The man had just left his house, in the area near the Vittoria cemetery, when a man approached his car and wounded him with two shots gunshot that hit him in the neck and face. Di Martino managed to reach his brother-in-law's house, not far away, and telephoned the police. Immediately rescued, he was transported to hospital. He is not in any danger to his life. The investigators have already collected the first statements from Di Martino, who then underwent surgery for his injuries. Di Martino's wounding is the second criminal incident in Vittoria this year. On 28 February, in the Colledoro area, near the hospital, Giovanni Russo was killed. Alex Ventura, also believed to be close to criminal circles, admitted to having carried out the murder. However, Ventura had declared that the murder was the result of "personal disagreements", because in the past he had been threatened by Russo.
