A Mafia boss was gunned down in
the streets of Palermo Monday morning.
Giuseppe Dainotti, 67, was shot in the head by two killers
while riding his bike, police said.
Dainotti was released from jail in 2014, they said.
Dainotti was one of Palermo's top bosses, police said.
A boss of the Porta Nuova family, he served time for murder
and for a billion-lire robbery at Palermo's Monte dei Pegni
institutional pawnbrokers in 1991.
"I heard two shots, it was 07:50. My children had just left
for school. It sounded like fireworks, they let them off at all
hours around here," said a Tunisian woman living nearby.
"I looked out and I saw a man on the ground losing blood from
his head.
"There was no one else around".
