Today, the Carabinieri of the Caserta Company executed a coercive measure order issued by the Court of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, at the request of this Prosecutor’s Office, against a person residing in Afragola. The crime in question concerns the armed robbery perpetrated by three individuals on the evening of 09.20.2023 against a tobacconist located in Caserta.
The precautionary custody order is the epilogue of a complex investigative activity started immediately following the events, coordinated by this Public Prosecutor’s Office and conducted by the Carabinieri of the Caserta Company, both with telephone interception activities and with targeted observation and shadowing services, thanks to which valuable information was acquired which, also thanks to the information coordination between the various commands of the Carabinieri present in a widespread manner throughout the territory, made it possible to trace the identity of one of the perpetrators.
The investigations, in particular, allowed us to reconstruct the exact dynamics of the crime. In particular, one of the two individuals was responsible for finding the weapons and the vehicle used for the robbery, registered in the name of a front man, while the others materially contributed to the commission of the crime.
Today’s operation represents yet another result achieved by this Prosecutor’s Office and the Carabinieri in combating the phenomenon of predatory crimes.
It should be noted that the proceedings are in the preliminary investigation phase, that the person under investigation is to be considered innocent until a final sentence is reached and that the precautionary measure was adopted without the adversarial process which will take place before the third-party judge who may also assess the absence of any form of responsibility on his part.
