Rome: 28-year-old arrested accused of ordering the ambush that led to the murder of Caterina Ciurleo.
The Mobile Squad of the Rome Police Headquarters, coordinated by the local Anti-Mafia District Directorate, this afternoon executed the Order for the application of precautionary custody in prison issued against a twenty-eight year old Italian, seriously suspected of having ordered the ambush which led to the murder of Caterina Ciurleo, which occurred last May 23 in via Don Primo Mazzolari, in the Ponte di Nona area of Rome.
That afternoon, while Ciurleo was inside her friend's car, she was hit by a 9mm bullet fired by the occupants of a red Fiat 500 which had pulled alongside the car in which the victim was travelling, travelling in the wrong direction for a stretch of the road. Due to the injuries sustained, thethe woman had died at the Policlinico Tor Vergata the next morning.
The investigative activity conducted by the Flying Squad had immediately brought to light that the victim was not the real target of the ambush as the shots, at least 5 9mm caliber, had been fired in the direction of another car that was on the same road as the deceased.
As part of the same investigation, as is known, last July the Flying Squad had already executed a custodial order in prison against a twenty-four year old of Romanian origins and a twenty-three year old of Peruvian origins, identified as the occupants of the red Fiat 500 from which the bullets that killed Mrs. Ciurleo had been fired, and therefore as material perpetrators of the crime.
Having fully reconstructed the genesis of the event, it was possible to gather serious evidence regarding the moral involvement of the twenty-eight-year-old Italian in the commission of the murder.
