Photographer kidnapped

Hi All

Today an Italian photographer that was shooting for a local paper “Il QUOTIDIANO DELLA CALABRIA” has been kidnapped for few hours by some members of the Calabrese mafia called ‘Ndrangheta.
He was taking pictures of some written appeared on the walls of a Village near the Crotone province. Written were to favor of the local mafia boss that was killed few weeks ago.

Criminals have forced the photographer to go on a car that has lead them to a photographic studio where criminals have deleted photos taken by the photographer and threatened him of death. Then they released the photographer.
It is the second case of violence against a photographer in the Crotone province, both during a chronicle coverage after a mafia killing.
