Horse's head left at Sicilian home in echo of scene from Godfather

The Guardian

November 22, 2024

A severed horse's head has been discovered at the property of a Sicilian businessman in what local authorities believe may be a mafia intimidation tactic reminiscent of a scene from The Godfather.

The animal's head was left on the seat of a digger owned by the man, a construction contractor in Altofonte, near the Sicilian capital of Palermo. The remains of a pregnant cow and its calf were also found at the site.
