Antonio Accorinti, 43 years old, alleged exponent of the Briatico gang of the same name, in the Vibonese area, and son of Nino, leader of the same criminal group, has repented by joining the ranks of justice collaborators.
Accorinti's collaboration was learned today during the hearing of the "Imponimento" trial which is taking place in the bunker courtroom in Lamezia Terme.

This was made known by Catanzaro DDA magistrate Antonio De Bernardo, who represents the public prosecution in the trial.

The prosecutor filed the documents relating to the first statements as a collaborator of Antonio Accorinti together with those of Onofrio Barbieri, former exponent of the Bonavota di Sant'Onofrio gang, who also recently became a collaborator of justice.
The new repentant has a very respectable criminal "curriculum". According to what emerged from the DDA investigations, Accorinti occupied a top position in the gang headed by his father. He was also sentenced to 12 years of imprisonment, with a first degree sentence, in the trial called "Costa Clean" and was involved in the "Olimpo" investigation. In both cases the crime he was accused of was mafia-type criminal association.
With Antonio Accorinti's repentance, the number of mafia members from the Vibo area who have become collaborators with justice over the last year rises to five.
