Naples. A new chapter has been written in the bloody feud between the Rinaldi and Mazzarella clans. The Naples Court of Assizes of Appeal has reduced the sentences of those responsible for the murder of Luigi Mignano, which occurred on April 9, 2019, in the San Giovanni a Teduccio neighborhood.

A crime that had shocked the city, not only for the cruelty of the execution, but also for the context in which it occurred: in front of a nursery school, with small children horrified witnesses of the scene.

An abandoned backpack on the ground, right next to Mignano's lifeless body, made the image of that ambush even more tragic, so much so that the crime was nicknamed " the backpack crime ."

The judges sentenced Gennaro Autiero to twenty years in prison, Giuseppe Musella to thirty years and confirmed the life sentences for Ciro Rosario Terracciano, Giovanni Salomone and Pasquale Ariosto.

Life sentences confirmed only for Ciro Rosario Terracciano, Giovanni Salomone and Pasquale Ariosto

A verdict that confirms the gravity of a bloody crime committed in broad daylight, in a working-class neighborhood, and that once again underlines the infernal logic of the Camorra, capable of reaping innocent victims and sowing terror among the population.
