The investigations, conducted by Flying Squad of Caserta, immediately focused on Schiavone and De Gennaro, suspected of having started the fire with the aim of intimidating the company's owners.
According to investigators, the two men attempted to obtain management of the company as compensation for an alleged debt owed to the owners. Their pressure had become unbearable, culminating in direct threats against the new manager, GC, who in the meantime had assumed control of the site.
