The head of the Casalesi Michele Zagaria, currently restricted to 41bis, was acquitted by the court, when according to the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Naples, Zagaria would have continued to manage the clan by giving directives to the outside through messages delivered to family members.

Moreover, for the same facts, some family members of the boss, including Zagaria's sisters and sisters-in-law (wives of the three brothers Antonio, Pasquale and Carmine), were sentenced only for receiving stolen salaries to affiliates and not for criminal association of Camorra mold. The DDA had sifted through years of talks, of spoken and unspoken words, of looks and signals between Zagaria and his sisters, especially Gesualda and Beatrice; but for the college chaired by judge Marina Napolitano, those messages were not directives to be given to the affiliates still on the street.
