Raffaelle 'Lello' Capriati, son of Sabino and nephew of Tonino Capriati, the latter historical boss of the Barivecchia mafia clan of the same name, was killed this evening in an ambush involving several gunshots in Bari. The crime was committed in the Torre a Mare district.
Capriati was taken to the Bari Polyclinic where he died. Men from the Bari Police Headquarters flying squad are at work on site, coordinated by the DDA.
Capriati was released from prison some time ago after having served 17 years for complicity in the killing of Michele Fazio, the 15-year-old killed by mistake in Bari Vecchia on 12 July 2001.
