The military gave their French colleagues specific indications regarding the location of the subject, as part of a detailed investigation coordinated by the magistrates of the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office - District Anti-Mafia Directorate. Ciriello was arrested in Avignon. He is now in prison, awaiting the extradition order. Ciriello worked in his brother's pizzeria.

Vincenzo Ciriello was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The Mazzarella and Montescuro groups who had business aims in the port of Naples were involved in the process.
