Balotelli wanted for questioning by Italian police for supposed ties to mobsters
Source: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/953949/man-city's-mario-balotelli-quizzed-over-links-to-the-mafia?cc=5901Mario Balotelli's turbulent Manchester City career has taken another unsteady turn with the striker ordered by Italian police to explain his links to the country's Mafia.
Balotelli, who has courted controversy since making a £24 million switch from Inter Milan last summer, has been called as a witness by prosecutors in Naples for an anti-Mafia investigation that is going to trial next week.
The forward was given a guided tour of a notorious crime-ridden district of Naples by Mario Iorio, a catering entrepreneur who has been charged with money laundering as part of an ongoing crime investigation. Balotelli will face stiff questioning on his links to Iorio and regarding his visit to the Scampia area when he appears before prosecutors on September 15.
"There is nothing to worry about. I am calm. I had no idea who the people were showing me around Scampia," Balotelli said when asked about the court visit.
"That day there were loads of people around me. I'm sad the effect this may have on my family. I just wanted to see what the area was like as I had seen it in the film Gomorrah."
Is this the face of an infamous mobster? It might explain the italian national team's visit to a prison a few days back... Discuss.

He never had connections to the Cammora in Napoli... He spoke to them accidentely. Anyways it is not possible for him to be in the mafia nonetheless. The Omerta rules state that only pure blooded Italians can be part of the mafia.

Well he was shown around by a shady character and that's as far as the link with the mafia goes. Obvious exaggeration by the tabloids with the whole "Balotelli in cahoots with Tony Mamaluke Jr/seen disposing of rolled up carpet down bottomless pit" headline

This is actually only a couple days old, the incident when Mario was in Scampia is old news but just recently the authorities questioned him about it and he will be at the trial. It has to do with a case against the Camorra in Naples. Lavezzi was questioned also I heard

Yes and like I said it is complete BS, famous or rich, the Mafia will never go in cohutes with Balotelli. It is against everything they stand for, it would be a complete disgrace for them.
