Assassination
On July 29, 1983 a car bomb explosion in Palermo killed Chinnici, two of his bodyguards, Mario Trapassi and Salvatore Bartolotta, and the concierge of his apartment block, Stefano Li Sacchi, as he left the house to go to work. The bomb was triggered by the notorious Mafia assassin Pino Greco, on the orders of his uncle Michele Greco. Michele Greco was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment for ordering Chinnici's assassination. He was succeeded as Chief Prosecutor by Antonino Caponnetto.
