ILive on Radio CRC, Marika Matuozzo, cousin of NORINA Mattuozzo, the 33-year-old killed in Naples by her husband Salvatore Tamburrino, a former special surveillance affiliated with the Di Lauro Camorra clan who a few months ago became a collaborator of justice, spoke: “We ask for justice. It is not possible that her husband, after repenting, can get away with a few years in prison. NORINA was killed because she was a woman, the Camorra had nothing to do with it. Tomorrow, with the torchlight procession, we will try to show our faces and ask for help from everyone, precisely to help each other and asking for justice all together. Two hours after NORINA's murder, Marco di Lauro was captured and all the media attention was focused on him, without ever mentioning femicide as such. We ask for justice for all women who are victims of domestic violence. Until a few weeks ago, no one knew NORINA and her story, but thanks to an association we managed to bring the whole story to light. We hope that the institutions judge her ex-husband as a man who kills his own wife. Quantifying the life of a pardon in terms of money is impossible. My uncles want to refuse, obviously. It is not normal to compensate for the damage. He did everything because he knew he could get a life sentence, and not out of true repentance. We ask that NORINA be judged differently”. Also speaking on the same broadcast was the journalist and writer Giuliana Covella who explained: “NORINA’s story is yet another femicide, and not as it has been described, that is, included in a Camorra murder. This gives us an example of how the institutions are not present and how little attention there still is to the phenomenon. NORINA was killed by her husband in a criminal environment, but it is nothing more than yet another femicide”. And she adds: “There can be no justice in this case. Collaborating with the magistrates is just a pretext to get further reductions in sentence. What struck me about NORINA’s brothers is the fact that they remembered the recommendations they made to her. Unknowingly, she, a bit like all women, knew the risk she was running. NORINA had learned of her husband’s betrayal because her ex-lover had told her and, paradoxically, what did he do? He killed her. The oppression, the violence against women, typical of the Camorra, are not accepted by the woman who dies, killed. At the base there is mutual respect between people. There is no superiority between men and women, but this does not happen”.
