The wall of silence behind which he had entrenched himself for 26 years has collapsed. The Casalesi clan leader Francesco Schiavone, known as Sandokan, repents and speaks to the DDA magistrates.
This is reported in today’s edition of Chronicles of Caserta, which anticipates some details of the beginning of the collaboration with the justice of the head of the heads of the Casalese gang. A piece of news that had been talked about for a few days in the village but which would only have become official yesterday when the police went to the home of the superboss’s family to propose the protection program.
Sandokan, arrested in 1998 and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Spartacus maxi trial and for several murders, was in prison. In 2018 the eldest son Nicola, who had taken over the reins of the clan, was the first of the Schiavone family to collaborate with justice. A choice that was followed by his brother Walter in 2021. Now his father Francesco, the founder of the Casalesi clan, begins to reveal to the magistrates the secrets of the clan that had remained buried under a curtain of silence for almost 30 years.
