A 32-year-old Pakistani man was found dead in the boot of his own car a few kilometres from the informal settlement at Borgo Mezzanone, about ten kilometres from Foggia in Puglia, on the afternoon of Saturday 22 August 2026. He had last been seen on the evening of 4 August after finishing work and was reported missing on 7 August. The victim was an agricultural day labourer who had been granted special-protection residency status and lived in the settlement on the grounds of a former military airfield. The body was in an advanced state of decomposition, which reporting treated as consistent with death at or near the time of his disappearance. The prosecutor's office in Foggia opened a file for murder against persons unknown and ordered a post-mortem examination to establish the cause and date of death. No suspect had been identified at the time of the cited reports. The mayor of the commune, speaking about the victim's circumstances, said he had accepted everything in order to pay off the debt he had incurred to migrate, including living in the shanty town that became first his prison and then his grave.
