Two in love teenagers from rival gangs in her Sicily Italywhich are called “The Romeo and Juliet of the Mafia” from media of the countrycaused her anger on the one hand Cosa Nostra and on the other they played a role in the police solving a murder case that had been open for nine years.
The love between Daniele Di Giacomo and Jusi Rizzuto, both aged 17, was not accepted by the young lady’s family, whose members wanted to separate them. In conversations heard by the police having “trapped” the phones of her relatives, they say: “They can’t be together.”
The Rizzutos were rivals of the Di Giacomo gang in the Porta Nuova area of ​​Palermo and the two families had open accounts with each other. Therefore, the young woman’s family was shocked to learn the name of her beloved. However, it was the… teenage romance that led to the big reveal that something worse was lurking behind the relatives’ objection.
Her uncle killed his father and he saw it with his own eyes
Suspicions were confirmed when a family member revealed that the 17-year-old’s uncle, Tony Lipari, killed DiGiacomo’s father in 2014, amid settling disputes and power plays in the area between the two gangs. “Don’t you see why they shouldn’t be together? Tony killed his father”the “bug” caught Salvatore Lipari, brother of the executioner, telling his wife.
Giuseppe Di Giacomo, Daniele’s father, was a powerful crime “boss” in Palermo and was killed in the street while his then 8-year-old son watched the execution. A motorbike drove past the car driven by Giuseppe Di Giacomo and the driver shot him. He missed the first attempt, but he “chased” him and as Daniele explained to the police, the executioner shot him twice: once in the shoulder and once in the neck.
Nine years later, Ritsuto’s family also “froze” when they learned that Daniele was dating Jusi. “I’m afraid that if we tell her anything about the case she won’t keep a secret from him,” said Vittorio Emanuele Lipari, the girl’s grandfather.
In fact, the family’s fear was that Daniele Di Giacomo already knew what had happened and was planning his revenge as a few months ago he had a relationship with another young woman, a member of the family.
For the carabinieri, the intercepted conversations were enough evidence to arrest Lipari on the charge of Di Giacomo’s murder.
