Giovanni Salomone, 50-year-old brother-in-law of the boss brothers D'Amico (Gennaro, Salvatore and Luigi) and also a leading exponent of the clan, survived a liquidation attempt in via Nuova Villa. The assassins of the Rinaldi-Reale clan would have shot to kill and only for the great readiness of the victim's reflexes they did not succeed. The man was centered in the arm by a bullet in and out. He got off well because 7 bullets were fired at him, but the killers fell off the motorbike and took refuge in a nearby building. Twenty minutes or so after the ambush there were shots in the Villa district. For the investigators there is no doubt that it was the "answers" of D'Amico, historically allies of the Mazzarella clan with a base in San Giovanni a Teduccio.
