E 'smile - bitter - the defeat what the mafia boss Antonio Iovine, shows off the exit of the police headquarters in Naples, surrounded by police and dozens of photographers and cameramen, one hour soon after capture, which occurred in a house of Casal di Principe, near Caserta. Iovine - nicknamed 'or no one, "the infant" because from a very young age for reasons unfathomable to the succession of a mafia "families" of the most feared criminal Italian landscape - has surrendered to investigators as a true chieftain, after he tried to escape from a balcony. Agents who surrounded him, confirmed their personal details and asked not want to waste time to show them the documents. "It's me, it is useless to ask me," he told police. With him ended up in handcuffs for aiding and also un incensurato, Marco Borrata, che ne avrebbe curato la latitanza, ospitandolo nella sua abitazione.
Condannato all'ergastolo nel maxiprocesso Spartacus, Iovine è considerato la mente finanziaria dei Casalesi, il boss-imprenditore, capace di movimentare e di gestire affari da decine e decine di milioni di euro all'anno, in collaborazione con l'altro superlatitante casertano, Michele Zagaria, con cui fu protagonista di un clamoroso episodio finito agli atti di un'inchiesta antimafia. I due boss telefonarono infatti a un giornalista di un quotidiano locale per chiedergli di smentire alcune notizie di cronaca nera a loro dire calunniose.
Originario di San Cipriano d'Aversa – uno dei tre paesi, insieme a Casapesenna e Casal di Principe, appunto, dove secondo la leggenda bisogna essere nati per aspirare al ruolo di boss dei boss della camorra casertana -, Antonio Iovine era ricercato da oltre quattordici anni ed era inserito nell'elenco dei trenta latitanti più pericolosi d'Italia, al pari di Matteo Messina Denaro e dei grandi capi della 'Ndrangheta calabrese.
Il suo ruolo di stratega economico-finanziario della cosca è stato ricostruito dalle inchieste condotte dalla magistratura napoletana e dal pool anti-casalesi guidato dal procuratore aggiunto Federico Cafiero De Raho. Un lavoro inquirente fatto in silenzio e con grande professionalità, che a poco a poco ha indebolito il sistema di protezioni e connivenze di cui il malavitoso si era circondato. L'ultima sciabolata è stata inferta May 26, 2008, with a maxi-blitz that dismantled the network of port-orders of the boss, which was also involved his wife, Henrietta Avallone. In the home of Iovine, the investigators found furs, luxury furniture, watches and jewelry with a value that was not possible to seize it, however, each was accompanied by a greetings card to indicate their lawful 'origin'. They were gifts from friends and acquaintances to "'or no one."
On the mode of capture, has expressed the prosecutor's office, Giovandomenico Lepore, noting during a press conference at the coverage offered by locals Iovine, while the head of the squad, Vittorio Pisani, explained that much of the investigative work is based on stalking and eavesdropping and telephone. For the national anti-Mafia prosecutor, Piero Grasso, "Iovine's prestige has fallen and now the organization loses its credibility."
The news of the godfather, came on the day of controversy at a distance between Roberto Saviano and Interior Minister Maroni on the writer's statements about the relations between the Northern League and the 'Ndrangheta in transit "Come away with me," is also been greeted with unanimous political world by words of great appreciation for the work of law enforcement and the judiciary. For the holder of the Interior Ministry, it "is a beautiful day for the fight against the Mafia, "while the chairman of the Senate and the House have sought to dwell on its achievements in the fight against organized crime. "Again, this further suggests that the State's capture and that the institutions are united in the fight against crime," said Renato Schifani, and Gianfranco Fini said that "the fight against organized crime is a primary goal seek, without never let our guard down. "
The Keeper, Angelino Alfano, has instead announced its readiness, immediately, to sign the request for harsh prison regime against the head of the Camorra, "A further confirmation - added Minister of Justice - that the team wins and the State Anti-Mafia played beats the spoken. "
