Lformer boss Marco Raduano is ready to barge into the murder trial of Antonio Fabbianoone of his old soldiers killed in Vieste during the feud against the Iannoli-Perna clan.
There is at the bar Giovanni Iannoli known as “Smigol”, a 37-year-old from Vieste, accused of killing Fabbiano on 25 April 2018 when the victim was only 25 years old. That day he instead escaped death Michele Notarangelo, known as “Cristoforo” or “The Psychopath”, also from the Raduano group. Notarangelo was in the victim’s company but managed to escape to his house, remaining unharmed. The investigators acquired the testimonies of some passers-by who reported two people on board a scooter wearing dark clothes.
Raduano alias “Pallone”, at the time the protagonist of an atrocious conflict with the rival boss, could probably shed light on the matter Girolamo Perna known as “Peppa Pig”, killed on 26 April 2019. Raduano himself suffered an attack on 21 March 2018 and was slightly injured.
For a few weeks, however, the 40-year-old former clan leader has been collaborating with the justice system and his statements are already appearing in major criminal proceedings against the Gargano mafia.
Della Malva’s truths and the Notarangelo murder
Fabbiano had already thought about talking about the murder Danilo Della Malva known as “U’ Meticcio”, once the right-hand man of “Pallone”, who later repented. Della Malva claimed to have learned from Michele Notarangelo that the authors of the armed assault were Giovanni Iannoli and Gianmarco Pecorelli known as “Panino”, the latter killed in an ambush in June 2018. We will see if his reconstruction will be confirmed by his former boss.
Meanwhile, just a few weeks ago, for the murder of 6 April 2018 of Giambattista Notarangelo Marco Raduano, Michele Notarangelo and others were arrested Michele Lapacciana called “the Sailor”. House arrest for the repentant Danilo Della Malva and Orazio Coda called “Balboa”. According to the accusatory structure reconstructed in the 74-page order of the investigating judge Cafagna“Pallone” would have been the instigator while among the material executors there would also have been Antonio Fabbiano himself.
The suspects, excluding Lapacciana, would have acted in collaboration with the deceased Fabbiano “with premeditation and for base reasons”. In short, it would have been about a retaliation: Notarangelo had annoyed the drug dealers of the group by taking away their drugs and speaking badly of Raduano, whose criminal supremacy he did not recognize. But that’s not all, the victim, again according to the suspects’ belief, would have thwarted the romantic relationship undertaken by Della Malva with a woman previously married to Notarangelo’s brother-in-law. The elimination of the latter would have been sanctioned, finally, to obtain “undisputed criminal control over the territory”.
Today, however, only the collaborators of justice dominate and could soon provide new revelations on the mafia dynamics of the Gargano. Raduano will be heard via video conference from a protected location at the end of May.
