Naples. The Camorra is once again making its voice heard in the Fuorigrotta area, where a convicted felon known for his drug dealing activities was injured the other evening. Cristian Faraci, a 27-year-old from the area, was shot in the legs.
The 27-year-old was wounded in the knee while he was near a bar in via Agnano agli Astroni, Faraci was immediately rescued and taken to the nearby San Paolo hospital. His conditions, fortunately, are not serious, but the incident immediately turned the spotlight on the criminal circles of the area.
According to initial police reconstructions, two men riding a scooter opened fire on Faraci, hitting him only once.

Faraci, originally from Fuorigrotta and with ties to a youth faction linked in the past to the Esposito clan-Iadonisi, would have ended up in the crosshairs because of his illicit activities, particularly related to drug trafficking. His recent arrest for possession of over a kilo of cocaine, which occurred last September, would have made him an interesting target for his rivals.
Investigators are now thoroughly investigating his contacts and the circumstances that led to the attack. It has not been ruled out that the attack may be linked to the ongoing criminal reorganization in the Bagnoli and Agnano area, following the arrest of key members of the Esposito clan.

I don't understand why in Fuorigrotta there are always problems with the Camorra, it seems that one can never live peacefully. People are afraid and don't know what to do. Faraci is not an example to follow but things should change.
