Threats against Vibo Valentia official

Overview

Antonio Iannello, the President of the City Council in Vibo Valentia, has been targeted by two anonymous telephone death threats. These incidents follow a previous attack during which shots were fired at his residence and vehicle.

Mayor Enzo Romeo condemned the acts as “vile and cowardly criminal acts,” while the Cgil trade union characterized the intimidations as an “attack on democracy” intended to influence institutional functions through fear. Law enforcement agencies are investigating the origin of the calls to determine if there is a connection to the earlier assassination attempt.
