A leader of the Italian mafia, Giuseppe Dainotti, 67, was shot in the head exactly during a stroll in Palermo.

The Italian police believes Dainotti’s assassination is, in fact, a warning sent by the the Costa Nostra Sicilian clan, who wants to demonstrate they didn’t lost their position of power in the Italian society.

In the last decade these mafia-style assassinations have plummeted in Italy, mostly because their leaders ended up behind the bars, informs The Guardian.

The aspect that transforms Dainotti’s assassination into a vendetta is the day in which it was committed:  22th May, the same day that marks 25 years since Giovanni Falcone’s death, murdered after a bomb exploded on a highway in 1992.

The horrible images with Falcone’s head covered in foil, brought back to light those years of violence caused by mafia clans in the heart of Sicily.

“When some say that the mafia is no longer present or has been destroyed, it is always up to us to confirm that the mafia is still there.

When they consider it necessary they kill again in a very clear and symbolic manner”, revealed Italian prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi.

Witnesses who called the police after they heard the gunshots claim that Dainotti who was released from jail in 2014, was executed by two killers on a scooter.

Giuseppe Dainotti would have been a close friend to Salvatore Cancemi, a high-ranking mafia chief who was involved in the training and assassination of Giovanni Falcone and another magistrate killed in 1992, Paolo Borsellino.
