The boss Tortora killed by two clans to divide Acerra, 6 arrests in the Neapolitan area
Two criminal groups from the Neapolitan area would have planned the murder of the boss Pasquale Tortora to divide up the Acerra territory; 6 arrests of the carabinieri.

Pasquale Tortora , boss of the homonymous clan of Acerra and Casalnuovo killed in an ambush on May 20, 2020 , was allegedly killed by killers armed by two different criminal groups, who wanted to take control of the town of Naples with that murder. It is the reconstruction of the District Anti-Mafia Directorate, which led to the precautionary custody order for 6 people issued by the investigating judge of Naples and carried out during the night by the Carabinieri of the Castello di Cisterna Investigation Unit between Acerra, Naples and Nuoro; the suspects are accused, for various reasons, of complicity in murder, illegal possession of weapons and receiving stolen goods, with the aggravating circumstance of mafia purposes.
The investigations, carried out by the carabinieri, have documented the existence of two separate Camorra groups, the first based in Afragola and attributable to Cosimo Nicolì , born in 1977, who boasted direct relations with the Sienese family, an emanation of the Moccia clan and decades stationed in Rome; the other group, formed in Acerra, would instead be headed by Bruno Avventurato , class of '75, brother of Giuseppe Avventurato, victim of a Camorra ambush in Acerra on 19 December 2019.
