There are even those who filmed Giuseppe’s entrance into the police station, to be arrested as responsible (along with his accomplice) for injuring a 10-year-old girl. A video posted about the inevitable Tik Tok, with countless phrases of encouragement, between “My life” and a broken heart. At the center of it all, Giuseppe G., 17, accused of being responsible for the shooting outside an ice cream parlor in Sant’Anastasia, along with his 19-year-old accomplice. emmanuel civita, who instead wielded a war submachine gun. Two stories, those of Giuseppe and Emanuele, dramatically similar. Parallel. Children of subjects in the smell of the Camorra, born and raised in a time marked by feuds, murders, arrests, raids, revenge.
This morning for them, the validation of the arrests. They will have to respond for attempted murder and weapons, they will be able to respond to what emerges from the images of a surveillance camera, but also from the accounts of some witnesses. Their lives will be screened, as happened with Francesco Pio Valda, the alleged murderer of a pizza man (shot by chance) during a fight in the Chalet Mergellina. In them, the narrative seems one-sided, almost as if they were predestined. Born killer, to quote a battered movie title, born to kill.
let’s try to move Somma Vesuviana cornflower park, a kind of natural outdoor laboratory. Here in Somma, they call it the park of the Neapolitans, to indicate the arrival, in the years after the earthquake, of refugees from the eastern suburbs.
What is life like in these parks that surround the metropolitan interior? From here, many move north on Thursday nights: they are thieves specialized in theft of bank transfers, theft of valuable watches, and scams on the elderly. They return on Sunday night, in a criminal transhumance that lasts decades. The position of the parents of the two suspects for the setting of Santa Anastasia is different. Let’s try to stop at the case of the 17-year-old, defended by the Neapolitan criminal lawyer. antonio sorbillo. In 2014, his father was murdered. A single shot in the back, while he was riding a motorcycle. The reason? He had set up a fireworks display in his park, without paying the bribe to the reference clan.
A cowardice was etched in the mind of a child left in orbit in a territory controlled by the D’Avino clan. The same story for Emanuele. The father is 45 years old and always considers himself affiliated with the D’Avinos. Prosecutors will have to answer the main question: where did he get the machine gun? When did you decide to burst fire? Who gave it? Was it possible that it was so easy to find a weapon of war for a 19-year-old boy? defended by lawyer Fabio MarfellaSo far he has not responded to the questions, limiting himself to turning himself in to the carabinieri.
His silhouette is the center of a video, which frames him during an armed raid, when he would have tried to prevail against another group of boys from Saint Anastasia. Yes, because in the gomorrah of 2023 there is a step forward compared to what happened at the beginning of the century. Today, the heirs of that bloody era are not only fighting for drug trafficking plazas and reception channels for stolen goods. No, because what a judge in Naples called “neutral zones” is at stake, almost always linked to nightlife. It is the last frontier, a kind of abyss.
Once upon a time there were fights in the shade of Scampia’s sails or among the great suburban thoroughfares. They killed each other to tear up pieces of degraded areas, which most Neapolitan citizens had never seen once in their lives. Today is different. Wars between paranzes are wars of position. But what is at stake is Naples waterfront; our historic center; the relaxation areas, dedicated to the joy of entire families. Here they appear on their motorcycles a stone’s throw from the town square, here are Giuseppe and Emanuele firing bursts as if to express a concept: twenty years ago we were marked by blood; today we want to be there to count for something, we are victims and perpetrators of innocent blood.
