There is a clash underway between the Iadonisi group of the Lauro district and the stub of Fuorigrotta behind the shooting with scenes from the Wild West of the late afternoon yesterday in via Leopardi.
Article Key Points
The police and the Carabinieri have been working since yesterday to reconstruct what happened and have examined the numerous images from the many public and private cameras located both at the site of the shooting and along the escape route.
It all started in via Consalvo, where a black Honda Sh with two men on board crossed paths with another motorcycle, of unknown type and color, with two other people on board. Between the four, belonging to two rival clans, there was an argument that quickly degenerated into a shootout.
It is still unclear which of the two vehicles then fled at full speed towards Via Leopardi, where a second shooting took place at number 80, also without injuries.
In the meantime, a police car was in the area and, hearing the sound of the gunshots, started chasing them, but the traffic allowed the gun-toting motorcyclists to disappear.
Three 7,65 caliber shell casings were found at the scene. Police and Carabinieri have begun investigations to reconstruct the incident and identify those responsible.
The episode occurred in the Fuorigrotta neighborhood, an area that has long been the scene of clashes between the Troncone and Esposito-Iadonisi clans.
It is assumed that the shooting is the latest chapter in this bloody feud, fueled by the fight for control of the racket of extortion against illegal parking attendants and stalls around the Maradona stadium, which with the new enthusiasm with the arrival of Conte on the bench of the Napoli It will certainly bring in more revenue than last year.
Control of the Fuorigrotta territory around the stadium that was the reason for the clash
But more generally, for the control of drug dealing areas in the territory, money laundering in food and beverage and entertainment activities.
It was just a coincidence that yesterday no innocent victims escaped like when last April 4th, in Piazza Italia, a woman, Luisa Mangiapia, was accidentally injured during another inter-clan shootout.
Once again, investigators are faced with the nightmare of organized crime spreading terror among the civilian population. The hunt for those responsible is underway, but the road to defeating the camorra and bringing safety back to Naples still seems long and uphill.
