E' 35 year old Alfonso Cesarano was killed yesterday afternoon on the outskirts of a family feud that has lasted for years Gragnano.
“My character is a bit like that of a wolf, if I don't get attacked, I don't tear myself to pieces,” he posted on his TikTok profile some time ago.
The man, who was under house arrest with an electronic bracelet but allowed to leave for work, was killed outside his home while returning home. He was riding a scooter, which was then flanked by another scooter with the hitmen aboard.
A planned and executed operation, executed by an expert gunman: five shots, all hitting the target, left him with no chance of escape. The victim had a respectable criminal record. He was Fabio Di Martino's "companion," one of the sons of the boss Leonardo Di Martino o' Lione, one of the most powerful drug lords in the Lattari Mountains.
The investigators are investigating the case, the Carabinieri of the Castellammare company, coordinated by the Dda of Naples, are rereading all the latest criminal episodes of recent years that occurred in the Lattari Mountains.
And yesterday afternoon's victim appears to have been involved in some of them. A series of murders, ambushes, and attacks, one of which even killed the dog of one of the local drug lords. This happened in front of a child.
In December 2023, Alfonso Cesarno miraculously escaped unharmed from an ambush: his car had been hit by a hail of bullets. A few months later, he retaliated by attempting to shoot his neighbors.
Other prominent figures in the criminal world of the Lattari Mountains include the well-known 42-year-old criminal Michele Comentale and his 32-year-old nephew Matteo.
Michele Comentale, with a long criminal record in cannabis cultivation in the Lettere area, was shot in the abdomen. His 35-year-old brother, the third man on board, with no criminal record, was unharmed. The other man, his nephew Matteo, also with no criminal record, was wounded in the arm.
For that episode Alfonso Cesarno was arrested and then placed under house arrest with permission to work in the pasta factory in Gragnano which his father, Tonino, had created after being hit by a car a few years ago, not far from where the murder took place yesterday afternoon.
The investigators seem to have no doubts about the motive, and have questioned the victim's partner at length, have sifted through the messages on her cell phone but above all have looked at the images from the public cameras located right along the possible escape route of the killers who carried out the crime.ambush.

It's sad to see how violence continues to dominate the lives of so many people, especially in certain areas. Even though Alfonso had a difficult life, murder can never be justified. We hope the authorities do their duty to stop this spiral of violence.
