“We are at the epilogue of a tragedy that has struck not only Pollica, but all of Cilento, where drug lords, politicians and some men from the Institutions have created a cartel to invade public property and conquer the territory. It is now clear for all to see.
The Foundation dedicated to Mayor Angelo Vassallo, brutally murdered years ago, has been a stronghold of commitment to legality and the truth about the murder. Those who have dared to challenge this cause, denying the evidence of the connection between his death and organized crime, have contributed to the perpetuation of a devastating corruption that has affected Cilento as a whole.
The recent action of the Anti-Mafia Prosecutor's Office of Salerno, which questioned the Carabinieri Colonel Fabio Cagnazzo and led to the identification of nine suspects, is a tangible sign of the courage and perseverance of those who fight for justice.
This investigation is just the tip of the iceberg, and our determination has shown that the power of culture and truth is more powerful than the dark plots of those who betray the institutions." Dario Vassallo, President of the Angelo Vassallo Mayor Fisherman Foundation, said this.
“Despite the political promises made to Cilento, some exponents of various political forces have contributed to this nefarious cartel, casting a shadow on the reputation of a region that deserved a different fate.
The Vassallo Foundation urges the Anti-Mafia Prosecutor's Office to continue the investigation, digging deep to reveal all the connections that led to this tragedy.
Angelo’s sacrifice must serve as a warning against anyone who seeks to compromise legality and good politics. The truth is our most powerful weapon, and we will continue to fight to honor the memory of Angelo Vassallo and protect the future of Cilento”,concludes Vassallo-.
