This is the second incident targeting the convicted man’s family in three months. Last August, criminals ambushed his brother, just a few meters from his home; as he was returning from work, they opened fire on his vehicle.
According to the police, they are investigating the possibility that the perpetrators attempted to send another message to the 48-year-old. The investigation to locate the perpetrators and, ultimately, the mastermind will be expanded to include the Central Prison, while footage from closed-circuit surveillance cameras in the area is being analyzed.
