A wave of minor intimidatory
attacks by organised crime on mayors in Puglia has become
"almost daily", Bari Mayor Antonio Decaro said Thursday.
"Three days ago it was the mayor of Ruvo, then that of
Terlizzi, and yesterday the mayor of Peschici," said Decaro, who
is also head of the Italian association of towns and cities,
ANCI.
Decaro said he had telephoned Interior Minister Marco Minniti
about the problem.
Puglia's mafia, the Sacra Corona Unita (SCU, United Holy
Crown) is the fourth and smallest of Italy's mafias after
Calabria's 'Ndrangheta, Sicily's Cosa Nostra and Campania's
Camorra.
