Since 2006, following the publication of the book, Saviano has been threatened by several Neapolitan “godfathers”. The Italian Minister of the Interior has granted him a permanent police escort, but he's often attacked by politicians of Berlusconi's government and also his escort has been questioned

I second this one.
Here's a link to the Italian edition: http://www.ibs.it/ebook/saviano-robe...852016110.html
