It took place at the Court of Napoli, before the preliminary hearing judge (GUP) Dr. De Chiara, the hearing against 36 defendants accused of criminal association for the purpose of drug trafficking.
At the center of the investigation is the De Matteo family, nicknamed "I Sett," with operations rooted in the Caudina and Suessola Valleys.
At today's hearing, the positions of 32 of the 36 defendants were discussed, while two opted for the abbreviated trial, which will be the subject of a subsequent hearing.
