The Court of Naples, 3 Collegio B, President Primavera, revoked the order of personal precautionary custody for Giuseppe Illiano, replacing it with the obligation to report to the PG (D'Amelio and the Festas had their in-house measures replaced with house arrest following the presentation of the request by Lawyers Arturo Cola and Prof. Maiello), considered the instigator of the punitive expedition against Salvatore Cassese, billionaire entrepreneur, former member of the Casalnuovo force, in December 2019.
Therefore, the widespread and well-articulated legal reasons formulated by the Lawyers Massimo Viscusi and Claudio Davino were accepted. The latter's release from prison deals a huge blow to the huge investigation by the Neapolitan Prosecutor's Office on the last strand of this investigation.
The Naples Review Court, 12th section, in the referral hearing, had annulled the precautionary orders of the Court of Cassation, contested by the Public Prosecutor's Office and the defense of Antonio Festa, Gennaro Festa (ordering release from prison for those charges, except for detention for other titles) and Giuseppe Illiano (excluding the aggravating circumstance of the mafia method, on which the second review was to rule, confirming the rest), considered the authors, according to the prosecution, of the ambush on Salvatore Cassese, with the aggravating circumstance of the mafia method, making use of the intimidating force of the Contini Clan.
The three are accused before the third section of the B Panel of the Naples court and after the referral to trial the trial began on October 29, which sees the three accused of the crimes of attempted murder, extortion (for Illiano only the aggravating circumstance of the mafia method), for the Festas also other charges of money laundering, self-laundering, counterfeiting, fictitious registration of companies and assets, membership of the clan, with the aggravating circumstance of the mafia method, making use of the intimidating force of the Contini Clan.
The investigation carried out by the DDA of the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office which led to the arrests of more than 150 people linked in various capacities to the clan.

Yes, it is true, there are many things to consider in this situation. The decisions of the court must be well-reasoned and transparent for everyone, otherwise justice seems not to work properly.
The article discusses a very complicated legal case, but I am not sure that it is right to revoke the detention order. There are many details that are not clear and perhaps another trial would be better.
