He was provincial secretary of the League until 2004, but for more than twenty years he had a restaurant that he ran with his two children: Franco Colleoni has been murdered right under his house.

The carabinieri of the Treviglio company investigate the murder. The corpse of the man, general secretary of the League of Bergamo between 1999 and 2004, it was discovered around 11.30 am on January 2nd in the courtyard of his house in Dalmine.

A shot in the head. This is how Franco Colleoni, owner of the restaurant, died The Carroccio. The intervention of the 118 staff was useless, the ex-wife, who lives in the same building, according to initial information would have reported that she had entered the house first, finding it upset, and then would have headed to the courtyard, where the man he was lying on the ground in a driveway. After the first investigations and the findings of the case, among the hypotheses under consideration also that of the robbery or a theft, on the spot investigators found traces of multiple people.

“This is absurd. Humanly I am saddened. I had known him for years, ever since he had been councilor when my father was mayor in Dalmine. He hadn't been in politics for some time, but he always gave interesting ideas,”he says Francesco Bramani, mayor of Dalmine and member of the League. “I spoke to the carabinieri, who did not go out of balance. But they told me about a chilling scene, with Colleoni who had many head injuries”. For Bramani a robbery is “strange. Saturday mornings, with restaurants closed during this period. But it is useless to overreact”.
