When the Carabinieri, along with a NAS patrol, arrived at his restaurant “Le tre Caravelle” on the Castellammare seafront on the morning of November 30, 2023, he thought it was a routine inspection.

Instead for Luciano Verdoliva at the time he was 46 years old, and the son of the deceased boss of the D'Alessandro clan, Giuseppe Verdoliva, known as Peppe the driver because he was the historic driver of the deceased godfather Michele D'Alessandro, was arrested on a very serious charge.

He was believed to be one of the killers of someone who had betrayed the D'Alessandros: Carmine Paolino, nicknamed “Badalamenti”, murdered on March 2005, 28, when he was XNUMX years old and in the midst of the feud with former Cutoli supporters Massimo Scarpa and Michele Omobono.

In that feud there were two excellent murders: Giuseppe Verdoliva, father of Luciano and Antonio Martone, brother-in-law of the deceased godfather Michele D'Alessandro as he was the brother of Donna Teresa.

Today, 15 months later, Luciano Verdoliva was acquitted. While Antonio Occidente, 51, linked to the D'Alessandro clan, was sentenced. During the trial, the "repentant" Ciro Sovereto did not confirm the statements made during the investigation and now the Naples Prosecutor's Office is now evaluating the request to revoke the benefits reserved for collaborators of justice.

Paolino was lured into a trap by hitmen who offered him doses of cocaine: while he was busy consuming them, in a car, he was shot in the head with a couple of pistol shots.
