The mayor of Quarto, Rosa Capuozzo was officially expelled from the Five Star Movement. The news was announced by Beppe Grillo's blog and follows the publication of the telephone interceptions from which it emerges that the mayor had warned the leadership of the Movement and spoke directly with Luigi Di Maio, regarding the racketeering pressures exerted by the starry councilor (also expelled John DeRobbio. The story is part of the struggle between the Camorra clans of Quarto, in the Neapolitan area, for control of the funeral homes. And before that, on the choices of the Cesarano clan to divert votes to the administrative offices last spring.
“Rosa Capuozzo was reached by an expulsion measure from the 5 Star Movement for serious violation of its principles. Because we are the 5 Star Movement and not just any Democratic Party". With these words, Beppe Grillo's blog communicated the expulsion of the mayor of Quarto, a small town in the province of Naples.
“It is the duty of a mayor of the 5 Star Movement to report immediately and without hesitation to the authorities any blackmail or threat he receives. Because we are genetically different from parties which, instead of slamming the door on organized crime, as was done in Quarto, make them sit down and sit at their table to share the cake”, reads the blog of the Cinquestelle leader. However, the Blog overlooks the fact that, once informed by Capuozzo, the M5S summit preferred to keep the story under wraps until it exploded in the newspapers and the interceptions were published that flew by as Di Maio was instead aware of everything that was going on happening in Quarto.
