"We have always sought justice and not revenge: this has always been our goal. With the laws that exist in Italy we can say that we are satisfied even if for us, what they did to us, not even a hundred years of prison would have been enough for the pain they caused us".
Thus, Fabio Staiano, father of little Noemi, commented on the sentence with which the Court of Naples sentenced to 18 and 14 years of imprisonment the brothers Armando and Antonio Del Re, who on May 3, 2019 in Piazza Nazionale, in Naples, took part in the ambush in which Noemi, a girl who was 4 years old at the time of the events, and her grandmother were also seriously injured. "It is an important signal that has been given to us as a family but also to the entire city and the country", Fabio Staiano said again.

“The judiciary has done an exemplary job,” Staiano said, commenting on the presence of prosecutor Melillo at the reading of the sentence. “The mayor,” Noemi’s father added, “also stayed with us for about an hour. He showed us his personal closeness and solidarity, that of the administration and also of the entire city. We often hear from each other,” Fabio Staiano said, “and we also saw each other last week: he was very close to us in this sad story.”
“Now let’s go to Noemi,” Fabio concluded, “to make her feel at peace.” Noemi’s maternal grandfather, Alessandro Esposito, also expressed satisfaction with the sentence given to the Del Re brothers: “We believe that an exemplary sentence was given,” Noemi’s grandfather said, “we are happy with the judge’s decision. My daughter burst into tears, she hugged me. She was satisfied too.”
