Worker who died two years ago, by proxy Bari was the victim of gangmastering

Giuseppe Petrarola, a 35-year-old worker who died on 16 October 2024 in Putignano under mysterious circumstances, would have been the victim of gangmastering.

Since this morning, a Carabinieri operation coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Bari has been underway with the arrest of a person held responsible for murder and labor exploitation.

The man died from the consequences of numerous injuries that were found in various parts of his body. Initially we thought it was a fall from a tree during the olive harvest, but the type of injuries led us to think more of a beating. Further details will be made known at a press conference called for this morning at the prosecutor's office in Bari.
