The weapons of the Camorra feud in the Phlegraean area were kept in the fruit and vegetable shop in Bagnoli owned by the unsuspecting Salvatore Vivenzio, a 41-year-old with no criminal record.
The Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Naples are convinced of this, and after the recent news events that occurred in Fuorigrotta, they have intensified controls in the area, combing the streets and carrying out several searches on criminals.
And not by chance during the operations, last night the military of the Investigative Nucleus and the Naples Bagnoli Company found and seized a real arsenal of weapons inside the fruit and vegetable shop in via Miseno.
10 pistols, 6 Kalashnikovs, 5 machine guns, two bullet-proof vests, 1 paper bomb and various ammunition.
I Carabinieri They also found 13 kilos of narcotic substances including hashish and marijuana in the shop.
Along with Salvatore Vivenzio, his uncle Antonio Esposito, 71, was also arrested. Neither of them appears to have ties to the clans, but the discovery of the arsenal opens up new investigative scenarios. Vivenzio is originally from the Traiano district. The shop where the weapons were found falls within the criminal domain of the Esposito clan. But in that area there are also members of the D'Ausilio and Giannelli clans.
Technical surveys are still underway and the weapons will also be subjected to ballistic tests to ascertain their possible use in bloody crimes and in the criminal events that have recently occurred in the neighborhoods of the western area of the city. The investigators already know on whose behalf the unsuspecting greengrocer was keeping the weapons but they want to understand the connections and above all whether he was forced to do so and why.
