ROME (Reuters) - The plan was for a Wild West-style manhunt offering 25,000 euros ($32,600) for delivery of the killer of an Italian petrol station attendant "dead of alive."
Then, Italian Reforms Minister Roberto Calderoli found out that the idea was probably illegal.
"I would have preferred something like 'dead or alive', but they told me the law wouldn't allow for it," said Calderoli, a leader of the rightist Northern League party.
So instead, he and his Northern League colleagues have offered a simple reward for information leading to the arrest of the robbers who on Thursday shot dead a 61-year-old petrol station attendant in front of his wife.
