On June 6, on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary, they had held a real public celebration in the style of Gomorrah to remember the boss killed on the evening of the celebrations for Napoli's victory in the championship.
Yesterday in the Conocal district of Ponticelli, stronghold of the D'Amico clan, fraulella, yet another demonstration of Camorra tackiness: the music band, the flags and the children marching not to celebrate the local patron saint but, rather, to pay homage to Vincenzo Costanzo, the 26 year old boss of Conocal, killed in a Camorra ambush.
As reported by the journalist Luciana Esposito, who has been on the front line against the clans that are gripping the eastern outskirts of Naples for years, the child, who can be seen in the video, who carries the photo of the boss in glory, is said to be a nephew of Costanzo to whom a votive shrine was also dedicated where all the faces of the murdered Fraulella were inserted.
And Luciana Esposito asked herself three questions:
1) Just two days ago, in that same neighborhood, the 17-year-old who shot the engineer who last March had refused to hand over his scooter, leaving him on the brink of death, was arrested. This is why they should stay home and be ashamed, especially because those investigations confirmed the presence of an operational base of robbers who leave from Conocal to rob the good people who live in the neighborhood.
2)In the recent past, the Municipality of Naples promoted a vigorous campaign aimed at restoring legality and which included the obscuring of murals and the removal of votive altars that paid homage to the murdered Camorristi. The police should therefore explain to us how and why the votive altar that houses all the giant photographs of the Camorristi of the D'Amico clan killed in an ambush are brought to glory in a chapel that lies in the heart of their stronghold. Is it possible that no one, during a normal control activity, noticed it?
3) The use/abuse of very young children who are clearly incapable of understanding the gravity of their actions MUST raise attention and alarm. In this case, the announced 'passing of the baton' by putting the nephew of the murdered boss in a position to carry that painting to glory and then have his portrait taken next to that giant photograph, requires that the institutions take charge of the problem.
And so the final question: “Where is the State? It is legitimate to ask this when looking at these images”.
"We joined Luciana's complaint, who reported the matter to social services and the Curia." - declared the deputy of the Green-left alliance Francesco Emilio Borrelli - "Furthermore, we alerted the Prefect to intervene to quell these events celebrating the Camorra and in homage to bosses and criminals. The votive shrine that was supposedly built in homage to the boss Costanza must be identified and dismantled. The State must restore legality in these territories and send away, one at a time forever, the physical and cultural presence of the Camorra.
