(ANSA) - Bari, February 1 - A journalist from the main news
channel of State broadcaster RAI was attacked while she was
trying to interview a mafia boss's relatives in Bari Friday.
TG1 reporter Mariagrazia Mazzola was slapped in the face by a
woman who refused to be interviewed, sources said.
A wake was taking place in the house where the incident took
place, the sources said.
Mazzola was taken to the ER at Bari's Policlinico Hospital,
where prosecutor Giuseppe Volpe has arrived.
