A judge in Salerno has granted house arrest outside Campania to three defendants in an alleged drug-supply case connecting the Serinese area with the Nocera and Scafati area.
The three defendants are Giulio De Feo, Dario Pisacreta and Raffaele Taddio. The decision was attributed to Giandomenico D'Agostino, judge for preliminary hearings at the Tribunal of Salerno.
The defence also obtained acceptance of a territorial-jurisdiction objection in favour of the Tribunal of Naples. The Salerno prosecution may challenge the transfer of territorial jurisdiction to Naples. The full text of the order was not reported, and the final procedural outcome after any possible challenge was not clarified in the available reports.
All allegations remain subject to judicial determination. The sources do not establish final convictions.
The alleged network
The investigation concerns an alleged drug-supply network linking the Serinese area with the Nocera and Scafati area.
Investigators and prosecutors allege that the network was directed by Mario D'Angelo. The alleged network operated across the provinces of Avellino, Salerno and Naples, with reported links to the Fezza-De Vivo clan of Pagani.
The alleged substances included cocaine, hashish and methamphetamine.
The wider proceedings
The related proceedings involved twelve defendants. Eleven were reported to have requested an abbreviated trial.
Reporting on the case has developed in stages, and the available sources differ in procedural framing and chronology because they describe developments at different points in the investigation and proceedings.
What to watch next
Two points remain open in the reporting: whether the transfer of territorial jurisdiction to Naples will stand, and how the proceedings involving the twelve defendants will advance.
The alleged Serinese-Agro Nocerino network, the reported role attributed to Mario D'Angelo, and the reported link to the Fezza-De Vivo clan remain allegations to be tested in court.
