Ischia, the boss's nephew's illegal vacation: his attackers are running out of time.

Naples – The hours are now numbered for the members of the gang responsible for the shooting of 21-year-old Mario Savio last night at an outdoor club in Casamicciola Terme. Carabinieri officers from the local unit are combing through video surveillance footage and gathering various testimonies to reconstruct the 20-year-old's journey: from his entry into the nightclub to the moment he, bloodied, took a taxi to the hospital.

The shadow of the Spanish Quarters and the crux of the motive

Investigators are focusing their investigation on the injured man: the namesake and nephew of the boss known as 'o bellillo, a prominent figure in the feud that bloodied the Spanish Quarter in the 1990s. Investigators are trying to determine whether the stabbing was the result of a trivial argument that erupted on the spot or whether it was an extension of the ongoing feud between juvenile gangs in Naples for control of illicit drug trafficking in the nightlife district.

The young man, who arrived at the emergency room at 3:30 a.m. before undergoing surgery, did not provide any details that would clarify whether he was alone or in company.

The measures will also be toughened for the injured person.

In addition to the stab wounds he sustained, and he is currently hospitalized at Rizzoli Hospital in Lacco Ameno, where he is not in critical condition, the twenty-year-old is now facing new legal problems. Burdened with numerous criminal records, Savio was placed on probation with the obligation to return to his home in Vicoletto San Carlo alle Mortelle by 10:00 PM.

A measure clearly violated, given that he had booked a hotel on Ischia for his vacation; the military will shortly send an initial report to the Prosecutor's Office for a decision by the magistrates. AVS MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli also spoke out on the incident, calling for drastically increased controls and resources to prevent the island from becoming a no-man's land during summer nights.
