Restaurant Worker Killed in Bisceglie as Two Masked Gunmen Open Fire

Anti-mafia prosecutors are testing whether the hit ties to recent clan violence.

Overview

  • Two masked men burst into a restaurant on via Gramsci in Bisceglie, shot employee Angelo Pizzi, 62, and fled.
  • Witnesses counted about fifteen shots, and diners, including some British visitors, were shaken but unhurt.
  • Prosecutors are examining a mistaken-target hit that may have been aimed at the owner, who has prior convictions.
  • The Bari anti-mafia directorate is leading the case, and carabinieri forensic officers are gathering evidence.
  • Investigators are also checking for links to the April 19 killing of Filippo Scavo at a Bisceglie nightclub.
