Eight years to Antonino Graviano, son of a cousin of the brutal bosses of Brancaccio, of attempted extortion and possession of an illegal weapon. Graviano had been arrested in the last few days of May, after showing up at a construction site to ask for lace, making use of his surname.
After the arrest, a search was carried out and a Smith & Wesson 357 Magnum pistol with an abraded serial number was found and seized at the house of the mafia cousin.
Graviano has a history of receiving stolen goods, robbery and theft: his father Francesco is the son of a brother of Michele Graviano, killed in 1982, father of Giuseppe and Filippo, sentenced to life imprisonment for the massacres of '92 -'93 and for the murder of Don Pino Puglisi, as well as Benedetto and Nunzia Graviano, both convicted of mafia. The extortor would immediately claim his "belonging" to the territory, saying to the targeted businessman: "I am from Brancaccio and those inside are also to eat."
