SAN CIPRIANO D'AVERSA – The Supervisory Magistrate of Avellino, accepting the request of the Lawyer Vittorio Fucci, has released from prison Massimo Venosa, 47 years old from San Cipriano D'Aversa, a leading member of the Casalesi Clan, in particular of the Schiavone-Venosa group.

Held in the Benevento prison, after having been held in the Sulmona prison and then released in 2022, he was originally arrested on February 24, 2020 following a definitive sentence of 10 years in prison for mafia-style criminal association, drug trafficking aggravated by mafia methods, extortion and racketeering.

The maxi-blitz in which Massimo Venosa was involved also led to the arrest of Walter Schiavone, son of the boss Francesco Schiavone Sandokan

Already released from prison by the Surveillance Court of L'Aquila due to the incompatibility of his state of health with prison. Subsequently, the Surveillance Court of Naples, in its review, had deemed the incompatibility not to exist, ordering his arrest again.

Subsequently, the Supreme Court of Cassation, accepting the appeal of the lawyer Vittorio Fucci, annulled the order of the Surveillance Court of Naples which rejected the request for Venosa's release from prison for serious health reasons.
