Bari, meeting with the boss’s daughter? Surreal PD on Emiliano: “Pittoresco” –

No coincidence, the Apulian governor Michele Emiliano, as we know, is a “hyperbolic” and “picturesque” character, what do you think is the visit with his councilor who later became mayor of Bari, Antonio Decaro, to the house of the sister of a boss of the old City. This was said by Walter Verini, senator of the Democratic Party, who spoke today in a program on Giornale Radio. “Emiliano has always been a character who uses hyperbole and catchphrases, there is no Decaro case. The fact itself has been denied, our interpretation is that Emiliano wanted to talk about an episode to highlight in a picturesque way how Decaro had continued its commitment against the mafia with great results”.

In short, for the Dems there is no case: “This was the meaning of Emiliano’s words, pronounced in front of thousands of people who reacted to a very clear political attack from the right – added Verini -. Bari has had a municipal administration that fights crime, everything else is political and electoral propaganda of this right.”

Meanwhile, the storm over the words of the governor of Puglia does not abate. According to Emiliano’s story, Decaro went with him to the house of the sister of the boss Antonio Capriati. The exponent of the Democratic Party and leader of the ANCI immediately tried to deny it, denying the former magistrate’s reconstruction of the meeting with Emanuella Capriati, sister of Tonino, believed to be the historic boss of old Bari. Now, however, Il Giornale has published a photo portraying Decaro with Elizabeth Capriati, Emanuella’s sisters. The image was published on social media on May 7, 2023, on the occasion of the feast of Saint Nicholas, patron saint of the city.
