Castel Volturno – A heavy shadow hangs over the municipality of Castel Volturno: Mayor Pasquale Marrandino is officially under investigation for corruption by the Santa Maria Capua Vetere Public Prosecutor's Office.
According to the indictment, the mayor allegedly pocketed sums of money, including a €500 bribe, from a local professional in exchange for high-paying public positions. This buying and selling of favors, if confirmed, would profoundly shake local politics.
The investigation, coordinated by Prosecutor Pierpaolo Bruni and Deputy Prosecutors Giacomo Urbano and Anna Ida Capone, led the Carabinieri to carry out searches both at the home of Mayor Marrandino and that of the professional involved, Daniele Di Caprio, who is also under investigation.
The operation was triggered by allegations from the Prosecutor's Office alleging a system of illicit favors. Law enforcement and the judiciary believe the seized funds were a form of compensation to secure DiCaprio's access to high-profile and well-paid positions within the municipal administration.
The investigation is in its preliminary phase, and the full scope of the charges is awaited as the investigation unfolds. The news, released this morning, December 9, 2025, immediately triggered a chain reaction in the Campania political landscape.
