Antimo Granieri, the 18-year-old boy killed last night at 22 pm in Casoria, may have entered a drug trafficking ring.
He was the target of the raid that ended in a shootout in via Castagna where a 16-year-old was also injured, luckily a graze in the side. According to investigative sources, the young man was in a drug market not authorized by the clan that controls the criminal business in Casoria, namely the 'new Moccias', who have no ties to the 'old' clan based in Afragola.
Granieri is also the brother of Vittorio, 27, arrested in June three years ago for being part of the new Casalesi clan, a criminal organization that investigators believed had taken the place of the group headed by the family of the boss Francesco Bidognetti.
“Fate has reserved this experience for you, it doesn’t matter but there will be better things in your life. Best wishes, my life.” There are several posts that Antimo Giarnieri – killed last night in the Naples area – published on Facebook for his brother Vittorio, 27, arrested in June 2017 by the Carabinieri of the Territorial Department of Aversa because the Naples DDA considered him, together with four other people, the founder of a criminal group called the “new hierarchy of the Casalesi clan.”

A criminal organization that according to investigators had taken the place of the clan headed by the family of the boss Francesco Bidognetti, head of one of the four factions of the Casalesi clan, in the territory that has always been under the jurisdiction of the gang, namely the vast area that from the municipality of Parete reaches up to the Domitian coast, to Castel Volturno, also touching the Neapolitan municipality of Giugliano, controlled by the Mallardo clan, always allied with the "Bidognettiani".
The five, in various capacities, were charged at the time with the crimes of extortion and illegal possession of weapons and explosives, crimes committed with the aggravating circumstance of the mafia method, and Vittorio, at the beginning of 2019, was also sentenced (to 7 years and 4 months) by the Court of Appeal of Naples, together with the other four defendants.
According to investigators, the “new hierarchy of the Casalesi clan” between December 2016 and May 2017 carried out a series of extortions against economic operators in the municipalities between the provinces of Naples and Caserta, and also at least four bomb attacks against those who refused to pay the protection money. Finally, two members of the group gave significant help to the investigations, starting to collaborate with justice.
