Claudio Fava speaks during a news conference, in Rome, Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2014. An Italian lawmaker has decried a secret arrangement in which intelligence agents paid imprisoned top Mafiosi for information during several of the years when Silvio Berlusconi was premier. Claudio Fava, vice president of Parliament's anti-Mafia commission, told reporters Tuesday that magistrates investigating Italy's organized crime syndicates were kept in the dark about the practice, described in a written protocol between the now-defunct intelligence agency Sisde and the national prison administration agency. The practice came to light when Premier Matteo Renzi declassified the document in July. (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)
