Casal di Principe (Caserta) and Scafati (Salerno) have been the scene of thefts of property confiscated from organized crime, incidents that have sparked outrage and concern.
In Casal di Principe, unknown individuals broke into a property confiscated from the sister of Casalesi boss Giuseppe Setola, stealing copper cables and pieces of metal. The building, entrusted to the local Pro Loco for the construction of its headquarters as part of a redevelopment project, is now at the center of the Carabinieri investigations. Investigators do not rule out a possible Camorra origin, although current evidence suggests an act of common crime, given the resale value of the stolen materials.
A similar episode occurred in Scafati, where the Nicola Nappo Agricultural Fund, a property confiscated from the Galasso clan and dedicated to social agriculture projects, was targeted. Thieves stole the taps of the fountains installed in the cultivated areas, causing significant damage to the management of the fund.
Father Antonio Palmese, president of the Campania Region's Pol.is Foundation, strongly condemned the incidents: "We express our utmost solidarity and deepest sympathy to the workers of the Pro Loco of Casal di Principe and the Fondo Agricolo Nicola Nappo of Scafati for the thefts and damages they suffered. Stealing property seized from clans and returned to the community is a vile act, committed against society as a whole. Those who work in these places are restituting assets to their rightful owners: every Italian citizen. Their action is a bastion of legality in our region."
Palmese also assured that there will be no shortage of concrete interventions to support these realities, defined as "witnesses of possible and achieved change". These acts of vandalism, more than hitting individual projects, threaten the path of redemption and legality that assets like these represent for the entire community.
