NAPLES, Italy — A gunman firing a sawed-off shotgun killed the father-in-law of Naples’ imprisoned crime boss Raffaele Cutolo as he left a barbershop Tuesday, police reported.
Salvatore Jacone, 54, was shot twice at close range, police said. The killer, described as wearing a ski mask and sunglasses, escaped.
Cutolo, who is serving five life terms in prison, married Jacone’s daughter Immacolata, 27, in a jail house ceremony four years ago.
The killing took place in the Naples’ suburb of Ottaviano, the stronghold of Cutolo’s New Organized Camorra, a Mafia crime syndicate.
For years the gang has been engaged in a bloody battle for control of the Naples’ rackets with a rival Camorra group.
