"During the program "Non è l'Arena" on Sunday evening I had the opportunity to watch two reports that highlighted once again that Camorra methods and poorly concealed sympathies for criminal environments characterize some neomelodic singers. From the studio we had the opportunity to witness the shame of Tony Colombo and his staff who, pressed by questions from a journalist about their relationship with the Marino clan, thought it a good idea to steal her smartphone, deleting a video, before taking possession of her Go-Pro, going so far as to chew up the SD card in order to delete the evidence. A violent and unjustifiable attitude, adopted with Camorra methods". This was stated by the regional councilor of the Greens Francesco Emilio Borrelli, a guest on the program. "A second report showed an interview with the singer Anthony Ilardo who, some time ago, was the protagonist of a small concert in Monteruscello, organized for the release of a prisoner, during which he dedicated a round of applause to another prisoner. When asked about the Camorra, he classified it as a “lifestyle choice”, adding that “he doesn’t feel like judging”. A shameful attitude from someone who doesn’t regret receiving dirty money from criminal proceeds for their performances. Unfortunately, the intersection between neomelodic singers and the Camorra is taking on increasingly disturbing contours. Anyone who behaves like Tony Colombo or shows condescension towards the underworld like Anthony Ilardo has nothing to do with the world of music”.
