Vassallo Murder, The Foundation: “Angelo was killed because he fought against organized crime”

"There is criminal, criminal, and Camorra responsibility, and political responsibility, and this is documented by the fact that both in life and after death, they first hindered Angelo and then hindered the Foundation's efforts, which wasn't a strange effort, but one aimed at seeking the truth about who killed the mayor, and therefore who killed the State."

The report drawn up by the Anti-Mafia Commission is very clear because it states what we have been denouncing for years: "Angelo Vassallo had discovered and fought drug trafficking in the port of Acciaroli, which “was used as a landing place for drugs to be sold in the Cilento area and beyond”.

Furthermore "Only thanks to a part of the institutions that continued to investigate, even where it seemed impossible, was it possible to uncover the truth. And crucially, the relentless efforts of a part of the family, who strive in every way to keep attention focused on the work, personal story, and death of Angelo Vassallo, have been crucial."

This was said by Dario Vassallo and Massimo Vassallo, brothers of Angelo Vassallo, respectively President and Vice President of the Foundation named after the Fisher Mayor, in commenting on the closure of the work of the parliamentary commission of inquiry into the phenomenon of mafias, in particular in relation to the murder of the mayor Angelo Vassallo occurred in Pollica on 5 September 2010. Investigation not completed due to the dissolution of the Legislature.

“Together with thousands of people who have joined the Angelo Vassallo Foundation, we have always sought the truth, but the real truth, because we know well how things go in this country and in these 12 years we have always been vigilant and attentive to what was happening, because, as we have always said, to seek the truth about Angelo's killing, you have to leave Cilento and go beyond. We did it, while others said: but who makes you do it, it happened. These fools have never understood the meaning of Angelo's killing.

And in conclusion, the question to ask is: what was the other party doing? It's now clear to everyone that some members of the government carried out a cover-up that night and in the days that followed. The crime of cover-up is regulated by Article 375 of the Criminal Code and carries a prison sentence of 3 to 8 years. Let's hope it doesn't become ridiculous and we don't talk about the statute of limitations for this crime, because if it was committed by members of the state, it's shameful. - they conclude.
