The police of the provincial command of Vibo Valentia arrested a person in the context of the investigation into the murder of Carmelo Polito, shot to death in San Gregorio d'Ippona (Vv) in front of the 6-year-old son.
According to the indictment, it was Francesco Pannace, 32 years old from San Gregorio d'Ippona, who was already detained because he was involved in another heinous murder, that of Giuseppe Prostamo.

Polito was assassinated on March 1, 2011 in the town center with five 7.65 pistol shots before the eyes of his little son, who had miraculously escaped the ambush. The crime was immortalized by the video surveillance cameras installed in a nearby mechanical workshop.

Polito, according to investigators, was killed by the clan Fiare - to which the alleged killer would be tied as driver of the boss Rosario Fiare- an aggressive and violent person, already imprisoned in the psychiatric prison of Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto for various crimes. He would have been "executed", in particular, for a slap given two years before to the uncle of the alleged killer.
