Francesco Schiavone inprisoned boss of the Casalesi Clan since 1998 after 26 years at 41 bis understood that with the ergastolo ostativo (whole life sentence) he will die on prison so became a collaborator of justice. He is 70 years old maybe is sick. He said "Roberto Saviano is a clown" and now he flipped.

Francesco 'Sandokan' Schiavone repents: former head of the Casalesi clan
Luca Grossi March 29, 2024
His collaboration could reveal other links between the Camorra, Cosa Nostra and 'Ndrangheta
The start of the collaboration process by Francesco Schiavone , nicknamed 'Sandokan', was confirmed by the National Anti-Mafia Directorate. According to what we understand, the decision was made in recent weeks, during which the DNA and the DDA of Naples, led by the Prosecutor Nicola Gratteri , carried out their work with the utmost discretion.

Schiavone was one of the last diehards of the Casalese Camorra, custodian of important secrets, after 26 years in prison, most spent under the hard prison regime.

In the 1980s, he had become the absolute leader of one of the most economically and militarily powerful criminal organizations in Campania, with interests branched out in many regions, the Casalesi clan, whose genesis began in the early 1970s, when the young Antonio Bardellino , from San Cipriano di Aversa, was affiliated to Cosa Nostra by the group dominant in Sicily at the time headed by Stefano Bontade . Also with him was his lieutenant Mario Iovine .

The Camorra family, we remember, had built a series of power relations also in Calabria with the 'Ndrangheta, as reported by many of the Dia's half-yearly reports. On these 'nodes' the newly repentant could reveal important truths.

'Sandokan''s career began as the driver of the boss Umberto Ammaturo and with an arrest in 1972 when he was just 18 years old, for possession and possession of a firearm, but soon he was one of the protagonists of the Camorra war in the Caserta area, first becoming an affiliate to the group of Antonio Bardellino and Mario Iovine , leader in the Nuova Famiglia fighting with Raffaele Cutolo 's organized Nuova Camorra , and then the leader of the internal feud that leveraged Iovine (whose brother Domenico had been killed on Bardellino's orders) to eliminate the clan leader in Brazil in 1988, immediately taking control of the Casalesi.

That was also the moment of the turning point in the affairs of the clan which chose to also focus on the toxic waste trafficking which poisoned part of the Caserta lands.

Furthermore, with Schiavone, the clan's infiltration into various sectors of the legal economy and politics began. In July 1998 the arrest; since then he has been imprisoned under the 41 bis regime. Two of his sons, Nicola and Walter, also started the same path now undertaken by their father a few years ago.

His revelations could help investigators not only to reconstruct a piece of the history of the Camorra, identifying instigators and perpetrators of murders and ambushes, but also to understand the current structures of the Casalesi. Schiavone had several convictions, including for murder, the most famous of which was life imprisonment at the end of the famous Spartacus trial.

"The news of the repentance of the Casalesi boss Francesco Schiavone is a positive signal in the fight against organized crime, not only in Caserta, but throughout the country. The Casalesi clan, it should be remembered, has had clear political and business ties in several territories. A metastasis which, thanks to the work of the police, has been arrested. My hope is that this repentance will be useful in shedding light on those connections, as well as on the many crimes of which the Casalesi clan is responsible has been stained over the years. The instrument of repentance, when real, is a very important fact, especially for judicial purposes and for combating the Camorra, because it is thanks to those who repent that we can discover facts that otherwise would never have come to light" said the contact person for Libera Campania, Mariano Di Palma .

There is no doubt that Schiavone's choice to repent has a high symbolic value for the message of surrender that it transmits to the young recruits of the clan, profoundly disjointed by the harsh blows inflicted in recent years by the DDA of Naples.

For now the diehards remain the other historic Casalesi leader Francesco Bidognetti , known as "Cicciotto e Mezzanotte", in prison since 1993, and Michele Zagaria , captured on 7 December 2011 after sixteen years on the run.

No suprise Gratteri himself made the deal with him he can be very convincing.

Schiavone's statements are currently under the attention of the chief prosecutor of Naples Nicola Gratteri and were collected by the pool made up of prosecutors Vincenzo Ranieri and Simona Belluccio with the deputy prosecutor Michele Del Prete.
The interrogations are expected to resume this week.

In addition to the institutional figures (like Nicola Cosentino) there is also the presence of the Sicilian mafia.
The former boss had claimed to have been, before being a Camorra member, a mafioso, a "man of honour" linked to Cosa Nostra; this would have an important weight in any revelations on the construction of major works such as post-earthquake reconstruction and high-speed rail.

Schiavone could also say something new about Antonio Bardellino , the 'founder' of the Casalesi, who disappeared into thin air in Brazil in 1988; his body was never found and in Naples there is an open file on the hypothesis that Bardellino actually remained hidden for a long time abroad, between South America and the United States.
The magistrates are working on this point too and expectations are very high.

The former boss Augusto La Torre writes to the newly repentant Schiavone: "Have the courage and intellectual honesty to tell only the truth"

In an unprecedented appeal, Augusto La Torre , the former boss of the Mondragone clan, psychologist and writer, invites Francesco Schiavone , known as “Sandokan”, to tell the truth without filters. In a letter addressed to his lawyer and other recipients, La Torre asks a series of crucial questions about Schiavone's future now that he has decided to collaborate with justice after 26 years of detention and countless trials.
La Torre questions whether Schiavone will reveal crucial details about the Camorra's political entanglements and management, including involvement in murders and other unsolved crimes. Having known Schiavone personally for over forty years, La Torre expresses the hope that he has the courage to tell only the truth without giving in to external pressure.

Giovanni Izzo, former affiliate of the Casalesi clan, found dead in the Volturno river: autopsy ordered
The 58-year-old man disappeared last Saturday: his body was found by firefighters yesterday, Wednesday 17 April, in the Volturno river. Investigations underway to trace the causes of death.

The causes of the death of Giovanni Izzo , 58 years old, whose body was found yesterday, Wednesday 17 April, in the Volturno river, in the area of ??Grazzanise , in the province of Caserta, are still to be clarified . Izzo - believed by investigators to be a former affiliate of the Casalesi clan, who had also been in prison in the past and had paid his debt to justice - had disappeared on the evening of Saturday 13 April: his car, a Fiat Panda, was found not far from the place of discovery, in the Lontro degli Schiavi area .

The car was locked: the death of Giovanni Izzo is being investigated
Precisely on the car in which Izzo left home and arrived at the place where the body was later found, one of the issues on which the investigators are working: the 58-year-old's Panda, in fact, was found closed ; to establish whether the victim parked the car to meet someone or whether the fact that it was locked constitutes merely a coincidence.

The firefighters, with TAS experts and divers, as well as the police took part in the search for Giovanni Izzo; unfortunately, yesterday afternoon, Wednesday 17 April, the body of the 58-year-old was found in the Volturno. Investigators are focusing on the analysis of surveillance cameras in the area, while the Judicial Authority has ordered an autopsy on the 58-year-old's body.

Izzo was indeed linked to the faction of Schiavone. The discovery of the body in the Volturno river thus becomes a mystery to be clarified.

Camorra: Francesco Schiavone repents, but silence and reticence do not convince prosecutors
AMTwo thousand June 22, 2024
Unresolved family issues continue to weigh on the long-awaited collaboration between "Sandokan" and the justice system
Last March, after 26 years in prison, the boss Francesco Schiavone, known as "Sandokan" for his resemblance to the Indian actor Kabir Bedi, decided to collaborate with justice. The news quickly spread around the world. On the other hand, the expectations and expectations are high: the secrets and names that the Casalesi boss could reveal are numerous and of great importance. But the collaboration with justice, which should have marked the end of an era with revelations capable of triggering upheavals, perhaps even in the political and judicial world, has so far proven to be less than fruitful.

Three months after the news of the repentance of the well-known Camorra boss, several silences and reticences have emerged which could suggest that the beginning of collaboration is anything but easy. The news was reported by the newspaper "Domani", which has been following this story for some time. However, there are still three months to complete the 180 days required by law for the collaborator's full confession, even if at the moment the path still seems to be uphill: either the collaboration resumes with momentum or there is a risk of exclusion from the program protection. Meanwhile, the Naples prosecutor's office, led by chief prosecutor Nicola Gratteri, known for his rigorous approach with justice collaborators, maintains great secrecy on the matter.

Conflicts in the Schiavone family
Schiavone's collaboration with the justice system could also be influenced by family events, in particular by the situation of Sandokan's son, Emanuele Libero Schiavone, recently arrested for possession of weapons and for having organized a reprisal for the gunshots shot at his home. A family rift emerged - as reported by "Domani" - thanks to an interception that took place in prison during a conversation between Schiavone and his son Emanuele. “Francesco Schiavone confides to his son that he has started the process of collaboration and invites him to leave Casal di Principe, but receives a sharp refusal from his son who replies rudely: 'You have to make the San Ciprianese laugh, we have to make them laugh. everyone (...) that everything has horns and is horned'. The two argue, the son says one last sentence to him: 'You carry me and your son Ivanhoe (the other unrepentant son, ed.) on your conscience'.”

Sandokan, arrested in 1998, has already in the past expressed the idea of ??collaborating with justice, but the family conflict could continue to weigh on his decisions and his future. The collaboration of the Casalesi boss with the authorities could have significant implications at various levels: sociological, human and judicial. Journalist Rosaria Capacchione also highlighted the importance of this collaboration, which is particularly useful for clarifying the murders of innocent people. However, at least from a judicial point of view, Sandokan's contribution could be limited, since many crimes are now statute-barred.
