Puglia gangmaster probed in woman death

(ANSA) - Trani, August 19 - 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.
