A 51-year-old Calabrian, brother of a mafia repentant, was executed in the middle of the street on Christmas Day in the historic center of the quiet Italian port city of Pesaro (center-east).

Riddled with bullets
Tuesday at 18:30 local, Marcello Bruzzese was riddled with 9 mm bullets by two men with hidden faces.
The killers, who fled on foot, waited for him to park his car under the house where he had lived for three years with his wife and two children. They immediately killed him in the cockpit of his vehicle.
