Afragola, robbery commissioned by the priest: three more arrests

New arrests in the robbery case commissioned by a friar from the Sanctuary of San Matia occorrevole in Piedimonte Matese, relating to the period in which he carried out his duties in the Basilica of Sant'Antonio da Padova in Afragola.

I police of the Afragola station, have executed a custodial order issued by the investigating judge of the Naples North tribunal, which orders prison for one person and house arrest for two other individuals, all deemed responsible for aggravated robbery in competition.

After thearrest, last August, of six people – including two friars – the investigations of the Prosecutor's Office of North Naples continued to track down the other alleged perpetrators. The robbery was commissioned by Nicola Gildi, a friar who was in service at the Convent of Santa Maria Accettavole, to 'recover' cell phones, videos, photos and 'compromising' chats of a sexual nature involving friars.

Further investigation and technical tools have allowed us to identify other people involved in this robbery and to document how attempts were made to prevent their identification by also promising money to the relatives of people already arrested.

Intercepted conversations between robbers and their families in prison

Conversations intercepted in prison during the robbers' conversations with their families allowed us to reconstruct the complex context in which the robbery had occurred and to acquire further evidence on the motive that had led to the violent theft of the cell phones from the two victims.
