A violent raid, carried out last April at the home of criminal lawyer Vittorio Giaquinto, is at the center of an investigation that has led to the arrest of four people and the summons of five others for questioning. According to the Public Prosecutor's Office of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, the attack was orchestrated by Igor Zdravkovic, a 32-year-old Montenegrin Serb living in the suburbs of Naples, already known to law enforcement for violent robberies in the provinces of Naples and Avellino.
The night of the raid, described as a real nightmare, lasted about an hour and a half: Giaquinto was brutally beaten, dragged along the corridor of his home and then taken to the house of his neighbors, a couple in their seventies, who were also threatened and robbed of three thousand euros. The criminals took away from the criminal lawyer's house ten thousand euros in cash, a legally held gun and ancient coins with an estimated value of around one million euros.
The investigations, conducted by Flying Squad of the Caserta Police Headquarters, have allowed the identification of a gang composed of foreigners and Italians, mostly residents of the Neapolitan hinterland and Scampia. Among the clues collected, telephone interceptions, shadowing and analysis of telephone cells stand out, which placed some suspects at the crime scene.
According to investigators, Zdravkovic played a central role in the gang: he selected targets, coordinated the activities of his accomplices, provided transportation and telephone services, and directly participated in the robberies to give orders.

The investigating judge Daniela Vecchiarelli has issued a precautionary prison order for four people and a restrictive measure for five other suspects at large, who will be questioned on December 19.
