Video shows how the Italian mafia kills in cold blood
The video was shot by closed circuit cameras. It shows a man wearing a baseball cap shooting Mario Bacio Terracino, a Mafia boss.
The victim is seen smoking a cigarette outside a bar in the central Sanita neighbourhood. The criminal enters the bar, where at least six people are seen. Then he comes out and shoots Tarracino at point-blank range.
None of the bystanders moves a finger, although it is hard to say if that is from fear to retaliation or genuine indifference. After five months of investigations, prosecutors have yet to identify the murderer, despite the fact that he’s clearly visible in the video.

“We have decided to circulate the video as widely as possible, urging the cooperation of whoever can provide information to identify the killer and his lookout,” the Naples’ office for anti-mafia investigations said in a statement.
The footage, which is top news on the Italian media, triggered outrage from politicians. A member of the Green party in the Campania region near Naples offered 2,000 euros for data leading to the killer’s arrest.
Reuters reports that Naples – Italy’s biggest city – is home to the Camorra crime syndicate and its residents have become inured and all but resigned to the almost daily violence on its streets.
