The Carabinieri have served a precautionary detention order on 60-year-old Mario Esposito, detained in Milan, believed to be the leader of the eponymous Camorra clan active in the Caserta area, particularly in the municipality of Sessa Aurunca, on the Domitian coast, and in southern Lazio. Esposito is accused of participating in the February 1993 murder of Ferdinando Brodella, a member of the La Torre clan of Mondragone, who was the victim of a lupara bianca (white shotgun). Investigations conducted by the Carabinieri of the Sessa Aurunca Company and coordinated by the Naples District Anti-Mafia Directorate have confirmed that Brodella was killed because, despite knowing he had AIDS, he allegedly had sex with women in the clan, thus transmitting or risking transmission of the disease to them, and through them to the boss Augusto La Torre. Brodella's murder, it emerged, was ordered by La Torre; the victim was a close associate of the Mondragone boss. Esposito, accused by numerous collaborators of justice, faces charges of premeditated murder, illegal possession of weapons, and destruction of a corpse, aggravated by the crime having been committed in order to benefit a Camorra clan. The precautionary measure was served following the completion of the European Arrest Warrant procedure in Spain, the country where Mario Esposito was arrested and subsequently extradited to Italy. Spain granted an extension to his previous extradition to allow Esposito to be tried in Italy for this murder as well.
