Accused of complicity in a murder, a councilor of Palagonia, in the Catanese area, was arrested by the carabinieri. The case concerns the death of Francesco Calcagno, killed in 2017, a crime committed - according to the DDA - "to facilitate a mafia group linked to the Stidda, and would have links with the killing, on August 5, 2016, of the municipal councilor Marco Leonardi".

The alleged material author of the Calcagno murder, which took place with gunshots, had already ended up in handcuffs. This is the 54 year old Luigi Cassaro. Also he, the year before, had killed Leonardi, a municipal councilor elected on a civic list, then had gone to the barracks to confess, declaring that he had acted in self-defense, since the victim was also armed.
