The multiple offender Patrizio Giovanni Iacono was arrested yesterday in Olmedo by state police officers. His 31-year-old brother Dimitri also ended up in handcuffs with him, both discovered in a pizzeria.
"The 26-year-old", explained the head of the mobile team Dario Mongiovì this afternoon at a press conference alongside the commissioner Claudio Sanfilippo, "was affected by a provision by the prosecutor of the Florence court of appeal because he had to serve the sentence of nine years and 4 months ».
Iacono a he had spent only seven months in prison for an attempted murder in Pisa in 2018 and he was "almost" a fugitive because, as the questore adds, "the decree had not yet been notified". On the other hand, a tracing order for notifications was pending on the brother .
Around 11pm yesterday she was captured after a chase between the police and Patrizio Iacono who was found carrying a Beretta 7.65 pistol as well as 5,900 euros . Dimitri was instead in possession of a .45 caliber Sig Sauer while another 6.65 was found in the glove compartment of their car . In the hideout of the two, the Mobile agents discovered drugs and equipment for the conservation of marijuana.
"We think the money - continues Mongiovì - could be the gain for extortion, usury, receiving stolen goods". The same manager speaks of an investigation aimed at "ascertaining whether some episodes that recently occurred in Alghero, such as car fires, attempted extortion or whatever, are attributable to both brothers".
According to what transpires, Patrizio Iacono boasted about the figure of Matteo Messina Denaro and his 30 years on the run to the agents. A personality that he would have liked to imitate if the mobile squad of Sassari hadn't found his way.
