«The 'Ndrangheta organized a fake road accident to kill my son» . Thus Nicola Gratteri , guest of Peter Gomez's La Confessione which, starting this evening, arrives on Raitre at 11pm. Various attempted attacks, not only against him as a magistrate, but also aimed at the people closest to him: his wife, before she became one, someone shot at the door of the house with a message: "you are marrying a dead man" ; to both of his sons.

In 2016, when the eldest was studying in Messina, two fake policemen entered the building where he lived . He saw the balaclavas and managed to lock himself inside the house and raise the alarm. «Has anyone in the family ever told her: “Dad, is it worth it? ”», Gomez asked.

«I had these problems when I was growing up. – replied the chief prosecutor of Naples -. They had also organized a fake road accident for their other young son – he continued – They had decided from the Reggio Calabria prison to have him hit with an SUV while he was on his motorbike" . Luckily all attempts were unsuccessful: «On both occasions we found out beforehand so nothing happened, but both my children were put under guard and this creates tension in a family», concluded Gratteri.
