It's a story so gruesome it belongs in a horror film.
A mafioiso was fed to pigs in Italy... alive, police say.
An anti-mafia operation involving the arrest of 20 revealed that the mobster was fed to pigs alive some time last year.
Authorities apparently intercepted a phone call from one of the killers, who boasted about enjoying the sound of the victim screaming.
The police in southern Italy's Reggio Calabria province say they have determined that Francesco Raccosta, a member of a local crime syndicate, was sacrificed to the pigs.
He is believed to have been killed in connection to a decades long -- and lethal -- rivalry between two clans.
