Letters. The fact that the mafia boss Ciro Gargiulo, known as "O' Blondo," murdered on February 19th, was one of the leaders of the marijuana trafficking ring in the Lattari Mountains was further confirmed this morning.
The Carabinieri of the local station, together with the military of the operational section of the Castellammare di Stabia company , conducted a detailed inspection on Via San Giorgio in Casola di Napoli, where the boss was killed.
During the operations, the Carabinieri discovered and confiscated 33 kilos of marijuana of unknown origin. The drugs were contained in two bags that had been hidden in an open area, camouflaged among the brambles of the vegetation along the banks of a watercourse.
The investigations are still ongoing since Gargiulo's entire family lives in that area, involved as a whole in drug trafficking.
