Capaldo (camorrista, collaboratore di giustizia, già condannato per un murder), He is accused of murder and concealment of a corpse and admitted to killing the victim in his cellar, hitting her on the head with several hammer blows. Lodeserto disappeared on August 30, 2023, and his family filed a complaint.
Capaldo was a leading figure in the Gagliardi-Fragnoli clan, operating in Mondragone. Arrested for the murder and concealment of the body of drug courier Edokpa Gowin, known as “Nokia”, which took place in Villa Literno on 27 May 2014, he was sentenced in 2015 to 15 years as the instigator and material executor by the Court of Assizes of Santa Maria Capua Vetere.
He had been linked to the Gagliardi-Fragnoli clan of Mondragone
Court that had sentenced his accomplice, Giuseppe De Filippis, also affiliated with the Gagliardi-Fragnoli clan. Nel gennaio 2019, la Cassazione mise la parola fine a quel delitto, confermando le pene. Ed era stato proprio Capaldo, fermato con la pistola dell’omicidio e prima che i police scoprissero il cadavere di “Nokia”, a raccontare tutto e a far arrestare De Filippis. Diventato collaboratore di giustizia, Capaldo era stato inserito nel programma speciale di protezione e, da Roma, trasferito a Torino. Ospite appunto in via San Massimo, in un alloggio della comunità di Sant’Egidio.
“Legitimate defense”
Initially, Capaldo was also charged with the aggravating circumstance of premeditation, which was later not confirmed. “He acted in self-defense,” says lawyer Gianluca Orlando, who is assisting the defendant. “When they met, Lodeserto had a fake gun with him. Capaldo saw the weapon and thought it was real.”
The lawyer asked for the acquittal or the reformulation of the crime in excessive negligence of self-defense. Capaldo allegedly hid the body for over three months, until it was found by the police, after a long investigation.
The motive
According to what was confessed, the crime in via San Massimo was due to a question of money related to a woman who had had relationships with both of them. Capaldo began to insistently ask Lodeserto for a large sum of money, until he invited him for a clarification, where the confrontation turned into a tragedy.
