He uses it to get on the scooter more comfortably, as if it were a support cane. Except the thing pointing at the ground is not a neutral object. To use as a lever, to allow the motorcycle passenger to regain balance, it is not just any tool.. No, the man who climbs into the chair, ready for who knows what mission, takes advantage of the barrel of a machine gun. About a Kalashnikov, an instrument of war that at this time bursts into a market that has skyrocketed due to the new outbreaks of war, in Europe, Palestine and the Middle East. But let’s go back to the scene of the two men on the scooter: it is last September 3, we are on a side street of Via Riviera di Chiaia, one of the most “in” streets of Naples, with its monumental buildings and attractions. stores, when the camera in an apartment building films a scene that lasts a few seconds.
In the center of the video, two men on a scooter. Both are wearing helmets, the headlights are on at night: the driver is ready to leave, while an armed man climbs in behind him. It is he who wields the Kalashnikov, the man who uses the barrel of the machine gun as a lever to climb into the back seat, who will then travel the streets of Chiaia to fulfill his mission. It has not finished. In the video of a few seconds you can see another person. It’s eight twenty in the afternoon and a third man appears. It has nothing to do with the Camorra.
He is an older man, who walks slowly, almost staggering. He probably lives in those places, he certainly finds himself in front of those two armed men: he looks, hesitates and leaves the place. Forced to witness a bad episode, which gives you chills just seeing it from the outside. What is this? Where do those images come from? This is a video filed in the file against a group that emerged in the alleys of Torretta that, between August and September of last year, patrolled a part of the Chiaia neighborhood with attacks and ambushes.. This is the Strazzullo group (with strong support attributable to Secondigliano) that tried to make their way into an area controlled by the Frizzieros. Historical criminal dynamics, one would say ordinary, if it were not for the abnormal use of weapons.
A case that alone is enough to confirm the importance of a phenomenon. There are too many weapons in Naples. Reading the data offered to the media during the inauguration of the judicial year, it is clear that the issue has become an unavoidable priority. Yes, we agree, there are fewer murders, but murders represent a major problem, instilling fear, fueling a sense of insecurity, as well as causing dramatic collateral damage.
This is the case of the 62-year-old pensioner injured on January 17 in Naples. Do you remember? Corso Arnaldo Lucci, between 6:20 p.m. and 6:43 p.m., twenty minutes of fire. A hell. More than eighty shots, at least three rounds, as if it were a carousel of fireworks. An episode that culminated in the wounding of Giuseppe Nicola Moffa, 18, who in turn was considered responsible for having shot at an engaged couple last December (both victims belong to families known to investigators, ed.) . An area, Corso Lucci, on which investigations are being carried out. Thanks to a Mobile raid, five subjects who allegedly belong to Giuseppe Marigliano are in the cell (he is believed to be in charge of a drug trafficking plaza in the area of new houses), but it is clear that the scenario could be decidedly broader. It was not a sudden outbreak of violence, but a reckoning that lasted at least twenty minutes. A young woman explained to Il Mattino: «I saw a murderer, gun in hand, pointing. He was aiming at the height of the man.” There is enough to pressure the prefect of Naples, Michele di Bari, to convene a committee on the weapons issue. The mission of the summit is clear: from Chiaia to the interior of Naples we are in a tinderbox, we need quick intervention.
