The Court of Appeal rejected the appeal filed by the Naples Prosecutor's Office, which contested the failure to apply the mafia aggravating circumstance against Luca Esposito, son-in-law of the boss Patrizio Bosti (detained under the 41 bis regime), in relation to the crime of self-laundering. The Prosecutor's Office also opposed the exclusion of Esposito from membership in the Contini clan.
The same criminal section of the Review Court (the twelfth, presided over by judge Michele Mazzeo) has adopted a similar decision for Flora Bosti, wife of Esposito and daughter of the boss Patrizio Bosti, limited to the aggravating mafia circumstance.
The exclusion of the aggravating circumstance against the Esposito-Bosti couple, defended by the lawyers Annamaria Ziccardi and Nicola Pomponio, had been ordered on June 20 by the investigating judge of Naples, Antonino Santoro. Furthermore, Luca Esposito had already been acquitted on two previous occasions from the accusation of being part of the criminal organization once led by his father-in-law, a member of the so-called “Secondigliano Alliance”.
