Naples. He told police he was responding to a robbery and was therefore shot. But his criminal history and his last name immediately pointed to a Camorra ambush, or rather, a cross-party vendetta. The man injured last night in Miano is Luigi Torino, 41, son of former boss Salvatore, known as "o' gassusaro," a collaborator with justice for over a decade and previously a Camorra boss in the Sanità neighborhood and a key figure in a bloody feud with the Misso family. He was wounded in the calf and abdomen while, according to what he told law enforcement, on Corso Secondigliano, he was approached by two people on a scooter who attempted to rob him. He was taken to Cardarelli Hospital, and his version of events did not convince investigators who began their investigation. Police had previously received reports of gunfire on Via Marsala, in the area between Scampia and Miano, and then a 9mm Beretta pistol, four spent shells, and an abandoned, stolen motorcycle were found inside a manhole in the San Gaetano district. Shortly after 9 p.m. the other evening, some residents of Via Marsala, a small side street off Via Janfolla, reported gunshots to the operations center. A patrol car from the Scampia police station arrived on the scene, but found no traces of the shooting. It was thought to be a false alarm, but about an hour later, another call explained that someone had hidden a weapon inside a manhole on Via Janfolla. This time, the search was successful. Officers recovered a 9x21mm semi-automatic pistol and also found four spent shells and some ammunition.
traces of blood while, a few meters away, the police find a scooter that subsequent checks show as stolen. Not even a quarter of an hour later, Torino shows up at the 'Cardarelli' emergency room. The 41-year-old criminal has been free for just over a year, and is said to have tried to carve out an autonomous space for himself in Miano with the criminal power vacuum created after the beheading of the Lo Russos and clashing with the Cifrone-Perfettos. And for this he is said to have been punished. Whoever opened fire did not intend to kill him since the shots hit his private parts. Now the investigators are trying to identify Luigi Torino's relationships by reading chats, phone calls and messages. Understanding who he was in 'business' with and above all deciphering whose toes he stepped on so much as to trigger the decision to punish him with lead shots.
