A 75-year-old Italian man has been sentenced to two years in prison after he hired a hitman to attack his son and his son’s partner. The ongoing terror campaign started when the son appeared in a newspaper with another man.
The dad reportedly paid a man 2,500 euro (approximately $3,000) to attack his son, a surgeon, and break his fingers so that he couldn’t work. It wasn’t the first time the father had hired goons to ambush the gay couple.
The problems started in 2017 when the father saw pictures of his son with a male actor in a tabloid. The son had already told his father that he was gay the year before. At the time, the father just said, “Too bad. I wanted grandchildren.”
The father then lashed out against his son and the son’s male partner. The man’s partner was severely beaten earlier this year by thugs hired by the father. The man was hospitalized after the attack. The couple’s car has also been vandalized.
The father also harassed his wife of 42 years when she decided to leave him. And the father’s harassment of the don escalated when the son intervened to stop his father from beating his mother one day.

Also I see it's Torino. So much for regional stereotypes.
