A prosecutor in
Caltanissetta in Sicily got a bullet through the post on
Thursday.
The envelope containing the slug was sent to Caltanissetta
Chief Prosecutor Amedeo Bertone.
The magistrate is is working on various cases including the
so-called "Montante system" named after the former head of
Sicilian industrial federation Sicindustria, Antonello Montante,
who was placed under house arrest on May 14 on charges of
conspiracy to commit corruption.
He is also working on cover-ups and "deviations" in probes
into the 1992 Mafia bomb slaying of anti-Mafia magistrate Paolo
Borsellino, as well as continued investigations into the other
Mob bomb slaying that year, of Borsellino's friend and colleague
Giovanni Falcone.
It is the second such incident this week.
On Monday Claudio Fava, chair of Sicily's regional anti-mafia
commission, received an envelope containing a 7.65-calibre
bullet.
His commission is also probing the Montante system and the
Borsellino cover-ups.
