BRINDISI – The 61-year-old wounded on Saturday morning, between 8.30 and 9 am, by gunfire on the coastal road north of Brindisi, had been an employee of Lido Risorgimento for 12 years. This was declared by the manager of the bathing establishment, Franco Iaia, on the Rai Due broadcast «Ore 2pm».
«He had been working for me for twelve years, he was employed regularly, he cleaned, nothing ever happened. He was a person – the employer assures – who seemed to have changed. Something happened, although I don’t know what yet. However, it is his problem, not related to the beach.” And when asked what he thought of the fact that the man, known to the police and involved at the beginning of the new millennium in an important blitz against cigarette smuggling, had gone to his workplace with a gun, Iaia he spreads his arms and replies: «What should I tell you? It’s not like I can ask him in the morning how his mind is and what he has in his pockets.”
According to what we learn, there was crossfire between the employee and at least one other man. Two or three gun shots fired. The investigation is complicated by the fact that the video surveillance cameras had not been working for a few days. It will also be necessary to shed light on this aspect. The 61-year-old is still hospitalized at the Perrino hospital, where he underwent a delicate operation. The other injured person, a 43-year-old, was immediately discharged with a 30-day prognosis. Both were kicked.
