Report by Angelo Ruoppolo (  / 40129859538  ) Teleacras Agrigento, July 24, 2018. The Agrigento Prosecutor's Office has issued an arrest warrant against a 26-year-old man from Empedocle for the attempted murder of Angelo Marino. Details. Here is the text: In Porto Empedocle, a citizen called the police last Saturday, July 21, shortly after 7:00 PM: "Run to the port, they've shot." The police immediately responded to the scene. Angelo Marino, a 30-year-old fisherman from Porto Empedocle, was wounded in the leg by a bullet fired from a 7.65 caliber pistol as soon as he returned to the port. The shell casing was collected on the ground. There is no trace of the attacker, who likely premeditated his attack while waiting for his target. Marino was treated at the hospital. At the "San Giovanni di Dio" hospital, doctors removed the bullet from his leg during surgery. Police have now executed an arrest warrant, signed by Public Prosecutor Eliana Manno and Prosecutor Luigi Patronaggio, against James Burgio, 26, of Porto Empedocle. A few hours before the attack, aboard the fishing vessel "Riccardo Volpe," there was a verbal argument over trivial matters between Angelo Marino and James Burgio, and Burgio himself allegedly threatened Angelo Marino: "Who are you? You mustn't make any mistakes with me. I'm leaving now, but I'll see you on land." James Burgio, as soon as he reached Marino's dock, still appearing angry, allegedly fired a gunshot at him, wounding him in the right leg. He then pointed the gun at Riccardo Volpe, 28, of Realmonte, Angelo Marino's cousin, attempting to shoot him, but the gun jammed twice. He then allegedly fled on a Yamaha Tmax motorcycle. Angelo Marino, in hospital, was interviewed by police on the evening of Saturday, July 21, and stated: "I didn't see who shot me, but I'm sure it was James Burgio, whom I saw running away immediately after the explosion." Angelo Marino then added: "During the town festival, Burgio boarded the fishing boat 'Riccardo Volpe,' where I was also. He harassed the people present. I reprimanded him to calm him down. And he threatened me: 'Who are you? You mustn't make any mistakes with me. I'm leaving now, but I'll see you on land.'" Angelo Marino's statements were later confirmed by Riccardo Volpe, captain and owner of the fishing boat 'Riccardo Volpe.' Riccardo Volpe specified that he saw James Burgio shoot his cousin Angelo Marino, and then pointed the gun at him, Volpe, pulling the trigger twice. This was also confirmed by other witnesses, such as Angelo Marino's partner and Riccardo Volpe's father, who physically transported Angelo Marino to the hospital. James Burgio, accompanied by his defense attorneys Salvatore Pennica, Alfonso Neri, and Rosario Fiore, appeared at the Agrigento Police Headquarters on the morning of Monday, July 23, before the head of the Flying Squad, Giovanni Minardi.
