An Italian mob boss was allegedly fed to starving pigs by a rival crime family. Francisco Raccosta was captured and beaten by members of the ’Ndrangheta crime family, then was thrown in a pig stye to be eaten alive. Sounds like a clip out of a Hannibal Lector movie, right? The murder emerges after police reviewed audio tapes planted to bust 20 gang members. 24 year old Simone Pepe, leader of the ’Ndrangheta crime family, ordered the hit on Raccosta (who has been missing since March 2012). He was heard boasting about their sinister act on the tapes, saying “In the end, there was nothing left. Those pigs could certainly eat.” The feud between the families go back until the the 1950’s.
