A Gargano mafia clan leader, Pasquale Ricucci, 45, was killed a while ago in an ambush carried out with rifle shots under his home in via San Pietro, in the 'Macchia' district of Monte Sant'Angelo. The man is considered by the investigators to be at the top of the Lombardi-Ricucci-La Torre clan, heir to the Romito, always fighting with the 'mountaineers' Li Bergolis-Miucci clan.
