The level of security against Catanzaro's attorney Nicola Gratteri has been raised from second to first degree. The provincial committees for order and public safety of Catanzaro and Reggio Calabria established it, which met on several occasions to establish the measures to be taken to safeguard the magistrate following warnings of a possible attack against him that emerged after the maxi-operation "Rinascita-Scott" of 18 December against the Vibonese gangs. "In addition to assigning me two armored off-road vehicles, resistant to explosives, a series of safeguards have been adopted to prevent attacks on the journey that I travel daily from home to the office and vice versa," writes the same prosecutor.
