Mollicone murder, prosecutor: “The Mottola family is all involved like the Ciontoli in the Vannini case”

(from the correspondent Giorgia Sodaro) – ” Marco, Franco and Annamaria not only actively contributed to killing Serena Mollicone but are all holders of a position of guarantee ” like ” the Ciontoli in the murder of Marco Vannini ”. The prosecutor Carmen Fusco argued this during the indictment of the trial for the murder of the young woman from Arce killed in 2001, speaking of the brigadier of the carabinieri who committed suicide in 2008. In the trial, which has reached its final stages, they are accused of murder and concealment of the corpse of the Carabinieri Marshal Franco Mottola, his wife Anna Maria, their son Marco. Marshal Vincenzo Quatrale is accused of external concurrence in the murder and instigation to suicide of Brigadier Santino Tuzi. Finally, the constable Francesco Suprano is accused of aiding and abetting. ” The crime of murder unites all the members of the Mottola family ”, argued Fusco. ” Serena, if rescued immediately, would have been saved but died as a result of active conduct, because the Mottolas, all present and all agree on what to do, in front of a fainted but alive girl, obstruct the airways and close her head with a plastic bag and with duct tape, ” he stressed. ” Serena suffered a blow to the head and survived, sustained a major but non-lethal trauma. She could have been saved but she was suffocated with an adhesive tape that wrapped her mouth and it was over, ” said the prosecutor Beatrice Siravo before the Court of Assizes of Cassino, during the indictment of the trial, citing the super-expertise of Cristina Cattaneo, medical examiner who directs the Laboratory of Forensic Anthropology and Odontology of the University of Milan. Cattaneo’s super-expertise was decisive for the reopening of the investigations and the subsequent trial. The young victim, according to what was reconstructed by the prosecutor, would have received the blow to the head around 11.30 and would have died after 5 hours of agony. ” Santino Tuzi committed suicide because he was left alone by all those who knew the truth ” but also because ” he knew ”, said the prosecutor Siravo again during the indictment which began last Friday and resumed this morning. ” Why did Santino Tuzi commit suicide? ” asked the prosecutor. ” If Santino had not committed suicide, since no one confirmed his statements, he would have gone to trial for the murder as happened to Carmine Belli ”, she claimed. ” I would like to rehabilitate Santino’s image – he concluded – He was the only one who broke the wall of silence and paid for his statements with his life ”.
