They hang his dog because he didn’t pay the “dose”. Two pushers arrested in Caltanissetta

The victim was a 22-year-old who had been threatened and persecuted by two brothers for years. They will now have to answer for a series of crimes, including drug dealing, robbery and killing of animals

PALERMO – They took him by force and, without any mercy, hung him from the branch of a tree and left him to die hanging. After all, it was “just” the dog of one of their clients who hadn’t paid for a drug dose three years earlier. This gesture was the culmination of a long series of violence and persecution that a 22-year-old suffered for years.

It happened in Niscemi, in the province of Caltanissetta, where the Carabinieri arrested two convicted brothers aged 24 and 22. The two must answer for illicit possession of narcotic substances for the purpose of dealing, attempted extortion with threats and violence, killing of animals and robbery.
The victim was a 22-year-old local man, persecuted from the end of 2021 to today for an unpaid dose of drugs. The two threatened the young man with constant telephone messages and in one case, after beating him, they stole his phone. The peak was reached in March 2023, when the two suspects, with the intention of intimidating the boy even more, killed his dog, hanging him from the branch of a tree. Those arrested are under house arrest.
