15/07/15

ta the small fishing boat Angelo dell'abbondanza in the Ionian waters en route between Capo Melito and Crotone is subject to dangerous approach by three sailing boats without a flag that force him to throw himself at the coast.

The event then verified by the Port Authority of Taranto and related to a previous similar incident occurred in the upper Ionian, was attributable to pirate fishermen of the Ionian islands still not entirely controlled by the new Greek government.
