Angri. The Carabinieri have arrested two people accused of the murder of Mario Carotenuto, the 35-year-old man found dead Sunday morning in Angri. They are a 40-year-old local businessman and his 30-year-old Romanian co-worker.
The investigation, coordinated by the Nocera Inferiore Public Prosecutor's Office, revealed a punitive motive. According to investigators, Carotenuto had engaged in harassing behavior toward customers and employees of several establishments in the historic center on Saturday evening.
This behavior would have triggered the anger of the two alleged killers, who would have planned and carried out the deadly ambush.

The video surveillance cameras were essential in reconstructing the facts. The footage showed Carotenuto being reached by his attackers, who hit it with a baseball bat and then with a gunshot.
The painstaking work of the Carabinieri, led by the Commander of the Nocera Inferiore Territorial Unit, Gianfranco Albanese, allowed them to identify and arrest the two suspects. During the operation, they seized the baseball bat and gun used in the murder.
After questioning, the two arrested men were taken to the Salerno prison.
