Naples. “I don’t remember Marco Di Lauro being present” at the summit between the leaders of the Di Lauro clan organised after the arrest of Cosimo Di Lauro, a crucial meeting during which it was decided that the strategy of terror started by Cosimo had to continue.
The collaborator of justice for five times Antonio Capasso, answering the questions of the deputy attorney general of Naples Maria Di Addeo said that she had no memory of the presence of the fourth son of Paolo Di Lauro at that meeting. Capasso, together with another "pentito", Aantonio Prestieri, was heard today in the New Palace of Justice in Naples as part of the second degree trial on the murder of Attilio Romano, innocent victim of the Camorra, mistaken for the boss's nephew Rosario Pariante and killed in his shop on January 24, 2005.
A murder for which Marco Di Lauro, nicknamed by the investigators "F4", was sentenced in the first instance to a life sentence which was then revoked by the Court of Cassation which twice annulled the appeal sentence based precisely on the inconsistencies that emerged in the statements made by the collaborators of justice. Capasso, answering the magistrate's questions, also confirmed that, in that period, the regency of the clan was in Marco's hands but that he was not the only one, among the leaders, to make decisions: there was, for example, also Joseph Pica (deceased) believed to be a man very close to F4, among those who held the helm of the criminal organization founded by Paolo di Lauro, known as “Ciruzzo the millionaire” iAt that time he was at war with the Scissionisti for the control of the drug dealing areas of Scampia and Secondigliano.
