The suspects were said to belong to the powerful Campanale clan based in the San Girolamo neighbourhood of Bari.
    They included Leonardo Campanale, 45, and his 28-year-old son Felice, respectively the son and grandson of the mobster Felice Campanale who was killed in a mafia ambush in summer 2013.
