Pignataro Maggiore. A historic ruling confirmed the guilt of the Lubrano brothers for the threats made to the journalist Salvatore Minieri. The two sons of the boss Vincenzo Lubrano, leading members of the Pignataro Maggiore clan, were convicted on appeal for having intimidated the journalist in 2011, during an investigation into the reorganization of the clan.
An act of courage punished – Minieri, engaged in a thorough investigation into the new criminal activities of the Caserta clans, had been isolated during a funeral procession and threatened with death. His courageous denunciations led to the conviction of the two bosses, who had tried to silence him to protect their power.
Confirmation of a criminal power – The sentence confirms the dangerousness of the Lubrano clan, always involved in illicit trafficking and murders. The ties with the Corleonesi and other important mafia families underline the pervasiveness of organized crime in the territory.
A victory for the truth – Thanks to the tenacious work of lawyers Iovino and Grauso, justice has recognized the gravity of the facts and condemned those responsible. This sentence is an important signal for all those who fight against the mafia and for the defense of freedom of the press.
