Article Key Points
She, who is 47 years old, is the only woman of the 15 people who ended up in prison this morning in the blitz. She runs a thriving drug dealing square in via Sambuco on behalf of her husband Nunzio Nasto, known as “penna bianca” (white feather), and her father Pasquale Guarino, known as “pagnotta” (bread loaf), both already in prison for other crimes.
From the investigations carried out by the Carabinieri under the coordination of the Torre Annunziata Public Prosecutor's Office, it emerges that he purchased significant quantities of narcotic substances (cocaine) to sell to his customers.
The military intercepted and filmed with hidden cameras the flow of customers and the drug dealing episodes in which the woman was the protagonist. In the investigation, 63 people are under investigation, including a priest accused of forgery because he allegedly helped one of the suspects, who was on probation at the parish where the priest works.
The priest is not involved in drug dealing at all. The judge decided not to issue any precautionary measure against the priest: the prosecutor had requested a ban on residence in the province of Naples.
Also among those under investigation Ciro Gargiulo said the blond notorious drug lord from the Lattari Mountains killed in an ambush in Lettere in February last year. And then the well-known tiktoker Papusciello who was subjected to an obligation to report to the pg.
