The investigations into the Esposito-Marsicano clan began after the kidnapping and subsequent murder of Andrea Covelli . The young man's body was found on July 1, 2022 in a grove in contrata Pignatiello , in the western area of ??Naples. The murder of Coviello had been decided in the context of the clash between clans for the control of Pianura between the Esposito-Maricano and the Carillo.
