Francesco “Sandokan” Schiavone has become a collaborator of justice after 26 years in prison. The former head of the Casalesi clan, based in Casal di Principe, near Naples, had been sentenced to several life sentences.
His decision to collaborate with justice constitutes “the umpteenth hard blow against the Camorra and organized crime”, welcomed Chiara Colosimo, the president of the Anti-Mafia Parliamentary Commission.
