00:00:21My name is Catello Maresca and I am a magistrate in Naples.
00:00:27What I'm about to tell you is my story. It's a story that for three long years coincided with
00:00:34the escape of the boss of the Casalesi clan, Michele Zagaria.
00:00:42He was a 13-year-old titan and I was tasked with capturing him.
00:00:49I spent entire days listening to wiretaps, studying documents, investigating his network of affiliates.
00:01:02We worked with other magistrates, police officers, carabinieri, and financial police.
00:01:09Everyone was convinced that it was time to get it and that sooner or later it would happen.
00:01:25There have been many difficult moments, many obstacles to overcome.
00:01:31Michele Zagaria was hiding in an underground bunker, but the investigation area was full of dangers and dangerous areas.
00:01:39gray.
00:01:44Many times we have walked all over him, many times we have been close to him.
00:01:52This story is the story of the State defeating the logic of the mafia clans,
00:01:57of justice that wins over corruption.
00:02:02This story is our story.
00:02:13But there is another problem.
00:02:15The Casalessi were better organized than the State.
00:02:18They have very strong counterintelligence.
00:02:21Damn, damn, look, they even make a damn video for a stakeout.
00:02:25The investigation focuses on a family from the Caserta area, the Inquieto family.
00:02:34It's a wiretap that raises alarm about Giuseppe Inquieto and his home.
00:02:43We work for two days to find the bunker, but nothing turns up.
00:02:47Operations are suspended and the boss Michele Zagaria is not found.
00:03:05Operations are suspended and bosses are suspended.
00:03:36To resume the hunt for Zagaria, we had to rewind the tape.
00:03:40We had to pick up the cards and get to work hard.
00:03:54The boss was unfortunately still a ghost, but despite this he was able to give orders
00:04:01from his time in hiding, to give instructions, especially for racketeering activities.
00:04:15Michele Zagaria feels the pressure of the state on him.
00:04:20He understands that the circle is tightening.
00:04:25He understands that his collaboration network is being monitored and investigated by the police forces.
00:04:32and subsidies, funding, and liquidity for all members of the Casalesi clan are starting to run out.
00:04:43in general
00:04:43and in particular by Michele Zagaria.
00:04:46And that is a period in which Michele Zagaria raises his voice towards all those who were
00:04:52subject of his requests for money.
00:04:56In Michele Zagaria's network, which we are observing, in addition to Giuseppe and Vincenzo Inquieto, Giovanni Garofalo enters.
00:05:09Giovanni Garofalo is a tile dealer who has become over time Zagaria's contact for the
00:05:16extortion.
00:05:18Among the various, numerous, supporters reported near Zagaria there was also that of the marble worker,
00:05:26or marmulare as they called it.
00:05:30Person believed to be the contact man between Zagaria and the outside world.
00:05:40Garofalo acts suspiciously, he almost never speaks on the phone,
00:05:45communicates via SMS and uses encrypted language.
00:05:51From the few intercepted conversations, we gather that he runs strange circles.
00:06:10Good morning to you, but why don't I spread the word?
00:06:39The people of Casale are very good and very careful in the use of technology
00:06:43cell phones and be careful of wiretaps, each Garofalo cell phone communicates only with one
00:06:53or two dedicated numbers registered to foreign front men just as if they were scythe phones
00:07:03that is, it was sufficient that only one telephone number be applied to each telephone so
00:07:09such that the user of that phone could not, let's say, use that phone for
00:07:15call other numbers outside of the one indicated in the phone book, phones and cards
00:07:23They are only used for a few days then thrown away at that point for investigators to try
00:07:29To rebuild the network surrounding Michele Zagherì and his clan, we need to start all over again.
00:07:37very often, however, the users of these so-called dedicated phones or also called
00:07:42intercom phones make mistakes such as when for example for a matter of convenience
00:07:54they decide to use that phone to call someone who is not listed in that network
00:08:00the subjects to whom the call is addressed and in these cases the network becomes fragmented
00:08:32the investigators who follow Garofalo discover that it is a point
00:08:36weak a lover with whom he exchanges affectionate messages and who he meets in an apartment
00:09:02the cell phone indicated with the letter c is used only to talk to Carlo that we
00:09:09we identify in Carlo Bianco
00:09:33even that Carlo that Garofalo is talking about has jealousy problems with his partner
00:09:40it's not something else
00:09:43it's not a problem
00:09:43but they are there with water
00:09:44they don't do it with the water
00:09:45they don't fit with my engine
00:09:46they don't fit with my engine
00:09:47there are a thousand
00:09:49then in the evening when we see each other
00:09:54when will it happen
00:09:55why are all 8 phones in all
00:09:59It's been a while since I received a message
00:10:18the shirt that envelops Garofalo
00:10:20it's starting to show the first holes
00:10:24a few days pass
00:10:26and something decisive happens
00:10:28for the balance of the clan
00:10:31and Carmine Zagaria, 43 years old
00:10:34brother of the Casalesi boss
00:10:36Michael Zagaria
00:10:37super fugitive for 15 years
00:10:38he was blocked by the men
00:10:40of the Naples mobile squad
00:10:41for attempted extortion
00:10:43aggravated by the mafia method
00:10:55There is fibrillation in the Zagaria clan
00:10:58Michele summons Giuseppe Garofalo
00:11:01John's brother
00:11:03to issue new directives
00:11:09after the meeting with the boss
00:11:12Joseph is shocked
00:11:13and writes to John
00:11:15I'm still sweating
00:11:17but what does he want?
00:11:19Giovanni answers
00:11:20we never do as he says
00:11:22says Joseph
00:11:23it's always the same
00:11:24Giovanni replies
00:11:25no, it's worse
00:11:28Giuseppe closes
00:11:33this time it's not the usual rebuke
00:11:35this time on extortion
00:11:38we move on to strong measures
00:11:41we can't intercept Zagaria
00:11:43but we perceive its presence
00:11:45on its territory
00:11:46at Casa Pesenna
00:11:48from the lair he writes a letter
00:11:50and sends it to some entrepreneurs
00:11:53who had not paid the protection money
00:11:54inviting everyone
00:11:56to do one's duty
00:11:58these were veiled threats
00:12:01in very few cases
00:12:03he showed a hard face
00:12:06Michael Zagaria
00:12:07to ask for extortion
00:12:09but this letter ends
00:12:11saying
00:12:12and now I recommend
00:12:13go to the police
00:12:14to say that the letter has arrived
00:12:19some entrepreneurs respond
00:12:21not missing
00:12:23financial support
00:12:24to Michele Zagaria
00:12:25others, however, turn a deaf ear
00:12:27towards colors
00:12:29who turn a deaf ear
00:12:30Michael Zagaria
00:12:31he goes through the motions
00:12:39March 15, 2011
00:12:42John Garofalo
00:12:43he calls some associates
00:12:45including Carlo Bianco
00:12:47and Francesco Perna
00:12:48at a bar in San Marcellino
00:12:52that's where it gets organized
00:12:54the punitive expedition
00:12:55against an idle enterprise
00:12:56guilty of not paying
00:13:00they are distributed
00:13:01some orders
00:13:02to be fulfilled
00:13:03on the occasion of extortion
00:13:04from the finding
00:13:05of the car
00:13:06with which he carries out extortion
00:13:08or rather
00:13:08arrive at
00:13:09the company headquarters
00:13:11and move forward
00:13:12the extortion demand
00:13:13up to even finding
00:13:14a weapon
00:13:15evidently
00:13:16with which to threaten
00:13:17the owners of the company

00:13:53we will be there thanks

00:14:07to threaten
00:14:08who had not paid
00:14:11if they don't have much of it
00:14:12they are the two
00:14:13where is it
00:14:14the rustle
00:14:15to the beak
00:14:15which has never
00:14:16And you
00:14:17And you
00:14:18didn't he come here?
00:14:19eh
00:14:19I also have the citizen
00:14:20but
00:14:21the house
00:14:30like a hope
00:14:31there is a life
00:14:31strong
00:14:34the
00:14:35there is the sick woman
00:14:48In that case there was a clear perception that everyone was well aware that extortion
00:15:07It was to be conducted for the uncle, a term used to indicate Zaccaria Michele.
00:15:19After having obtained the weapons and chosen the right car, the two clan members meet to carry out
00:15:26the ambush ordered by Michele Zaccaria.
00:15:37One morning, after having intercepted a van with workers from the company to be blackmailed,
00:15:46they manage to cost them, get close and fire a few shots.
00:15:55Here!
00:15:59No, but then!
00:16:12but I didn't do it though
00:16:16I cannot
00:16:18but you're sorry, in my opinion the door is absolute
00:16:21but that I am absolute
00:16:23four
00:16:249
00:16:256
00:16:273
00:16:281
00:16:291
00:16:291
00:16:301
00:16:301
00:16:301
00:16:301
00:16:312
00:16:311
00:16:312
00:16:323
00:16:333
00:16:345
00:16:346
00:16:357
00:16:357
00:16:367
00:16:368
00:16:36but I didn't smoke them, because I think I'll go something that is taken from behind and they didn't
00:16:42smoked.
00:17:00Behind that ambush there was clearly the order of Michele Zagaria and the group of Garofalo Giovanni
00:17:09and so we wondered how it was possible that Garofalo then received the instructions from Michele Zagaria.
00:17:17We monitored him thoroughly, we didn't know his movements, the wiretaps were particularly pressing.
00:17:27and so we had to once again try to do more on Garofalo too.
00:17:37We invented air control, entering Casa Pesenna without being discovered was practically impossible,
00:17:46so we had to try to control them from above.
00:18:04I am addressing a special department of the Guardia di Finanza which had experimented with investigations with an airplane flying at
00:18:12more than 3,000 meters.
00:18:13From that height, however, he was able to frame the target precisely.
00:18:32Just to give you an evaluable parameter, during the operation that led to the arrest of Bernardo Provenzano
00:18:38The police at the time said they could investigate that target because they had particularly powerful cameras.
00:18:48that they were able to photograph and film the structure even from a kilometer away.
00:18:54To give you a reference, our sensors at one kilometer can't even focus because it's too close.
00:19:01for us.
00:19:14After many tests, we decided to use that very Guardia di Finanza plane.
00:19:20We need to investigate from above the area where Garofalo lives, his house.
00:19:29We need to know everything that happens when Garofalo is around there.
00:19:34Lights coming on, people moving in the streets.
00:19:40We worked with multiple cameras at the same time, one that gave us the full view, one that gave us the detailed view.
00:19:46and so we were able to see every single little movement as well as a light from an electric gate
00:19:52that was lit up
00:19:53just as we were able to keep an eye on the entire area at the same time.
00:20:10We notice that Garofalo makes a strange patrol around the town almost every evening.
00:20:17during which he talks to his lover on the phone.
00:20:54We identified that in the vicinity of that communication, immediately before or immediately after, Garofalo arrived at a specific villa
00:21:03and inside this villa it went down and you could see, because it had an underground garage,
00:21:11and you could clearly see a series of internal lights turning on in sequence.
00:21:16This sequence, which has repeated itself in a cyclical manner, is always the same for a fairly significant period of time.
00:21:26At one point, Garofalo speaks to his wife in a suspicious manner.
00:21:48Those words are coded signals to be taken seriously,
00:21:52but there are no certainties.
00:21:56Yet we decide to take the risk and intervene at the Garofalo house.
00:22:02For us, at that moment, Michele Zagaria was in a bunker down there, but we had a problem.
00:22:09The operation was also difficult because the area was monitored and patrolled by sentries,
00:22:17that is, from Michele Zagaria's men of the clan, who automatically reported
00:22:22any approach of cars, people or vehicles unknown to them,
00:22:27allowing you to do what?
00:22:28So to escape or to move or in any case to no longer be traced.
00:22:46Two minutes was the time needed by the lookouts, that is, by the people who reported the presence of the police,
00:22:54to pass from one extreme to the other of the area where at least Garofalo and presumably the super-fugitive resided.
00:23:02So we had calculated to guarantee about two minutes of time in which the sniper personnel,
00:23:08that is, external observers of the area could reach the part of the buildings without being seen by anyone.
00:23:39The traffic flows quickly, the roads are blocked, they get out, force the gate,
00:23:45they enter and immediately go to the lower part of the building, a part of the team,
00:23:51which is the one where the garage was and therefore it was assumed that the bunker was present.
00:24:02The other part of the group instead attacks the main door with the bomb,
00:24:11with which the armored door is blown up and they immediately gain access.
00:24:29Through a series of micro-charges, the GIS Carabinieri gain access to the house
00:24:35and mobilize Giovanni Garofalo.
00:24:37So we too intervene in the Red and the Carabinieri
00:24:40and we begin the search operations of the entire house.
00:24:58We spend the whole night looking for the bunker, but we don't find it.
00:25:03and obviously we don't find Michele Zagaria either.
00:25:11, the bunker, but we can't find it.
00:25:40See you soon.
00:26:16Of course, it was quite a disappointment when, upon entering here, instead of finding a bunker, we saw a
00:26:28fully equipped tavern. We thought we had made a mistake, we thought it was time to
00:26:40to go away and leave this trail alone. But there was something that didn't add up, this
00:26:48step, we were impressed by this step which was asymmetrical, it was not found with the height
00:26:55nor with the distances from the rest of the house. We then decided to close everything,
00:27:01to seize, to evict the occupants and to begin to analyze this place.
00:27:07Some core drilling, some activities were done with that same machine. You can still see them here.
00:27:13the drill holes. I remember that we dismantled that fireplace piece by piece. Then we concentrated
00:27:20on that cellar. There was a kitchen there that clashed with an aluminum frame, a compartment
00:27:30also poorly built, a narrow descent, a low entrance. And we sent him to some
00:27:38engineers to do a whole series of core drilling and analyses. We were looking for something that would
00:27:43could guide us in the search for a bunker.
00:27:51That day we don't find anything special, but we don't give up and we come back after a few weeks
00:27:59for an inspection. During that inspection, we found a damp patch on a wall.
00:28:09We break through that wall and finally find access to a bunker.
00:28:17Michele Zagari had been there until very recently.
00:28:24Evidently, in the imminence of the brizzo, with the suspicion that there could be an irruption,
00:28:30the fugitive had been taken elsewhere and the occupants had faced the problem of
00:28:36justify access to this place.
00:28:44It was a mechanism that allowed the fugitive to access the bunker, he positioned himself in
00:28:50an area of about one square meter, activated the mechanism and went down to the floor below.
00:28:58This underground room consisted of a bedroom with a queen-size bed,
00:29:04with video surveillance, television, satellite, everything that could be needed in a home
00:29:09modern. So, essentially, it was effectively a mini-apartment.
00:29:15However, in the vicinity of that house, we make another discovery.
00:29:21We managed to find one of the intercoms that Michele Zagaria used to avoid being intercepted.
00:29:34Michele Zagaria's intercom network ran through here. He had wired practically everything
00:29:40all of Casapesena, here we are even in San Marcellino, a nearby municipality, because
00:29:47he had an obsession with being intercepted.
00:30:05We found eight kilometers of electric wire that connected the entire network
00:30:10of intercoms, through which Michele Zagaria spoke with his affiliates, without being intercepted.
00:30:19they were used both for service communication and to give the sensation of presence
00:30:24of the boss within the municipality.
00:30:35Wouldn't it have had the same psychological effect on those who were called upon to speak?
00:30:41with Zagaria if the conversations had taken place on a cell phone. Surely you looked at the intercom
00:30:45with the boss had its psychological repercussions.
00:30:56Only strong institutional complicity had allowed the clan to wire the city's network.
00:31:09Ultimately there was also the consent of the municipality which would even take care of the
00:31:15maintenance of his intercom system which allowed him to speak with his affiliates
00:31:21and with his supporters.
00:31:41Hundreds of men including Carabinieri, police, financial police and special forces have made
00:31:46Scorched earth surrounds the boss and his most trusted men. Municipalities are under siege.
00:31:51of Caserta, the criminal kingdom of Michele Zagaria, the boss of bosses of the Casalesi clan, a fugitive
00:31:57for over 15 years, today was his birthday and this is the unique gift they gave him
00:32:02law enforcement agencies have done this. Closed-circuit television cameras that allow them to monitor
00:32:08I'm checking the streets of Casa Pesenda. They also searched for Zagaria in the sewer system of the
00:32:13area, one of the escape routes often used by fugitives to escape numerous raids.
00:32:24That day, with all the streets patrolled and dozens of house searches, it became clear
00:32:32that something had actually not yet been discovered.
00:33:01Our strategy was clear. The population also had to feed the
00:33:06perceive that covering up Michele Zagaria's fugitive status had become dangerous and that keeping
00:33:12the boss at Casa Pesenda had become a problem.
00:33:23That demonstrative action by the police had served some purpose. The family was worried.
00:33:31Vincenzo starts to show nervousness again and their phones start giving information again.
00:33:39And then it becomes a priority to monitor them more and more.
00:33:47Vincenzo's family apparently had no income. He had never been active.
00:33:56employment during the investigation period. His wife also had no employment.
00:34:03the children were small and went to school. Nothing that would suggest that they could
00:34:10even allow the purchase of very expensive designer clothes. But
00:34:16However, the standard of living enjoyed by this family was certainly not on the threshold of
00:34:28poverty. Malicious voices say that he was hosted by Mrs. Massa rather than by
00:34:33restless family. In reality that was one of the families available anyway
00:34:40Zagaria has a somewhat ambiguous role, I must say. A response on the family of
00:34:49Vincenzo was restless. A small investigative clue was about to fall from the sky once again.
00:34:57In fact, we decide to use that plane which had already been used to keep under control
00:35:02Garofalo. Monitoring from above would have allowed us to determine whether he had been transported.
00:35:12a cable to power the bunker.
00:35:22We equip ourselves with special sensors with cameras capable of taking high-speed photographs
00:35:29very high resolution.
00:35:33And it was right there, in that moment when we saw, noticed and identified some
00:35:39cables, one in particular, which came from another house and which arrived inside
00:35:47of the restless family property, they rested on the ground which was partly grass and could be seen
00:35:54precisely that this cable reached the inside of the house.
00:36:02The team of investigators analyzes the electricity consumption curves and discovers peaks
00:36:07of current.
00:36:14Even though it was completely isolated and everything was turned off at night, the meter still worked,
00:36:22with the increase of peaks in certain time slots. Almost permanently and habitually,
00:36:32early in the morning, after lunch and late at night, even at two in the morning, half past two.
00:36:39Our presumption was to intuit that the fugitive was practically living right
00:36:46above and take refuge downstairs in case of emergency or tie himself down only when he had to rest
00:36:57or do other things.
00:37:27Our presumption was
00:37:30Just as we were about to enter the heart of the matter, where we really felt that we were close to reaching our goal,
00:37:39the news is spread publicly which creates a certain embarrassment and also considerable difficulties for us,
00:37:50namely that Vittorio Pisani, then head of the Naples flying squad, was under investigation.
00:37:59Pisani, a brilliant investigator with many successes against the Camorra, replaced, transferred, banned from residing in Naples.
00:38:08Would he have become so foolish as to risk his career for friendships and the occasional exchange of favors?
00:38:13Or rather, he was the victim of an extreme way of conducting investigations, of using informants and the mechanism
00:38:19of the confidences, of which he himself was a theoretician?
00:38:23It was a particularly complicated moment for the investigative activity,
00:38:29because even some members of his team, who were the same trusted men who were following the investigation on
00:38:38Zechariah,
00:38:38they were subjected to checks, to wiretaps, in any case they were essentially under investigation.
00:38:48How is it possible that the greatest hunter of Camorristi, the most experienced policeman, can be suspected of something like this?
00:39:00serious?
00:39:05Even explaining this type of situation to the police themselves, who were hierarchically under Pisa, would have been difficult and complicated.
00:39:25Our office was struck by a force that was indescribable.
00:39:34Only those who live alongside that man on a daily basis can understand the spirit of sacrifice he put into all his work.
00:39:41things he did.
00:39:43So for us it was just debilitating.
00:39:51But how is the question they ask each other from mouth possible?
00:39:55Yet the one that fell on the head of the manager Vittorio Pisani, now transferred to Rome to the anti-crime unit of the Ministry of the Interior, is
00:40:01a heavy stone.
00:40:05The investigation initially faltered, it was not known whether to continue or not.
00:40:15There was a moment of dismay, there's no point in denying it.
00:40:22I tried to avoid the field of the flying squad being subjected to this kind of shame, of application
00:40:33of a precautionary measure.
00:40:37He was transferred to Rome, but to an operational unit, and continued the investigation for the arrest of Zaccaria.
00:40:47Pisani, who later also faced trial, was acquitted, fully acquitted.
00:40:58That was one of the most difficult moments for the investigation.
00:41:03Pisani, the only one who had entered the house restless, was now out of the game.
00:41:18But his team resists, and thanks to their cunning,
00:41:22we manage to infiltrate the domestic walls of Vincenzo Inquieto,
00:41:26and collect very important data, which will mark a turning point in the investigations.
00:41:34It is decided to send a Trojan horse, that is, a Trojan virus, to Vincenzo Inquieto's computer.
00:41:43The virus is hidden in an ISCA site, created specifically to lure Vincenzo Inquieto into the trap.
00:41:50It was a site for mulatto and South American girls, a passion for Vincenzo Inquieto.
00:41:57Behind the profile of Vanessa, a beautiful and young Brazilian, there was us.
00:42:03Obviously, it was decided to use the computer at Vincenzo Inquieto's house.
00:42:08like a sort of repeater, like a lighthouse, like a peephole,
00:42:11from which to actually verify what is happening.
00:42:14And from there we understand how some of the normal activities of Vincenzo Inquieto's family
00:42:20were in some way influenced by the possible presence of a guest,
00:42:25of a person to whom to provide some answers, to whom to provide goods,
00:42:31who needed to be helped in some way, supported in her daily life activities.
00:42:37Vincenzo Inquieto connects to a specialized site,
00:42:41where he asks to experiment with an electrical system capable of making an artefact slide on a trolley,
00:42:46forward and reverse, with the possibility of deactivating the system remotely
00:42:53or insert an automatic power cut-off mechanism along the route.
00:43:00Why are there so many interviews after the sheep capture?
00:43:04on the statements made by the Naples police commissioner and the manager Pisani?
00:43:09Why do you deal with forced electric fans to buy?
00:43:16Why are you surfing to see where you need to go to fix an etrogen cluster?
00:43:26With those navigations he practically led us to think
00:43:32who was certainly the supporter of Michele Zaccaria,
00:43:39the only thing to be ascertained was whether she kept him at home or cared for him elsewhere.
00:43:48The information gathered through the Trojan virus leads us to prepare the raid on Vincenzo Inquieto's home.
00:44:03A few days pass and we suddenly discover that
00:44:07those peaks in electricity consumption are no longer there.
00:44:12There was a moment of panic, if we want to call it that,
00:44:18because the zeroing of the peaks led us to think
00:44:23that the fugitive had moved away from the house.
00:44:30It's not like a fugitive is hanging out in someone's house,
00:44:34the fugitive moves.
00:44:35There are several families who have hosted him,
00:44:38it is enough to move from one house to another to avoid being caught
00:44:41and then maybe go back to where you were.
00:44:45It only takes a minute later to lose a person
00:44:48and it's not necessarily true that that minute of delay was caused by bad faith.
00:44:55We are afraid of a leak,
00:44:58of someone who might have tipped off the boss that we were about to get him.
00:45:05But let's move forward convinced that Zechariah was right there,
00:45:09at Vincenzo Inquieto's house.
00:45:13A short time passes and a conversation is intercepted
00:45:16which will then prove decisive.
00:45:23Wait for Federica.
00:45:25Hello, who is it?
00:45:27One second.
00:45:29Dad?
00:45:29Dad?
00:45:30Giomichele?
00:45:34I was personally very struck by a statement made by Inquieto's daughter.
00:45:39He said, Giomichele rang the bell.
00:45:41It struck me so much because I thought it could be completely
00:45:46compatible with a system with which the fugitive actually rang the intercom
00:45:51to warn or to be helped to re-emerge from a bunker
00:45:55or he would warn them to come back or maybe he would ask for something.
00:45:59Dad?
00:46:00Dad?
00:46:01Giomichele?
00:46:05Initially I was certain that it was Michele who had knocked on the intercom from the bunker
00:46:10but we could not have this mathematical certainty because at the same time
00:46:16when he rang the intercom at that house he entered right into the street, as seen by the camera,
00:46:24a gentleman on board a car
00:46:27which then, after the investigations, we had the misfortune
00:46:35because it's just bad luck
00:46:37that the owner of the car was called Michele.
00:47:06December 6, 2011
00:47:09there was a major operation against the Casalesi clan
00:47:13Operation The Prince and the Showgirl was performed
00:47:17and everything suggested that the final moment had truly arrived
00:47:23the collapse of the Zagaria system
00:47:25There were police everywhere, every house was searched.
00:47:29The Prince and the Ballerina Card
00:47:32It's the story of a shopping center that was never built
00:47:34and of strange ballots in the local elections in Casal di Principe
00:47:38handcuffs to entrepreneurs, local politicians.
00:47:40The arrests were carried out at dawn by the DIA
00:47:42which he also notified to the Chamber of Deputies
00:47:44a request for arrest
00:47:46against the MP Nicola Cosentino
00:47:48on charges of money laundering and corruption.
00:47:54That day the reaction of the restless family is frantic
00:48:01they want to understand what's happening
00:48:26He and his wife are constantly coming and going
00:48:29they take a ride in their cars and come back
00:48:32but Vincenzo doesn't realize that we're checking him.
00:48:41Let's say that was the confirmation
00:48:45that Michele Zaccaria found himself initiated
00:48:48and that he had sent both him and his wife
00:48:52to check what was happening that morning.
00:49:05We'll talk about this and more this evening.
00:49:07with Catello Maresca. Good evening.
00:49:10Good evening to you.
00:49:10Public prosecutor on the front line
00:49:12on the front of the fight against the Camorra in Naples.
00:49:15That day I am a guest on TV in Rome.
00:49:17We are talking about the Casalesi
00:49:20and of the raid that has just been carried out.
00:49:22Among the great fugitives
00:49:23Michele Zaccaria and the boss of Casa Pesenna are missing
00:49:27the only clan whose phenomenon of repentance
00:49:30It seems unknown. Why?
00:49:32Because it is an entrepreneurial holding company
00:49:34which has extraordinary economic power.
00:49:38I'm very tense.
00:49:39I already knew that after a few hours
00:49:42the raid would have started to capture Zechariah.
00:49:45So nobody ever thinks
00:49:46based on the economic support of the clan
00:49:49of being able to betray him.
00:49:50But do you take it?
00:49:51We'll get it.
00:49:55We would have found it.
00:49:58We would have found the bunker where he was hidden.
00:50:02At that moment I don't know for sure
00:50:05but I had everything organized
00:50:07and everyone was ready.
00:50:23Good morning but everything seemed to match
00:50:26consumption, computer indications
00:50:29the enthusiasm of the police too
00:50:31which made us understand that in their opinion
00:50:33he was there
00:50:34and so we decided to take a chance.
00:50:39All law enforcement agencies
00:50:41they gather in Caserta at 3 in the morning.
00:50:45At the headquarters
00:50:47we study the map of Casa Pesena,
00:50:49the intervention is planned,
00:50:51tasks are distributed,
00:50:53the neuralgic points are marked
00:50:55of the territory to be attacked.
00:51:00I am asked to make a real list
00:51:03of the necessary means,
00:51:05two drills,
00:51:06those for making foundation piles,
00:51:10an excavator carried by three trucks,
00:51:13demolition hammers and so on.
00:51:14In short, Dr. Maresca gives me carte blanche.
00:51:17on the topic.
00:51:31Thank you all.
00:52:07It was confined with men
00:52:11and block compounds
00:52:12the whole entire country.
00:53:00That morning I arranged the wiretaps
00:53:02for about thirty families
00:53:04which are close to Vincenzo Inquieto's house,
00:53:07precisely because I want to monitor
00:53:09all possible movements
00:53:10and escape routes.
00:53:35That joke was made because to say these
00:53:39they have no intention of carrying out a search
00:53:42summary and leave.
00:53:44The trucks and motor vehicles entered
00:53:47in the street,
00:53:49so they'll probably get it.
00:53:52for us who have always been investigating for a long time
00:53:56it was the sentence that convinced us
00:53:59totally
00:54:00that we had to persevere
00:54:01to the last stone,
00:54:04but the fugitive was there.
00:54:44At Vincenzo Inquieto's house we dismantle everything,
00:54:48doors, walls, fixtures.
00:54:57But there seems to be no trace of the bunker.
00:55:01We still have to search.
00:55:06I have an image before my eyes
00:55:08just like when we first arrived
00:55:10that there were people who were fixed there
00:55:13and that they did not leave during the whole period.
00:55:19Those made me understand, personally,
00:55:22that something was there.
00:55:24Although the police were very distrustful,
00:55:27but it was clearly in the air.
00:55:30You could see it in people's faces.
00:55:33It really felt like we were attending a funeral.
00:55:54The concern was both that of not finding anything
00:55:59and also in total ignorance
00:56:01what kind of structure we were dealing with,
00:56:05there was the fear perhaps of giving up time,
00:56:08in case there was an escape route,
00:56:11for the fugitive to escape.
00:56:12And so time was definitely of the essence.
00:56:16and by late morning things were not going our way.
00:56:28Then we follow a trail.
00:56:30It's a gap between two rooms, in the laundry room.
00:56:35I get a so-called crowbar,
00:56:40it's called in the gecko,
00:56:42so a piece of steel,
00:56:44and I insert it inside the gap
00:56:47and in the gap that formed between the two walls.
00:56:50Obviously even if something has been re-hypothesized,
00:56:55I was shocked, amazed,
00:56:57in the reception I was in the laundry room
00:56:59and forcing with this crowbar
00:57:01practically the entire room
00:57:03he made a small movement
00:57:04as if it had been a small earthquake.
00:57:07At that moment I realize
00:57:08that I am evidently in a mobile room.
00:57:11All?
00:57:12Do you close very little?
00:57:15I go to the room where there were
00:57:18Dr. Pisani and Inspector Roberto,
00:57:20I'll explain to you what happened,
00:57:21not even time to converse
00:57:23a few minutes on what to do
00:57:25and you hear a scream
00:57:27from that area
00:57:29because one of the policemen heard
00:57:31Michele Zagaria's voice from below
00:57:34who was willing to surrender.
00:57:37Wait, wait, wait.
00:57:54I'm going down, it's another person,
00:57:57let's do the search and come on over there.
00:58:05No, no, it's someone else.
00:58:24until there is certainty
00:58:26of achieving the result.
00:58:28I couldn't wait
00:58:30this official communication,
00:58:33so I got in the car
00:58:34and I tried to reach
00:58:35as quickly as possible
00:58:37Pesena House.
00:58:41and right on the way
00:58:43I receive the phone call
00:58:44what does he tell me
00:58:45the doctor we are in contact,
00:58:47he gave up.
00:59:05Good morning, Michele.
00:59:15Good morning, Michele.
00:59:17Good morning, Michele.
00:59:20The three of us are going downstairs.
00:59:21Yes.
01:00:01I was finally in front of the boss.
01:00:05Michele Zagheria's Last Seconds
01:00:08as a free man.
01:00:10He was a defeated man.
01:00:13I had it.
01:00:15We had it.
01:00:19You're done, Mr. President.
01:00:25Have you finished it?
01:00:27Have you finished it?
01:00:35You finished it.
01:00:37Have you finished it?
01:00:45very positive result.
01:01:26Thank you all.
01:02:11The boss Michele Zagaria,
01:02:13the last super fugitive of the Camorra
01:02:15he was arrested in a mega raid
01:02:17of the police in the Caserta area.
01:02:19The boss was hiding in a bunker
01:02:21which is accessed through a tunnel
01:02:23inside a villa that was surrounded
01:02:25this night from the SCO men
01:02:27and the mobile squads of Caserta
01:02:29and Naples.
01:02:57For those who believe in justice
01:03:00It's a day that should be remembered
01:03:04as well as Easter day
01:03:06or Christmas Day
01:03:08should be celebrated on December 7, 2011.
01:03:55I will carry it with me for the rest of my life
01:03:57the sound of the room moving on the tracks
01:04:01to be able to access the underground bunker.
01:04:09It reminded me of the noise of the pyramids moving
01:04:12what's in the movies
01:04:14the sound of moving stones.
01:04:19I had been dreaming for a long time
01:04:21to find this bunker
01:04:23Now, after three years of research and hard work
01:04:27I made it
01:04:28we made it
01:04:30the state had done it
01:04:37The magistrates and the police
01:04:39of course also the Carabinieri and the Finance Police
01:04:42I mean all the policemen
01:04:43remember what?
01:04:45Names, data, facts, crimes, massacres
01:04:48and let's say the mafioso doesn't admit this
01:04:51on the other hand
01:04:51a great contemporary European writer
01:04:54Milan Kundera
01:04:55he said in a very well-known aphorism
01:04:58that man's struggle against power
01:05:00against any power
01:05:01therefore also and above all against criminal powers
01:05:04It is the struggle of memory against oblivion
01:05:06the mafioso takes strength from oblivion
01:05:09of the lack of memory
01:05:12of the removal of memory
01:05:13this is why it is still important today
01:05:15remember the facts
01:05:17to remember
01:05:18because memory is the best ancient
01:05:20against mafia arrogance
01:05:43thank you all
01:06:13thank you all
01:06:39thank you all
01:06:41thank you all
