Torre Annunziata. There is a testimone who saw the killers open fire and then chase and deliver the final blow to Francesco Immobile in front of the church of Sant'Alfonso.
He is the only one to have had the courage to tell to the police what happened on Sunday just before lunch in Torre Annunziata. Yet there were many people in the square. All disappeared. Unfortunately, the area is not covered by public cameras, investigators are looking for images useful for the investigation from private ones in the area.
The witness described the ferocity of the killer who chased Francesco Immobile to the crucifix: his was a mission of death to be accomplished at all costs. And so it was. And among other things, under cover the accomplice waiting on the scooter was even armed with a machine gun. If ever his intervention was necessary.
Francesco Immobile died at the San Leonardo hospital in Castellammare, transported by his wife and other family members. The woman looked out onto the balcony of her house, after hearing the roar of gunshots and the screams of the people and saw her husband lying on the ground in a pool of blood. A scene she will hardly forget.
The fight for the management of the drug dealing areas in Torre Annunziata is said to be behind the murder of Francesco Immobile. The investigators seem to have no doubts, as they are working tirelessly on the murder of the man, already known to the police in particular for drug-related crimes.
And it is precisely behind the management of the city drug dealing but also of the extortions that the reasons that led to the execution of Immobile are hidden (he is the nephew of the repentant Giontiano killer). Michael Palumbo, but he is also married to the daughter of Nicholas Malvone affiliated with the Gallo-Cavalieri, who in turn is also the nephew of Francis Gallo, the famous “pisiello”: the boss detained under the 41-bis regime who lent his villa to film the scenes of the first series of Gomorrah).
Immobile's alleged membership in the Gallo-Cavaliere clan, does not exclude that his death is also the tragic "response" to the other episode of crime that bloodied the streets of the Vesuvian city last weekend, the one that saw the wounding on Saturday afternoon of Michael Guarro, another element known to the police and believed to be close to the Gionta clan. In that case too, investigators suspect, the killers' intention would have been to kill the intended victim, although Guarro's quick reflexes - who managed to escape from his possible assassins by running away when he realized the danger - could have ruined the initial plans.

Yesterday they gathered near the "press freedom bench" in Villa del Parnaso: this is the bench inaugurated two years ago to remember the sacrifice of Giancarlo Siani, the reporter for the daily newspaper Il Mattino who was murdered by the Camorra on 23 September 1985. An initiative promoted by his brother Paul Siani, today a member of the Democratic Party, together, among others, with his colleague from the mixed group Sandro Ruotolo and with the local garrison of the association Libera and wanted already several days ago, but which today has taken on a different light following the latest criminal events that have affected the city of Oplonti.

A meeting right in the Prefecture, which was also attended by the widow of Maurizio Cerrato, victim of a fatal attack on April 19, Tania Sorrentino, and Fabiola Staiano, daughter of an entrepreneur killed by the Camorra on 4 July 1986 for having reported extortionate taxes.

During the meeting, the associations underlined, also through the delivery of the document, ”the importance – it is stated in a note issued by the Prefecture of Naples – to act in a cohesive manner between institutions and civil society, to combat organized crime in the city of Torre Annunziata, whose citizens are being put to the test by the brutal recrudescence of criminal acts, culminating in an injury and a murder in the last two days”.
ATTENTION OF THE PREFECT OF NAPLES ON TORRE ANNUNZIATA
The prefect, we learn from the note, "he assured that the territory of Torre Annunziata has been the object of maximum attention by the prefecture and the police for months". In the last year, in fact, four specific meetings of the Public Order and Safety Committee have been held, with the presence of the magistrates of the Oplontina Prosecutor's Office and the District Anti-Mafia Prosecutor's Office, and numerous coordinated control operations of the territory have been carried out with "high impact" methods.
”Attention, therefore – conclude from the Prefecture – will remain high, also through comparison with the realities of civil society, to support legalistic paths within the framework of a necessary economic, social and cultural relaunch of the area”.
