Also among those arrested by the Naples DIA for the investigation into mafia-related political exchanges in Melito di Napoli, a municipality north of Naples , is entrepreneur Emilio Rostan, father of former MP Michela Rostan from 2012 to 2022.
The entrepreneur was considered the mastermind behind the mayoral elections for Mottola, who ended up in prison. According to investigations, he met several times with the man considered the Amato Pagano clan 's point man in the municipality of Melito and beyond.
This is Vincenzo Nappi , killed in a restaurant during an ambush clearly involving the Camorra. According to investigators, Rostan had several meetings with Nappi.
Emilio Rostan, entrepreneur and father of former MP Michela, who is completely unrelated to the investigation, believes investigators managed to obtain a block of votes controlled by the Amato-Pagano clan to support the candidacy of Luciano Mottola , of whom he was a supporter.
Rostan also promised Antonio Cuozzo , also the recipient of a precautionary measure, a job in exchange for electoral support. Mottola (backed by the Brothers of Italy and several civic lists) then won the runoff elections over Domeniquye Pellecchia (PD-M5S and Free Melito) by just 387 votes.
