Liberated Plain, Bosses Intercepted: “The Police Took Our AK47, The Most Powerful Piece”

The day after Pianura, freed from the asphyxiation of the Camorra clans, seems to want to revive despite the intense heat.

From the investigations and the wiretaps other horrifying details emerge about the feud and the violence of the characters involved. “The most powerful piece”. Thus, three affiliates of the new criminal group of the Pianura neighborhood, the one headed by Antonio Calone, Carlo Esposito and Emanuele Marsicano, hit by the flurry of arrests, they define the Kalashnikov (AK47) that the State Police seized from him.

The new criminal group Calone-Esposito-Marsicano, which carries out illicit business, especially through extortion, drug dealing and the illegal occupation of public housing, is considered to be part of the vast galaxy of satellites of theSecondigliano Alliance, made up of the Licciardi, Bosti-Contini and Mallardo clans.

In an environmental interception of the Naples Flying Squad, coordinated by the first manager Alfredo Fabbrocini, dating back to November 13, 2021, Emanuele Marsicano, believed to be the head of the new emerging group together with Esposito and another affiliate (all of whom ended up in prison) express all their regret for the seizure of the AK47 by the Police.

According to investigators, it would also be the same weapon used in a raid against the owner of a car wash that falls right in the area of ​​jurisdiction of the new criminal clan.

The weapon of war, which the interlocutors call “Kalash”, was seized the day before the interception. “Luckily the grass didn't…”Says Esposito, also considered to be the head of the criminal group, referring to the small drug seizure suffered. “Hey Carlo, you're worried about the grass (drugs, ed.). They took the most powerful piece we had”, reply Emanuel Marsicano, referring to the AK47.

“We'll buy it back, Manuele (editor's note)”, says the accused Paolo Ciotola. And Marsicano responds “…where do we find him in the town with the brothel? (with the confusion in the neighborhood, ed.)”. Ciotola replies by telling Marsicano that his brother-in-law (of Marsicano, ed.) has it. And this is an important element of the investigation that allows the Flying Squad to understand where the group buys its weapons.

Esposito recalls that, in fact, Marsicano's brother-in-law “he kept it (the Kalashnikov, ed.)” and Ciotola adds: “two coppini (in slang it means 2 thousand euros, ed.) for the Kalash…” and Esposito corrects him: “no, two and five (2500 euros, ed.)…”.

“Antò, we hit, we scored five goals”, states on December 7, 2020 in an intercepted conversation Francesco Capuozzo, one of the members of the Carillo fire group according to the accusation. The day before his leader was wounded, Antonio Carillo, and the most loyal man went out with 3 accomplices in search of the enemies to take revenge.

According to the investigators' reconstruction, there were four of them on two scooters: Capuozzo with Louis DiLorenzo ditto “Gigino” e Lorenzo Rossetti Antonio Covelli (brother of Andrea, kidnapped, and killed last week). Here are some passages of the interception, reported by the newspaper Il Roma, which confirm the firefight with the Esposito-Marsicano-Calone group. Capuozzo: “Antò, we hit…we scored five goals, we conceded….(incomprehensible)”.

Covelli: “Did you catch him? And he didn’t go to the hospital?” Capuozzo: “Eh! But he didn’t go to San Paolo, boy, he didn’t go”. Covelli: “Ah?”.
Capuozzo: “He didn't go to the…(incomprehensible)..he stated that he, didn't you see the article?”. Covelli: "Do not".Capuozzo: “He declared that he was shot in Pozzuoli”. Covelli: “Where did you hit him?”. Capuozzo: “Inside the thigh…we aimed it”. By Lorenzo: “This chitammuort was picking on me…you were killing me.. chitammuort”. By Lorenzo: “Do you want to finish it…” Covelli: “I turned around, Lorenzo turned… boom boom boom.”

The investigations revealed that the wounded man had nothing to do with the war in Pianura and that Lorenzo Rossetti had been the worst of it in the firefight. The day before, Antonio Carillo had been wounded and in those two days the agreement between the two clans, laboriously reached with the mediation of the boss of the Traiano district, fell through. Maurizio Legnante “the Taliban”.
