The break-through

...
there she sat, all dressed up as usual. She was the first one ever who wanted to testify against Mauricio Benavole, the big mafia boss, in court. Everyone who said or did something that didn’t correspond to his opinion was killed in cold blood. When it comes to murdering people he has some very original methods. Letting the victims beg for their life while they are tortured is one of his personal favourites. He didn’t end in prison very often because he bribed the police chiefs and politicians and when he accidentally was caught he was soon released on bail.

I still didn’t mention the name of the witness. Her name is Maria Bocacelli. She is, as you probably suspected, the wife of mister Benavole. The reason she wants her husband behind bars is because she is constantly abused by him and she is sick of it.
As his wife she has a lot of knowledge of his activities and can accuse him of several crimes.

It’s a waterproof testimony and I have a good feeling about it…
