Un gruppo di "Controcamorra" in azione
01.08.2007 Il 31 luglio un incendio ha colpito un magazzino di vernici di Palermo appartenente alla ditta "Guajana Ferramenta"- Il proprietario aderisce al Comitato civico "Addiopizzo" e gli inquirenti temono la mano della mafia. In un comunicato Addiopizzo sottolinea che "l'episodio non scalfisce la voglia e la volontà del comitato che continuerà a lavorare come ha sempre fatto". La campagna pizzo-free per incentivare i commercianti a rifiutare di pagare al racket delle estorsioni, con lo slogan "Un intero popolo che paga il pizzo è un popolo senza dignità", continua ad aumentare il suo consenso e gli aderenti e quindi sempre più aumenta anche il fastidio arrecato ai clan mafiosi. L'importante iniziativa di Palermo non è però l'unica. A Napoli è in corso da alcuni anni un'iniziativa simile dal nome "Contracamorra". E la sensibilità contro l'estorsione sembra essere in aumento in molti luoghi della Penisola.
