(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 7 - A Carabiniere and a retired
Carabiniere, a Camorra boss's son turned informant and a
businessmen were arrested Thursday in the 2010 murder of Angelo
Vassallo, the so-called 'fisherman-mayor' of the seaside village
of Pollica in southern Campania, who had denounced a local drug
trafficking ring allegedly involving cops.
Vassallo, 57, was gunned down outside his home on September 5,
2010, having openly fought organized crime and building
speculators who have marred coasts and countryside all over the
Mezzogiorno.
Among his many battles to protect environmental and
cultural heritage along Italy's lovely Cilento coast, Vassallo
had denounced a drug trafficking ring operating around Pollica
that was found to have been run by a Calabrian 'Ndrangheta mafia
clan from the Cosenza area. (ANSA).
