Napoli. For the Court of Appeal of Naples, Eduardo Casella, arrested last October 8th together with his brothers Giuseppe and Vincenzo and 416 other affiliates while three are still at large, is not a member of the Camorra. In fact, the aggravating circumstance of article 34 bis has fallen. For the 2009-year-old from via Franciosa in Ponticelli, indicated by about twenty informants as the head of the family organization that had inherited the Sarno clan of which his father Salvatore o' paglialone was a prominent exponent. Therefore, thanks to the request presented by his lawyer Leopoldo Perrone, the serious accusation of Camorra association has fallen. The Sarnos had begun to speak to the DDA of Naples about the Casella family, drug trafficking, extortion and other crimes as far back as 7. They managed the squares of via Proto Giurleo while his cousins Domenico and Emanuele those of the Luzzatti district. Eduardo among other things according to the accusations together with Giuseppe Righetto and Armando Casillo had been employed in the "anti-repentants" campaign with the task of threatening the families of collaborators of justice. Giuseppe Sarno in a report dated December 2009, XNUMX said:
“CASELLA Eduardo who managed the marijuana drug market located in Ponticelli, together with Tonino O' CUZZECARO and another affiliate of the SARNO clan, son-in-law of PAGLIALONE. CASELLA Eduardo is affiliated with the SARNO clan. In the sense that he is paid by the clan. In fact, when I speak of affiliated with the clan I mean that it is a person paid by the clan. In this case CASELLA Eduardo was paid by his father PAGLIALONE, a leading member of the SARNO clan. CASELLA Salvatore, known as PAGLIALONE, a leading member of the SARNO clan. As such, he not only controlled part of the clan's drug trafficking, but had the ability to make important decisions for the life of the clan (for example, commissioning murders) when all of us SARNO brothers were detained; this because my brother SARNO Ciro had indicated him as the person in charge of the clan in our absence…. RICCARDI Vincenzo brother-in-law of CASELLA Salvatore called Paglialone ran a cocaine market on via PROTO GIURLEO. This market did not pay for a week but paid Casella Salvatore a fee that he used to support the prisoners. Some of the other markets on via PROTA GIURLEO who were relatives of CASELLA Salvatore behaved in the same way, in particular CASELLA Eduardo and Giuseppe, sons of Salvatore who deals with grass with “TONINO o 'cuzzicaro” … PAGLIALONE, during the joint detention of us SARNO brothers, took over the regency of the association. He has been an affiliate of the SARNO Clan for many years. I am aware of the fault, that CASELLA Domenico came to the Rione de Gasperi to speak with my brother SARNO Vincenzo immediately after his release. I am aware that the CASELLA brothers extorted in the Luzzatti district and ran the weed dealing squares together with DI SIENA Massimo, known as MASSIMONE. DI SIENA and the CASELLAs are related because MASSIMONE's wife is a cousin of the CASELLA brothers from the Luzzalti district. In 2008, after his release from prison, Domenico CASELLA was the contact person for the criminal group operating in the Luzzatti district…. CASELLA Eduardo, son of PAGLIALONE. He is an affiliate of the SARNO Clan and ran a weed dealing square in via Ulisse Prota Giurleo together with ALZATI Antonio, of the o' CUZZECARO. I am aware of the fact that Eduardo frequented his cousins from the LUZZATTI district on a daily basis, with whom he formed a single group. I seem to remember that CASELLA Eduardo was also helped by MARINO Omar in managing the drug dealing square I mentioned. After his release from prison at the end of 2008, he was active together with his brothers in the management of drug dealing areas and extortion activities…”.
The Review Court, meanwhile, as Il Roma anticipated, has also annulled the precautionary measure for father and daughter, Antonio and Ida Austero, the first defended by Perone and the second by Domenico Ciruzzi. The 83-year-old, (who was under house arrest) grandfather of the partner of the boss Giuseppe Casella, who had been entrusted with the task of controlling the cameras. He and his daughter, mother of Annamaria Milzi, the cashier of the group, reported in real time any arrivals of carabinieri or policemen in the area of largo Molinari and in via Franciosa, where the Ponticelli clan has its stronghold and runs a thriving drug dealing ring.
