Nick Squires at the British
newspaper the Telegraph offers a piece on Cosa Nostra members who were arrested
after holding meetings in a large fridge.
It was intended as a cunning
ruse to evade surveillance by anti-mafia police.
When a bunch of alleged
mobsters held their meetings inside a giant fridge in a town in Sicily, they
were convinced that the thick insulating walls would protect them being
eavesdropped on by police.
But detectives had got wind
of the secret summits that were regularly held in the fruit and veg lock-up and
had planted recording devices inside, in an operation they code-named
“Freezer”.
