Connected to the elections how?

Hopefully he didn't go to vote and got caught at the polls. That would be worse than how Capone went down.

This really is BREAKING NEWS.
But if you look at the "Breaking News" sidebars, it's all old stuff, or stuff that is not really "Breaking News."

I thought young Vito Corleone killed this guy a long time ago (with a knife as I recall).

Absolutely incredible. Easily story of the day, italian elections themselves notwithstanding. Should be in breaking news.
