Afendi murder in Casarano
CASARANO – Three Kalashnikov shots fired at close range by the hitmen, who arrived in a car with tinted windows and went into action quickly, firing the powerful weapon from the window.
This is how Antonio Amin Afendi, a 33-year-old who escaped another fire ambush in 2019, was shot dead this Saturday morning in the center of Casarano.
It was just after 11am in the central Via Lupo when the explosion of shots, at least three it was said, alarmed residents and passers-by. For Afendi, who at that moment was on the street near a bar, there was nothing that could be done: he was shot at chest level and died instantly.
The Carabinieri, the forensic team, the Prosecutor Cannarile, the Prosecutor of the DDA Cataldi and the medical examiner immediately arrived on site.
The ambush aimed at Afendi for the second time and in perfect mafia style seems to leave no room for doubt: he must be included in the dynamics of the underworld and in the bloody fight for hegemony between the clans of the hinterland.
In 2019, investigators defined Afendi as "the rising star of the Potenza Clan". After the death of the boss Augustino Potenza and the ambush that knocked out his right-hand man Luigi Spennato, Afendi should have led the association.

he's half Moroccan i think on the father side, i wonder if he was really made into the SCU

After hours of interrogation, the murderer of Antonio Amin Afendi, killed with three Kalashnikov shots on Saturday morning in the center of Casarano, confessed. The author, Lucio Sarcinella, a 27-year-old local, will have to answer for voluntary homicide aggravated by premeditation and futile motives. “I lost my mind and killed him,” the man told prosecutors. At the basis of the gesture were the threats that, according to Sarcinella, Afendi addressed to his family.
Prosecutors are also evaluating the aggravating circumstances of facilitating the mafia clan. Sarcinella is in fact close to the Damiano Autunno clan, a direct rival of the Agostino Potenza clan, killed in 2016, to which Afendi belonged.
In the meantime, investigations continue and prosecutors have also interviewed the driver of the car who, however, appears not to have physically participated in the murder.
