“Whenever you want…wherever you want…and with your rules!”
It was an obvious signal of challenge launched to the enemies from a family Facebook profile. The enemies probably accepted the challenge and last night they massacred him with ten gunshots under his home in via Ghilseri in Scampia.
At just 21 years old he was killed like a boss. Nicola Notturno was the scion of one of the leading families of the Camorra of Scampia: son of Raffaele, arrested five years ago, nephew of Vittorio, also in prison and Gennaro, known as 'O sarracino' who recently began to collaborate with justice.
And speaking of the repentant uncle, on the same family Facebook profile a few days ago the phrase appeared: "Better to lose the wings of freedom than honor and dignity" accompanying a photo. The investigations into the murder - which took place during the night in via Ghisleri - range from the resumption of the bloody feud of Scampia, which in the past has already left dozens and dozens of victims on the field, to that of transversal revenge. Nicola Notturno, if the first hypothesis prevails, would have been hit because he belongs to the cartel that with the Abete-Abbinante is part of the coalition of the so-called 'Scissionisti' at war with the Vanella Grassi and Di Lauro clans.
A no-holds-barred battle for the control of international drug trafficking and in particular for the business related to the river of cocaine that from Scampia invades other areas of the city. In the latest six-monthly report of the DIA to Parliament it is highlighted that among the "clans that manage some of the most profitable drug dealing areas in the city - Case dei Puffi, Sette Palazzi, Chalet Baku' - there are the Abete, Abbinante and Notturno".
The other lead points to the hypothesis of a transversal revenge that could have matured after the decision of uncle Gennaro to reveal to the investigators the secrets of the first Scampia feud, the one that between 2004 and 2005 caused a hundred deaths. Among the victims of that period was also the innocent Antonio Landieri whose only fault was to be in the wrong place - a place considered an enclave of one of the warring clans in the Scampia neighborhood - at the wrong time, and ended up by mistake in the killers' sights.
He desperately tried to save himself but his disability made any attempt to escape impossible. The ambush took place around 3 am in a completely dark Via Ghisleri.
Nicola Notturno, already known to the police, was at the door of his house when he was approached by the hitmen who fired about ten gunshots at him from a moving car, before driving away. The rescue efforts were useless.
He died while the 118 emergency service was transporting him to the San Giovanni Bosco hospital. His father, Raffaele, was arrested on 17 December 2012 by the Carabinieri of the provincial command of Napoli when he was at the top of the homonymous clan federated in the criminal cartel fighting for control of the drug dealing areas.
He was wanted on a prison warrant that had been issued for criminal association for drug trafficking. He was identified and stopped while he was in an apartment in the TB lot of Scampia, protected by cameras and a reinforced gate.
