Salvatore Tesoriere, the 23-year-old from Strongoli who ended up in handcuffs on 14 October as part of the “Saulo” investigation by the DDA of Catanzaro which defeated the new structures of the Farao-Marincola gangs of Cirò and Giglio of Strongoli, went from prison to house arrest. This is what the Court of Review of Catanzaro decided today. Which, accepting the request of the suspect’s defenders, the lawyers Domenico and Francesco Sirianni, ordered a more attenuated precautionary measure against him.
At the same time, the judges annulled the order of the investigating judge of Catanzaro regarding the accusation of mafia association that was brought against the Treasurer. Who must also answer for attempted extortion aggravated by the mafia’s purpose and method. Three requests for protection money, which did not materialize, came under the scrutiny of the investigators, which the 23-year-old, together with other suspects, allegedly made – between 2023 and 2024 – against as many entrepreneurs from Strongolese. While the Review called into question the accusation against the Treasurer of being part of the Strongoli clan which was reorganized under the leadership of Enrico Miglio. The “Saulo” operation came to light with the execution of 21 precautionary measures carried out by the Carabinieri. The investigations “tell” of the rediscovered activism of the Cirotano clan which, decimated by arrests and convictions, had once again started dictating the law in its area of reference through extortion and damage. In addition to maintaining relations with the nearby ‘ndrine of Strongoli and Cariati.
