The court of Riesame acquitted Francesco and Giuseppe Mallardo, defendants for the murder of Luigi Maisto. However, the two remain in prison for other crimes. Luigi Maisto was killed October 22, 1979 in Piazza Matteotti in Giugliano. According to investigators, the brutal assassination of Maisto is enshrined in the Camorra feud between the Mallardos and the Maistos.
