Olimpo Trial: the first convictions arrive for the 9 defendants linked to the D'Alessandro, Cesarano and Afeltra clans of Castellammare, Pimonte and Agerola who have chosen the abbreviated trial.
Among them is Teresa Martone, widow of godfather Michele D'Alessandro. The overall sentences amount to approximately 50 years in prison, halved compared to the requests made by the DDA prosecutor, Giuseppe Cimmarota.
The sentences in detail: for Teresa Martone, the request was for 9 years of imprisonment but the sentence imposed was exactly half: 4 years and 6 months. The heaviest sentence had been requested for the entrepreneur of the Liberato Paturzo clan, known as cocò, who has always been close to the Scanzano clan, for whom the Antimafia asked for 12 years of prison: but he was sentenced to 5 years and 4 months. For the others: 6 years for Vincenzo Di Vuolo, 5 years for Giovanni Cesarano (known as Nicola), 5 years and 4 months for Nicola Esposito 'o mostro, Giovanni Gentile and Raffaele Afeltra 'o burraccione, 6 years and 4 months for Aniello Falanga, finally 4 years and 6 months for Francesco Afeltra, Raffaele's brother.
