In the Mignechi district of Gela, legal proceedings continue regarding a shooting incident involving Valerio Caiola. While Caiola was initially sentenced to two years and eight months for threats, the more serious charge of attempted murder was dropped. 

The prosecution has filed an appeal, arguing the shooting targeted three relatives in a vehicle. Defense attorneys have requested that this appeal be declared inadmissible, contending there is no concrete evidence the individuals were inside the car during the incident. A decision from the Caltanissetta Court of Appeal is expected by the end of October.
