Naples - The murder of the Pianura boss, Pasquale D'Anna yesterday morning in Piazzale Tecchio in Fuorigrotta took place under the eyes of the cameras.

The investigators of the Naples mobile squad, who conduct the images under the coordination of the Dda, already have the license plate number on which the lone killer was traveling. It will certainly be a stolen motorcycle. But the investigative roads and the Camorra scenario in which the ambush matured all lead to Pianura.

The dynamics of the ambush

The murder occurred around 6:40 in the morning, in front of the “Bellone” bar in Piazzale Tecchio, a well-known meeting point for young people in the nightlife. D'Anna was in the driver's seat of her car, in the company of Massimo Aragiusto, 40 years old.

The lone killer approached very close and opened fire with a 9mm pistol. D'Anna, shot in the chest and head, attempted a desperate escape by starting the vehicle, but collided with some scooters parked along the road.

Aragiusto, hit by several bullets, was seriously injured and is currently hospitalized at the San Paolo hospital, where he underwent surgery and was declared out of danger of life. The killer, riding his motorbike, managed to escape and disappear.

The investigation into the ambush

The Carabinieri immediately intervened on the scene of the murder for the first surveys. The investigation file was entrusted to the State Police, with the Flying Squad directed by Giovanni Leuci in charge of the investigations.

Investigators are examining D'Anna's last hours, favoring the hypothesis of an ambush linked to the feud between the veterans of the Carillo-Perfetto clan and the new recruits of the Santagata group who inherited the drug dealing areas of the Calone-Esposito-Marsicano group, to which he was linked. Pasquale D'Anna, and who are competing for control of drug trafficking in Pianura.

According to some recent reports, D'Anna and his father ran a drug dealing center in the neighborhood, paying monthly fees to the clan that dominated the area. It is not excluded, however, that D'Anna may have attempted to climb to the top of the local mafia organization, taking advantage of the power vacuums created after the arrests of the bosses.

He had been sentenced to two years and eight months in prison in the first instance

D'Anna was also known to the Naples District Anti-Mafia Directorate, which arrested him in 2022 as part of an investigation into drug trafficking run by local clans; he was subsequently released from prison by the Review Court. In October 2023, he was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison in the first instance.

The situation in Pianura, already known for its high level of danger, has become even more unstable after the bloody murder of Gennaro Ramondino killed in August 2024 by his own friends. And then set on fire and buried in a land on the border with Marano.

Shootings, ambushes, murders and intimidating raids are the order of the day. The new bosses do not hesitate to use the most brutal violence to impose their dominion over the territory. In addition to controlling the drug dealing areas, the young criminals aim to extort money from the traders and impose protection money on those who manage drug trafficking.

The Secondigliano Alliance is trying to infiltrate the criminal fabric of Pianura, adding a further element of instability. Old alliances between rival groups could be overturned by new entries and new cartels.

Pasquale D'Anna, a destiny marked by violence

It wasn't the first time that Pasquale D'Anna found himself in the crosshairs. In the summer of 2020, the alleged capopiazza of via Torricelli was the victim of an ambush whose contours are still unclear today. On the night of August 7, while he was in the company of Davide De Luca - a figure known to the police for his ties to the criminal circles of the "44" of the Traiano district - a commando of hitmen went into action inside the Galleria Laziale.

Both were injured, but managed to survive without serious consequences. Their version of events? An attempted Rolex robbery that ended in blood. A story that, from the very beginning, raised many doubts among investigators.

Investigators hypothesized that behind the raid there was a settling of scores related to drug trafficking, the same lead that could now explain the crime that took place yesterday morning in Piazzale Tecchio. A murder that, according to initial reconstructions, could represent the umpteenth chapter in an ongoing feud.
