Facebook and magnification thoughts, speaking of ambition to climb the hierarchy.

"Now, just one small shark hunting in the depths. But the time comes when I rise to the surface and I will not have mercy on anyone," wrote D'Alessandro.

"Activate online was unthinkable for the old guard. Former bosses lived on farms and ate bread, cheese and vegetables without using phone and relying only on written notes which he transmitted orders," said a policeman who did not he gave the name.

"The new generation uses Facebook, get on Twitter and send WhatsApp messages to look like going to the best clubs, beaches and restaurants, because they think it's the best way to get respect. Problem is that leave marks and they were arrested, "the police said.

Palazzotto is one of the 95 mobsters arrested in June in Palermo in "Operation Apocalypse," which aimed to decapitate the leadership of the Sicilian Mafia.

Investigators have shown that a key figure in the revival of the local mafia was Palazzotto's cousin, Gregorio Palazzotto, aged 37, who runs the business from prison.

Facebook User's constant, Gregorio was using his account to insult traitors offering evidence the prosecution. "I'm not afraid of handcuffs, but I'm afraid of those who play to get rid of them," Gregorio wrote on Facebook in prison.

Social media - how it developed and what are some good salaries in the industry

For the sixth consecutive year, the online community in Romania was held on September 27 at the Webstock 2013 conference the largest local social media. The event took place at the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel and was a 12-hour marathon which attracted a total of over 600 participants.

In the event study results were presented State of Social Media Employment, Evensys conducted in collaboration with HR Portal. The study is conducted for the third consecutive year and presents an analysis of wage specialists in Social Media.

The initiative started from the desire to rely on more than just disparate views and to gather as much information from experts in this new field, so that we can begin to identify current market trends. In the first two years we have collected such data from employees who have responsibilities in Social Media, this year we completed the picture with responses received from 10 companies that have a social media department or staff dedicated to this specialization.

Most of Social Media roles are new, the number of specialists is still small, but witnessing a field that is just in training, which continues to grow from year to year. I wanted to identify some margin salary specializations that lead to this type of role and see what are the correlations between the level of seniority and the salary package offered.

The analysis was performed only at the quantitative and survey findings to an overall positive:

- The level of wages in 2013 compared to 2012 remained constant, which is positive in a context where there are further specializations in the labor market where wage levels fell further.

- Experience makes a difference, specialists with over 2 years experience in the area of ​​Social Media have significant differences from the fresh entrants in the industry.

- There is much more interest in Social Media figures increased volume of reports required by other departments, which confirms the possible future development.

We hope that from year to year based on market specialistidin SICAR participate in this study to be increasing, so the relevance of this approach to gain a salary survey in the true sense of cuvantuluisi we can identify as many trends that help us in understanding a training markets, such as the social media experts.
