A  reputed  mob boss  who  headed a hit squad  responsible  for  rubbing out 46 people, declared Wednesday he   will no longer be a State’s witness and that what he told prosecutors were lies, reports  Ansa news

“I don’t want to be examined, all I want to say is that I told a pack of lies to get out of jail sooner”  said   Giuseppe Setola,  during a trial-hearing for the murder of enterpreneur  Domenico Noviello.

Setola  who was arrested in 2009 is  considered a  big boss in the Casalesi clan of the Camorra  and is  serving several  life sentences in a double  tough prison reserved for mafia members

His about-face comes after two Casalesi bosses were acquitted Monday of threatening the lives of crusading anti-mafia investigative journalists Roberto Saviano and Rosaria Capacchione
