In the morning, he would have seen his daughter in the car of two young people. He made her get out and slapped the two, also taking their car. In the evening, he met them to return the car and at that moment he was shot twice in the legs. According to the carabinieri, this is the reconstruction of the ambush against a 40-year-old criminal with a record who, in Grammichele, in the province of Catania, around 10 pm on September 24, 2023, in the central Piazza Carlo Maria Carafa, was shot in the legs. By pure chance, the shooting did not involve some citizens unrelated to the incident, there was also a young child in the square.
As part of the investigations into the injury, the military police have arrested two young people from Caltagirone, aged 26 and 23, and have imposed a house arrest on a third young man, aged 24. The youngest of the three was tracked down and arrested in Weinheim, Germany, and is now under house arrest. The twenty-six-year-old – accused of being the material author of the injury – was arrested at the port of Palermo, after disembarking from a ferry from Genoa, and was imprisoned.
