Sicily, suspicious package found under Governor Schifani’s house

A suspicious package was found under the home of the President of the Sicilian Region, Renato Schifani. The alarm was raised by the men of the Governor’s escort, returning from the funeral of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi last week.

But the news only came out today. The agents of the Scientific Police and the bomb squad went to the scene and blasted the package, completely sealed with packing tape. Expertly done manual work. Inside were dozens of plastic bottles crushed and then packed with scotch tape, “as if someone wanted to make it look like a parcel bomb,” say those who saw it. The investigators are working to ascertain whether it is a warning to the President of the Schifani Region. The Governor is not commenting on the incident for the moment.
