A farm gangmaster in Puglia has
been placed under investigation in the death of a woman labourer
in mid-July, judicial sources said Wednesday.
Paola Clemente, 49, died on July 13 and was buried but
prosecutors on Tuesday ordered her body to be exhumed and an
autopsy to take place on August 21.
The man, who drove the workers to the fields to pick
grapes, was named as Ciro Grassi, from Taranto.
He is suspected of culpable homicide and failure to
provide assistance.
The investigation was opened after prosecutors quizzed
Clemente's fellow labourers.
