Great excitement in the southern Italian region of Calabria. Antonio Strangio, the 42-year-old son of well-known ‘Ndrangheta boss Giuseppe Strangio, has disappeared. The family was involved in the bloody feud that left six people dead in Duisburg in August 2007.
The investigation began after the charred car of Strangio, who worked as a farmer, was discovered in the municipality of San Luca, a stronghold of the ‘Ndrangheta. Charred bone fragments, some teeth and a chain were found in the car. Initially, researchers thought it was the remains of a sheep. Only later did it become clear that the remains could be human remains, Italian media report.
Researchers are now investigating whether the remains could be Strangios’. Only after the charred car was discovered did the family report it missing. Antonio Strangio, a father of four, has no criminal record, but his father was a well-known ‘Ndrangheta boss.
A victim of the family?
Giuseppe Strangio was sentenced to 14 years in prison for murder in 1974. He was also accused of the 1988 kidnapping of businessman son Cesare Casella, who remained in the hands of his captors for more than two years.
The hypothesis that organized crime could be behind the mysterious disappearance of Antonio Strangio is gaining ground. The Strangio family is one of the most influential clans in the ‘Ndrangheta.
In 2007, six Italians were shot dead in the street outside a restaurant in Duisburg. The reason is said to have been a feud between two ‘Ndrangheta clans. The main perpetrator, Giovanni Strangio, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2011. The murders are among the most sensational mafia crimes in Germany.
