Was Gianni Versace murdered in Miami in 1997 because of links to the Calabrian Mafia? The Telegraph reports: "According to a new book by Giuseppe Di Bella, a former member of the Calabrian Mafia known as the N'drangheta, Versace was allegedly killed "over debts" he had with the Godfathers. In the book Metastasi, Di Bella alleges that Versace was being used by Godfather Paolo De Stefano to launder money. Di Bella told investigative journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi: "There were rivers of money from drugs, extortion, protection rackets, loan sharking, mountains of money and it had to be made clean. "Bars, restaurants, property and luxury goods were used but also clean businesses like that of Versace."' [Telegraph]
