When everyone was getting ready for the New Year's Eve dinner, Giuseppe De Masi, 39 years old was shot dead in a barbershop in Sorianello, in the late afternoon of Friday.

Those who knew Giuseppe De Masi, in fact, describe him as a man, for at least ten years now, dedicated to work - he owned a small earthmoving company and a car wash - even if in the past he had been involved in two operations (Luce in the woods and Ghost, both coordinated by the Dda of Catanzaro) for crimes relating to drug trafficking, but the two trials ended for Giuseppe De Masi with a full acquittal.
