Oct 30 – Italian prosecutors release the closed-circuit video of a mafia-style murder, hoping it will break a wall of silence over the identity of the killer.
In the video, a man on the left is seen smoking a cigarette outside a bar in central Naples. He’s Mariano Bacio Tarracino, a 53-year old with a mafia criminal record. The killer, wearing a green jacket and a baseball cap arrives and enters the bar. After a short time he exits and shoots the smoking man and as he falls, shoots him again in the back of the head.
There were at least six people in the vicinity at the time and none of the bystanders moved to intervene.
The video was released by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Naples.
The city is home to the Camorra crime syndicate and residents face almost daily violence on the streets.
