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.

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. https://internapoli.it/lex-boss-aug...ta-intellettuale-di-dire-solo-la-verita/

APRIL 18, 2024 1.04PM 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. By Valerio Papadia 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. continua su: https://www.fanpage.it/napoli/giova...o-nel-fiume-volturno-disposta-lautopsia/https://www.fanpage.it/
