Gela, ambushed to the owner of a pizzeria: saved by the screams of his daughter. "It's serious"

Three hooded men in action. The man was attacked on his way home. The assassins wanted to kill him: the victim is in serious condition at the Villa Sofia hospital in Palermo

He was saved by the screams of his daughter who was looking out from the balcony and witnessed the beating of her father. Screaming, the girl put the three hooded men on the run who savagely beat Daniele Borchio, the 55-year-old owner of a pizzeria in the historic center of Gela who was returning to his home in via San Salvo, in the popular district of Macchitella. An attack organized in detail with the aim of killing the victim, now hospitalized in very serious conditions at the Villa Sofia hospital in Palermo with a head injury. Prognosis is reserved.

The merchant, originally from Caltagirone had been living in Gela for some years. He had recently been investigated for illegal fuel trafficking and in three months he should have appeared before the judge for the preliminary hearing. The commando was waiting for him in front of the house: the man was first taken to the front door of his home , then, while trying to escape, he was chased, reached and beaten again. The daughter who saw the beating from the balcony, screaming, called her mother, who was in her house, and her neighbors. The three attackers got scared and ran away.
