Some statements of former Casalesi boss Iovine are online now.

It is a story rooted in the Casalesi clan of the 80s that told by Antonio Iovine, inserted in the ordinance that led to the arrest, among others, of Pino Cantone and to investigate Ivanhoe Schiavone.

According to the collaborator of justice, relations already existed between Maurizio Capoluongo and Antonio Bardellino. The former also participated in the murder of Ciro Nuvoletta and took part in the meetings of the Bardellino clan, also held with Carmine Alfieri, historic boss of the Nola. It seems that behind the murder of De Ciccio, always according to Antonio Iovine, there was Maurizio Capoluongo, who " told me that he had solicited the fire group stationed at Armando seven barrels, relative of the wife of Dario De Simone, just the day the murder was carried out . "

According to Iovine, the real target of the clan was Luciano De Cicco, called Polifemo, but " only by chance was Carmine De Ciccio eliminated ". The Capoluongo initially dealt with agriculture, so much so that Maurizio Capoluongo in 1989 had moved to the lower Lazio with his brother Giacomo. Then, after the Spartacus ordinance, they sold the properties and returned to Caserta. Giacomo moved to San Cipriano. Since then, relations with Michele Zagaria began: "I met Michele Zagaria at Giacomo Capoluongo's home on several occasions, " explains Iovine.

Much has been written about Giuseppe Iovine, brother of Antonio Iovine. At a time when the Casalesi clan was all in San Cipriano and in the neighboring municipalities, at a time when the public, administrative function, that is, the municipalities were completely at the service of the bosses, it also happened that the brother of one of the leaders of the clan of the Casalesi, became an urban policeman.

Giuseppe Iovine, as it is known, but as if it is still incredible to remember, he wore the uniform of a servant of the state while his brother plotted murders and managed the criminal activities of the Camorra.

Then Giuseppe Iovine assumed the role of protagonist in the aftermath of the arrest of his relative, which occurred in November 2010. He tried to replace him; organized an extortion network, but was arrested in 2012. In short, a well-known character. But from the Camorra tales, especially when these are made by first-rate repentant, what was and what is still today, just Antonio Iovine, surprises emerge: Giuseppe Iovine, we do not know if when he was still vigilant or not, he had constituted a criminal activity aimed at managing the proceeds of black toto in the city of Aversa and in the countryside, evidently still in vogue despite the advent of legalized sports betting.

Toto nero is a word that evokes great events in the national news, starting from that of 1980 when top footballers, such as Bruno Giordano, Manfredonia and others, were even arrested, by police and carabinieri who entered, on a famous Sunday afternoon, in changing room area of ​​many Italian stadiums to carry out the measures signed by the magistrates.

A well-known story, which led to a series of sensational disqualifications, including the two-year one of a perhaps not guilty Paolo Rossi, who returned to the field two months before the 1982 World Cup that would have helped Italy win with the historic sequence of only goals that guaranteed him the title of top scorer and, for that year, also the golden ball.

That's why if we read the word toto nero in an ordinance, it stimulates us. His name was Ciro " Fellarust" and he was the one with whom Giuseppe Iovine, according to the story of Antonio Iovine, had joined to manage the black toto from the headquarters located in the city of Aversa.

Michele Zagaria pretended to support the initiative, however imposing the payment of a percentage share to the clan. In reality, if it were only up to him, that Ciro " Fellarust" would have killed him. This he said to Antonio Iovine, to whom he said to speak immediately with his brother Giuseppe to get out of that affair. This happened. Antonio Iovine asked Michele Zagaria to guarantee his brother Giuseppe Iovine a kind of small compensation. The concept of small figures, in the golden age of the Casalesi clan, was very relative.

In fact, Michele Zagaria paid 100 thousand euros more tranches to Giuseppe Iovine, who took off from that tour.
