will collaborate with justice –

Sandokan regretted it. After 26 years in prison, many of which in 4 bis, Francesco Schiavone, the head of the Casalesi clan, has finally decided to collaborate with justice. The protection program will be offered to his relatives, explains Cronache di Caserta. Sandokan’s collaboration with justice would in all respects represent the end of an era, and the beginning of a season in which we might finally begin to shed light on decades of blood and unsolved cases, starting with those of Mario Ardellino , the mafia leader killed in Brazil in circumstances that have never been clarified. The news, recalls Cronache di Caserta, arrives among other things on the thirtieth anniversary of the killing of Don Peppe Diana, in Casal di Principe, also the scene of the rise of Sandokan, at the hands of the Casalesi themselves. From a young age, Schiavone was involved in the criminal activities of the Camorra, quickly climbing the hierarchies of power within the Casalesi clan. As the years passed, he consolidated his position through a mix of cunning, brutality and a ruthless determination to maintain control.

Schiavone’s name has become synonymous with a wide range of crimes, including large-scale drug trafficking, extortion, murder, and illicit waste trafficking. His influence extended through an intricate network of affiliates and accomplices, allowing him to exercise almost absolute control over vast territories of Campania. He was among the defendants in the Spartacus trial once morest members of the Camorra clan of the Casalesi clan, which saw over 115 people put on trial. For Mariano Di Palma, contact person for Libera! For Campania, the news of the repentance «is a positive signal in the fight once morest organized crime, not only in Caserta, but throughout the country. The Casalesi clan, it should be remembered, had clear political and business ties in various territories. A metastasis which, thanks to the work of the police, was arrested. My hope is that this repentance will be useful in shedding light on those connections, as well as on the many crimes of which the Casalesi clan has been guilty over the years.”
