Dopium murder in seven seconds. The requests for sentencing arrive for the former boss of Miano, now repentant, Antonio Lo Russo and his most loyal followers.
Yesterday morning the anti-mafia prosecutor's office called for 16 years in prison for the murderer of Salvatore Scognamiglio and Salvatore Paolillo, for Lo Russo and 14 years for Raffaele Liberti. No discount for the material perpetrators of the crime.
In fact, the prosecutor has requested life imprisonment for Luciano Pompeo and Vincenzo Bonavolta. Despite the choice of the abbreviated trial, the sentences are anything but "low".
The prosecution has requested life imprisonment for the perpetrators of the crime. Lo Russo and Liberti could get away with 16 and 14 years of imprisonment due to their status as collaborators of justice.
With the sentence, expected at the end of next September, the curtain will fall on one of the most sensational crimes that the “capitoni” clan has committed in the course of its long history. The murder of Scognamiglio and Paolillo has left its mark on the pages of the news for the surgical speed with which it was carried out.
In fact, the double ambush took place in the space of just seven seconds and 'fixed' in the images of the video surveillance system. According to the investigations coordinated by the DDA of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Napoli, the double homicide, on August 5, 2011, matured within the Lo Russo clan, of which the victims were part, due to internal disagreements linked to the choice of Salvatore Lo Russo, father of the boss Antonio, to collaborate with justice.
According to several collaborators of justice, it was Mario Lo Russo, Antonio's uncle, once he learned of his brother's choice to collaborate, who said that his nephew Antonio could not continue to have command of the clan and that in his place there should be Salvatore Scognamiglio, later killed. Having eliminated Scognamiglio and reaffirmed his own strength, Antonio Lo Russo, although a fugitive and the son of a repentant, continued to command the clan until his arrest in Nice in April 2014.
