Vincenzo Sarno, currently a collaborator of justice, is the person to whom the Naples Flying Squad notified the arrest warrant for the Tubelli murder in 1996.
Sarno was recently caught walking around armed in the Ponticelli neighborhood of the Neapolitan city. According to some informants, he was trying to recover money entrusted to him before starting to collaborate with justice.
He was also active on social media and this morning in the province of Massa Carrara, the Naples Mobile Squad, with the assistance of the Central Protection Service, executed an arrest warrant issued by the Public Prosecutor, issued by the Neapolitan District Anti-Mafia Directorate, against him.
Together with the brothers at the head of the
Sarno clan, who operated in Ponticelli in the eastern area of Naples from the early 90s until 2010, Vincenzo Sarno is said to have been the instigator and material executor of the murder of Gerardo Tubelli, which took place in Cercola on 5 January 1996. The investigations have reconstructed the dynamics and responsibilities relating to the murder, providing objective evidence to the statements made in this regard by numerous collaborators of Justice, including the self-incriminating ones made by the recipient of the provision himself.
The victim of the murder, at the time of the events a member of the criminal group active in the municipality of Cercola, was surprised near his home by a fire commando, led by the person who had been arrested, and killed with numerous gunshots.
The current dangerousness of Vincenzo Sarno emerged, among other things, from a very recent road check carried out on him in the Naples area, following which he was reported at large for the illegal possession of a gun.
