“I felt like taking two 9×21s, going out to the financial, police and carabinieri barracks and knocking out about twenty guards”. It is Michele Imparato, known as Zi Peppe, brother of the boss Salvatore, who controls the drug dealing area of the Rione Savorito in Castellammare on behalf of the D'Alessandros. The Camorrista says he is annoyed by the repeated raids by the police in the neighborhood: a few hours earlier, the carabinieri themselves had managed to find a large quantity of drugs that had been hidden under the manholes. “It's a damage of 100 thousand euros”, Michele vents again to the entrepreneur accomplice Domenico Fortunato. The two Imparatos, the entrepreneur of the fire-prevention systems who became their accomplice, and another ten high-level affiliates were arrested two weeks ago in a blitz coordinated by the DDA of Naples. The shocking wiretaps are contained in the 268 pages of the precautionary order signed by the investigating judge Leda Rossetti. The drug dealing area of Savorito, a district of the northern outskirts of Castellammare that became famous for the famous bonfire against the informers "who must die burned", is one of the most economically flourishing in the entire province of Naples, and the blitz of the carabinieri had annoyed the gang quite a bit, so much so that "Zi Peppe"
organizes real raids to try to attract the attention of the lookouts placed in strategic points of the neighborhood to protect the pushers. On some occasions, as documented by the investigations, Michele Imparato swoops down on the lookouts and calls them to order: "I got here and he didn't see me. If they were the guards, what would you do?".
From the numerous conversations intercepted between Zi Peppe and Mimmo, the “complaints” of the boss’s brother emerge for the damage that the continuous checks carried out by the carabinieri of the Castellammare di Stabia company had caused to the business of the drug dealing square. Zi Peppe justified the presence of the square in question by the lack of work, explaining to Mimmo that the “IMPARATO” were respected by everyone because they had always served their sentences in full, without ever showing signs of giving in during the long periods of detention, just as they had never repented. “Of particular importance,” writes the investigating judge, “is the conversation in which the predominant role played within the association by Imparato Salvatore, known as Tatore, emerges, the only one able to establish the selling price of the drug. And in fact, when Imaprato Michele meets a guy nicknamed "Perzichiello" in the drug dealing square who asked him to intercede on his behalf with the pusher on duty, Onotato Silvio, so that he would give him 3 doses of smoking cocaine (crack) for a value of 50 euros compared to the 60 requested, Zi Peppe, after calling "SILVIO" (that is, Onorato Silvio, the pusher on duty, also recognized by the agents who were listening to the conversations by his voice as a subject monitored and arrested several times), asked him if he had seen his brother Salvatore and, having learned that he was nearby, reported that he would ask him about the possibility of applying the requested discount, thus making it clear that he could not decide without his brother's consent."
Here is the part of the interception in which Imparato, speaking with Fortunato, says he wants to kill "about twenty guards"
Domenico: The guards, the Guards. You called them, Zi Pèeee ..
Uncle Peppe: I told you… they are home and shop… Mimmo. They have been here for 10 days, since my brother had a fight with these bastards. They have been here since then… do you understand? They are doing home and shop. “That was the Captain who sent them down here. He told them: you mustn't let them sell anything!! … what do you think?
Domenico: Did he only argue with the Captain?
Uncle Peppe: With the Captain and with everyone that evening. Then, now we are having a party
Domenico: They even keep their jackets on. You see!
Uncle Peppe: I told him yesterday: but what do you have to do with the bulletproof vest on… '! What do you have to… ISIS has to arrive'! … Actually I would take a couple of idiots… and I would go to all the barracks and make a single bang to all three, Finance, Carabinieri and police… Boom, Boomm Boomm! l Do you understand? Just one bang to all three! Do you understand… I would go in there…bOOOOO do you understand?
Domenico: One of these things, you know what would happen next…
Uncle Peppe: You don't know what I thought last night! I swear on the thing that's dearest to me. Take a couple of 9×21s, with two magazines... enter the police station, boom, boom, boom catch, catch... boom, boom, boom... kill about twenty of them!
Domenic: To kill them actually?
Uncle Peppe: Oh, who gives a shit... they'll kill me afterwards!! Because... who's going to do it after the life sentence safe and sound? Because there you never get out again. That's why you don't get any benefits, you don't get anything. You just have to kill yourself afterwards. Go fuck yourself! But I have to kill about twenty of these cuckolds. You get the idea!
Domenico: Uhm!
Uncle Peppe: Go and make a mouth, I have to kill twenty of these cuckolds!
Domenico: but is it worth it?
Uncle Peppe: No, it's not worth it... but you know what it is... inc. There are many who steal millions of Euros, billions of Euros from behind their desks. This one, that one, the politicians... I mean, cuckolds and for a little something you make us get twenty years in prison. And then, you all want it from down here, but do you understand that it's okay?... Unemployment doesn't make it, you see, but how is one supposed to eat? How is one supposed to live? How is one supposed to eat? Anyway, but you want to sell drugs? No! But how is one supposed to eat? If we don't sell them, don't they go and buy them somewhere else?
Domenico: Before it was something else, huh? Before they ate
Uncle Peppe: How ... now they get scared, now there are a lot of repentants. The repentant to please you I have to lose his job, this and that and then in the end I also have to go to prison ... so every time the problem arises ... do you understand?
Domenico: inc…
Uncle Peppe: There's always the corrupt Guard
Domenico: Before Zi Pè they were men, now they are all men
Uncle Peppe: Now what do you do as soon as you arrest them? They're already pissed off. They don't even get in and start talking in the cars all the way to the police station... things
Domenico: Yes, huh?
Uncle Peppe: Nobody wants to go to jail, we Mimmo! !. Those who do themselves some jail time are few, the assholes are few, we are… Those who have done many years in prison are us, the lads of… D'Alessandro. These are the ones who do themselves some jail time, Mimmo. Then all the rest around… who wants to beat up, who beats himself up and who repents, do you understand? They all want to act like slobs… they act like they're in the middle of the street. You should have seen back there… who can do ten years or twenty years and who can't even do a day
Domenico: Have you seen all sorts of things, uncle Peppe? People who are right in the middle of the street and want to be bad guys in there
Uncle Peppe: Inside I don't know how many people we had to take in the bunks with my brothers! I don't know how many went to cry!! ... To cry ... but not to cry like this ... to cry!! With the saints in hand, to cry ... the prayers!!
