NYC-SDQ BABY!
I haven't seen anything about this here in the Capitol yet. Usually when something happens to a foreigner it's the first thing they broadcast. Interesting

maybe fake news. lots of stuff goes unreported here but a murder of a foreigner usually makes it front page of the local media. italian articles all seem to repeat the same few paragraphs citing victim's niece FB as a source...

I would doubt his niece would be posting fake news about her uncle ? Sure seem to be a lot of Italians being killed of late in the DR. One in Boca Chica and another in Montechristi.

One question is he was living in Santo Domingo but he was here to grown mangos and coffee - Did he have a farm near SD ?

Many foreigners call the Dominican Republic Santo Domingo...:alien:
In fact, Vittorio Giuzzi lived near the Haitian border east of Hondo Valle in the Elías Piña province.

I'm so confused was he murdered in Santo Domingo or near the Haitian border? Maybe that explains why it wasn't mentioned in the news

Not sure if it's fake, but the police vehicles in the video are not from here.

in what video?

The video in the article in the first post of the thread.

In one of the other articles, it said he had grown tired of dealing with life in Santo Domingo and had moved into the country.

The Santo Domingo shot and the police car were just filler footage. They must have found them online but didn't bother to get actual Dominican police vehicles.

(ANSA) - Rome, February 5 - Police in the Dominican Republic have arrested a local man suspected of killing Italian Vittorio Giuzzi at his home in Santo Domingo on the night between January 31 and February 1, the foreign ministry in Rome has confirmed.
Giuzzi, a 76-year-old from Montichiari, near Brescia, had lived in Santo Domingo for 15 years. The arrested man has reportedly confessed to the murder, but had not explained the motive.
