Naples. The hunt is on for the lone killer who killed Enrico Capozzi last night at the Merola park in Ponticelli. The investigators are on the right track. This can be understood from the words of the Prefect of Naples, Mcihele Di Bari: "The sensational fact in itself, obviously, requires reflection. What I can say is a reality that occurred in 2024: the police forces and the judiciary, in most cases, have almost immediately identified those responsible".

Words spoken on the sidelines of a press conference, in which the situation was assessed on what happened in 2024. "On the part of the police forces - explained the Prefect - there is great attention because prevention, especially in those territories, today has improved by far compared to the past".
The prefect of Naples: "A sensational fact, it requires reflection"
The Naples mobile squad that is conducting the investigations already seems to have a clear picture from an investigative point of view. Enrico Capozzi a few months ago had reported the boss of the De Micco, Antonio Nocerino called Brodino. He had no contacts with the organized crime of Ponticelli and was managing a gas station.
Even though he rarely left the house after his wife's death, and also had three children to take care of, the person who killed him knew his movements and waited for him near his house to take action. Four or five shots fired at point-blank range and at a large target.
When Enrico Capozzi arrived at the nearby Mare i hospital doctors they did everything to save him from death but his heart stopped in a short time. the police have been combing the area since yesterday evening looking for useful images from the few cameras present but also for clues useful for the investigation.
They are going through the chats and messages on his phone to understand if someone threatened him and some family members have been interviewed for summary information. The murder seems clear to be a revenge for his complaint but other leads are not being left out such as a signal to the Sarno clan, who in recent times had returned to prominence in the Ponticelli area taking advantage of the raids of the past few months that hit all the Camorra clans present.
A fact that tragically brings attention to the pervasiveness of organized crime in this neighborhood of Naples. This latest episode of violence underlines the need for a collective effort to combat organized crime that continues to bloody our neighborhoods”.
Libera's concern: "Ponticelli cannot be held hostage by the Camorra"
And the note then reads: “Ponticelli has long been the scene of conflicts between clans for control of the territory, which translate into shootings, murders and acts of intimidation, imposing a climate of fear on the local community. This community cannot be held hostage by Camorra violence.
