arzano. The climate of fear returns to the city: gangs of unknown people with masked faces and riding motorbikes parade in a “procession” through the city streets. The clans challenge the police in broad daylight. The clan does not stop, not even after the 29 arrests that took place on 25 April and the atmosphere is bad after the acquittals in the Assize and Appeal courts of the bosses Renato Napoleone, Francesco Paolo Russo and Angelo Gambino, detained and sentenced in the first instance to life imprisonment for the murder of Ciro Casone which took place in a tanning salon and former area boss of arzano on behalf of the Moccia clan.
Strange movements, in fact, were reportedly recorded yesterday evening between 19 and 19,30:167 pm on the city territory. Unknown people, some of whom with partially disguised faces and riding motorcycles, were reportedly roaming the streets of the town, the day of the news of the acquittal of Napoleone, Russo and Gambino, considered in the arrest warrants against the 12 clan, the real area leaders of Arzano with monthly salaries of up to XNUMX thousand euros per month. It could be one of the first signs of strength that of yesterday evening.
At least four motorcycles carrying individuals with unsavory intentions would have traveled at high speed zigzagging between cars and sidewalks in Piazza Cimmino, Via Pecchia and Via Napoli, at least according to the stories of frightened citizens. These are not very reassuring episodes that make it appropriate for the police to immediately acquire images from private cameras to verify this day of madness and to delve deeper into its various aspects.
In fact, in Arzano, there is still no network of municipal city cameras. The three acquitted, who obviously will have to deal with the possible appeal of the Attorney General, were believed to be in the service first of Mariano Riccio (son-in-law of Cesare Pagano), and subsequently at the court of aunt Rosaria Pagano. The criminal caliber of the three, whose release has caused dismay among the population, brings to mind their proverbial ferocity recognized by numerous informants and investigations. Napoleone, among other things, was engaged to Pasquale Cristiano's sister. What happened on Thursday highlights the vulnerability of a territory that has been at the mercy of clans for decades, who face each other with gunfights and murders.
