“We reported this installation to the Prefect and it was removed. We will continue to give our contribution to this cause, which must be pursued to the end, we must erase the culture of crime from our territory to make room for values ​​and images of legality and justice. Criminals must know that they will no longer be idolized and publicly honored. Their memory created through installations or abusive paintings on public streets will be erased forever. We want to remind everyone that since these “homages” are totally abusive, abusive and illicit activities have been created that are in fact paid by criminals and bosses. We need zero tolerance across all sectors. They must understand this once and for all.” - Borrelli said.
