Naples. He was reached by the precautionary order in Trauma Center of Cardarelli in Naples where he has been hospitalized for 5 days for a series of serious gunshot wounds.
In fact, Ernesto Giordano, the 28-year-old wounded by gunshots on the night between the 4th and 5th of last year in Scampia, is among the seven people arrested today by the Carabinieri of Aversa as part of an investigation coordinated by the Prosecutor's Office of North Naples (PM Cesare Sirignano) on charges of drug dealing.
The 28 year old was in the area around 4am on board his car when he was hit by numerous bullets that hit him in both limbs, a shoulder and the back.
The investigating judge of Naples North has issued a precautionary measure against seven suspects (three in prison and four with the benefit of house arrest) after investigations by the Carabinieri that began in the last months of last year into drug dealing in the Giuglianese and Caserta areas, and an attempted extortion linked to a stolen 100-kilo load of hashish that was hidden in Orta di Atella to be divided into doses and sold.
Wiretaps revealed how the demand and delivery of drugs took place and several areas of that area, despite the cryptic and conventional language used by the dealers.
The most sought-after drug was cocaine, but sometimes also hashish, and customers were added to well-known bars and pizzerias by the pusher. In three months of investigations, the investigators understood that the suspects, even if they did not have an organized structure, were very operational.
With hundreds of very short telephone conversations a day, lasting a maximum of 40 seconds, they managed to reach an agreement and organize a meeting with the client, generating a sale of approximately one kilo of drugs per month for a profit of approximately 70.000 euros per month.
A sort of itinerant distribution, based above all on relationships, even of a personal nature, between the suspects and their clients, without logistical or organizational structures, but a source of considerable profit.
