Behind the Casavatore greengrocer's arsenal: the shadow of the Secondigliano clans.

Casavatore – Vincenzo I., a greengrocer with no criminal record and above suspicion, was a resident of the Acacia park in Casavatore and was found in possession of an arsenal and two kilograms of drugs during a search by the Guardia di Finanza.

Ballistic analysis and connections with neighborhood clans

The Guardia di Finanza has sent the three recovered pistols to ballistics experts, who will determine whether they were used in recent crimes. The investigation is now focused on his role, associations, and connections, and on determining who was responsible for storing the weapons and drugs.

The fact that he worked as a fruit and vegetable vendor at the Secondigliano market pointed the investigation toward the neighborhood's clans, where, unfortunately, the diverse criminal world has been experiencing daily turmoil for several months.

From the commercial audit to the findings in Casavatore

The operation, coordinated by the Frattamaggiore Group, began inside a fruit and vegetable shop in Naples. During initial investigations, the financial police discovered that the man, who had previously had no criminal record, was storing approximately 15 grams of marijuana in his shop. This discovery immediately prompted investigators to investigate further.

The police's suspicions were immediately confirmed by a search of a garage located in the municipality of Casavatore, which was found to be fully owned by the dealer. Inside the premises, approximately two kilograms of hashish were found and seized, along with scales and various packaging materials.

The dark spots: the ready-to-use material and the network of principals

The investigation was further expanded to the suspect's home and a second garage belonging to him. It was in these areas that the most alarming element emerged: three clandestine pistols with their serial numbers removed, each complete with loaded magazines and ammunition, ready for use.
