Castellammare di Stabia – On the morning of April 14, 2025, the Carabinieri of the Castellammare di Stabia Company executed a custodial detention order issued by the GIP of the Court of Torre Annunziata and a community placement measure for a minor, at the request of the respective Public Prosecutors.
The measures concern four individuals – three adults (residents of Lettere, Gragnano and Boscoreale) and a minor – considered to be seriously suspected, to varying degrees, of the crimes of attempted murder, robbery, serious personal injury and illegal possession of weapons.
The investigations, conducted by the Carabinieri di Lettere Station and coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Torre Annunziata, have shed light on an attack that took place on January 28 in Santa Maria la Carità.
On that occasion, one of those arrested, originally from Lettere, had gone to the San Leonardo hospital in Castellammare with serious injuries, falsely claiming to have been involved in a road accident.
Through the analysis of video surveillance footage, telephone records, GPS systems and wiretapping activities, it emerged that the young man had been brutally attacked with a baseball bat by the three accomplices arrested today.
During the assault, he allegedly attempted to defend himself using a semi-automatic pistol, which jammed. The weapon was later stolen by the attackers.
During the execution of the precautionary measures, one of the adult suspects was caught in possession of a pistol with a scratched serial number and also arrested for illegal possession of a clandestine firearm.
The three adults were transferred to the Naples Poggioreale prison, while the minor was placed in a community outside the region.

The subject of the article is very serious and the facts reported are worrying. I hope that the authorities will act severely against those who commit such violent acts, but we must also consider the social causes that lead to such behavior.
