A preliminary investigations
judge on Tuesday issued orders for several members of the
Casalesi clan of the Naples Camorra mafia, all of whom are
already in prison, to be charged in connection with the 1989
abduction and murder of a young rival.
The 1989 case was reopened last year after new evidence
emerged regarding suspects in the disappearance of 21-year-old
Paolo Letizia, who was kidnapped and murdered in a turf war that
erupted after the killing of Antonio Bardellino, one of the
founders of the Casalesi clan.
The Casalesis are one of the most powerful Camorra clans.
Their death threats forced writer Roberto Saviano into
police protection after his expose' Gomorrah.
