After a service of the Iene, he would have stalked the journalist of the Fatto Quotidiano Vincenzo Iurillo, who would have already threatened in previous months. Already under house arrest for the beating of Claudio d'Esposito, president of the WWF Terre del Tirreno, a new arrest warrant was issued today for the 54-year-old Salvatore Langellotto, a businessman from Sant'Agnello, with previous charges for camorra. Today, the officers of the Judicial Police Squad of the Sorrento Police Station, executing an order applying the precautionary measure of house arrest, issued by the Judge for preliminary investigations of the Torre Annunziata Court at the request of the Oplonti Prosecutor's Office, proceeded to arrest Langellotto for stalking acts against Vincenzo Iurillo, a crime committed between Sant'Agnello and Sorrento from April 9 last year until January 26.

Langellotto - reads a note signed by the prosecutor Nunzio Fragliasso - was already under house arrest for the crime of serious injuries to Claudio d'Esposito. In light of the investigations carried out by the Sorrento Police Station and coordinated by the Torre Annunziata Prosecutor's Office, it emerged that Langellotto had on several occasions threatened, harassed and intimidated journalist Iurillo, causing him a lasting and serious state of anxiety and fear, to the point of generating a well-founded fear for his own safety.

The stalking behavior of Langellotto towards Iurillo, started in April 2023, when the suspect would have threatened the journalist warning him to be careful about what he wrote, continued in October 2023, when the suspect would have threatened Iurillo saying “here is the writer, but sometimes they cut off the heads of writers”, and continued on January 17, during the service of the Iene television program, concerning the well-known affair of the blessing of the trucks, attributable to Langellotto, on the churchyard of the church of Saints Prisco and Agnello in the Municipality of Sant'Agnello, when Langellotto would have stated, in a threatening tone, “tell the good Iurillo to think about his troubles, his skeletons in the closet and who was his father's partner”, would have culminated in the episode of January 20, when the journalist would have been followed by Langellotto and two other people into a pharmacy in Sant'Agnello, where the victim would have found refuge, calling the State Police, who arrived and Langellotto would have left.
