Caserta – A criminal organization specializing in robberies and home burglaries has been busted by law enforcement: eight people ended up in handcuffs thanks to investigations coordinated by the Santa Maria Capua Vetere Public Prosecutor's Office.
Article Key Points
The investigations started from a violent robbery that took place in April 2023 against the lawyer from Caserta Vittorio Giaquinto and his neighbors. The criminals, disguised and armed, had entered the homes, attacking the victims and taking away a large amount of loot.
A precise modus operandi
The investigations revealed a well-organized group, composed of Italians and Roma. The former identified the homes to be hit, while the latter physically carried out the robberies. The group operated throughout Campania, demonstrating considerable organizational capacity.
A blitz and an arrest in flagrante
In January 2024, the police struck a blow to the gang, arresting four robbers red-handed while they were attempting a theft in Naples. The officers, lying in wait, caught them trying to force open a window.
A well-structured criminal organization
The investigations allowed to reconstruct the entire activity of the criminal group, linking it to other robberies carried out in the province of Avellino.
