Mafia, blitz in Agrigento where they shoot with Kalashnikovs: 29 arrests
PALERMO – There are new faces and old acquaintances in the anti-mafia blitz in Agrigento. A city where Kalashnikov shots are fired at shops.
And it is also to stem the escalation of violence that the Palermo District Anti-Mafia Directorate has ordered the arrest of twenty-nine people between the city of the temples and the province. The investigation is coordinated by the prosecutor Maurizio de Lucia, the deputy Sergio Demontis and the substitute Claudio Camilleri.
Among those arrested is also Fabrizio Messina, brother of the life-sentenced boss Gerlandino, who is said to lead the Porto Empedocle family. Strong disagreements have apparently arisen with the family of Villaseta, a hamlet of the city of temples, led by Pietro Capraro . Winds of war are blowing and so it was decided to intervene with an urgent arrest warrant.
The Carabinieri of the operational unit led by Colonel Vincenzo Bulla are carrying out arrests and searches also in Favara, Canicattì and Gela.
The charges contested are mafia association, drug trafficking and dealing, extortion, robbery and damage.
