“The Association and the political group of “Strada Fare” express solidarity and closeness to the lawyer. Vincenzo Di Staso and his family for the vile acts of intimidation and explicit death threats of which they have been victims in recent hours. The episode, promptly reported to the competent authorities, is a disturbing sign of a dangerous, poisoned climate in Manfredonia which, unfortunately, increasingly sees respectable people in its sights.
We are certain that the investigations will lead to the identification of those responsible for what happenedalso to restore legality, freedom and serenity to the city, finally putting an end to this ignoble and exasperating escalation of tension and fear.
Come on Vincenzo, you are not alone!”.

I went to their house and sealed the objects in a bag and filed a report with the police.”
