Philip Imundi The world of organized crime can be ruthless, even with those in power who believe they can live much more peacefully because they are the head of the organization and therefore have the final say on everything. However, power is not something eternal, and often when new recruits arrive, they aim to obtain it without any qualms and attack those in charge.
Mafia Boss Damiano Pepe's Wife Dies in Attack
The news only leaked out this morning, but the incident happened last night , around midnight. The scene of the ambush is located near Pepe's home, so whoever carried out the attack knew exactly where to strike.
The ambush took the boss and his wife by surprise, as they were most likely on their way to bed.
The gunshots left no chance for the 60-year-old woman , who died instantly.
A sign that for Pepe the days of command are over and a generational change is needed. The problem is that in these contexts, changes don't happen naturally.
Damiano Pepe was shot in the ambush, his health conditions are as follows:
In addition to his wife's death, Pepe himself was also hit by the attacker; the Calabrian mafia boss received direct blows to the body, knocking him to the ground.
Luckily, he managed to survive, although, as Ansa reports , his health conditions remain very serious . He was initially rushed to the hospital in Corigliano Rossano, but then, given his very serious condition, it was decided to transfer him to the hospital in Cosenza.
Pepe, 64 years old, is a leading member of Calabrian organised crime , in particular he manages drug dealing throughout the region where business is very profitable.
