The narcos of the Di Lauro clan have been captured, betrayed by his cigarette habit
Faslii Qibini was the first wanted person to end up in handcuffs in 2024, yet another person tracked down by the Carabinieri of the Neapolitan Provincial Command who just a few days ago closed the annual balance sheet with 17 prisoners under arrest.
A final sentence of over 22 years in prison hangs over the head of the 64-year-old of Albanian origins, international drug trafficking the crime for which he was wanted.
THE DI LAURO AND NARDIELLI NARCO
The man is considered a broker in cross-border drug trafficking. According to investigators, he managed and mediated heroin trafficking between his country of origin, Greece, Turkey and southern Italy where he did business with the Di Lauro clan and then with the "Nardielli", a criminal group from the Oplontine side . Then a long period of hiding, declared way back in April 2011 when, under house arrest, he escaped and disappeared without a trace. Without ever a misstep, away from the spotlight but not from the memory of the soldiers of the investigative unit of Naples.
WALKING ON CORSO SECONDIGLIANO
They searched for him for over 12 years, until yesterday afternoon, when Qibini was walking in Corso Secondigliano, unaware that he was surrounded. It wasn't a coincidence that cost him the handcuffs but a scrupulous monitoring of the habits of his family.
He was careful to avoid the street and to be seen around, but the evident increase in the volume of family "spending" turned on a light bulb in the minds of the police.
During the holidays, his wife and son did not give up a stop at the tobacconist to buy cigarettes. Too bad they weren't smokers. The "blondes" - the police imagined - were for someone else.
So the military intensified their observations and patrolled the neighborhood with ever greater attention.
Betrayed by his hunger for nicotine, Qibini decided to buy cigarettes on his own. He didn't have time to light one, the police surrounded him and arrested him. He is now confined in Secondigliano prison.
