This evening, Tuesday 30th January, in the prime time on Italia 1, Giulio Golia and Francesca Di Stefano's investigation into the Ponticelli massacre will be aired. Condemned for the terrible story of two girls tortured, raped and killed in 1983 in Naples, Ciro Imperante, Giuseppe La Rocca and Luigi Schiavo, could be victims of one of the most sensational judicial errors in Italian history.

A case that has also attracted the attention of the parliamentary anti-mafia commission, which, in the last legislature, raised several doubts about the investigations carried out, leading it to believe that the shadow of organized crime may have fallen on the affair.

The correspondent met Andrea Fusinato, a former Calabrian justice collaborator, who claims to have met in prison the repentant Mario Incarnato who would have made important revelations about the Ponticelli case. Among these, Ciro Imperante, Giuseppe La Rocca and Luigi Schiavo would have been indicated by Incarnato as executors of the massacre, in exchange for the 'status of justice collaborator'.

After months of research, Golia managed to collect also the declarations of the justice collaborator Mario Incarnato and this evening his words will be aired exclusively.

Moreover, in front of the cameras of Le Iene and in the presence of the three accused, Giuseppe Conte declared: 'The elements that you presented in your investigation appear horrifying so we will do everything to give a new impulse to the anti-mafia commission. I would really like to come to that day when you can publicly say here it is, this is our record'.

Meanwhile, after Golia's services, the Naples prosecutor's office has acquired all the material and opened a new investigation with the hope after forty years of being able to have new updates.

The facts: forty years ago Barbara Sellini and Nunzia Munizzi, two girls aged 7 and 10, were raped, tortured, killed, and finally set on fire. A heinous and brutal crime, which shocked not only Naples but the whole of Italy, and which, after two months of investigations and three years of trials, sentenced to life imprisonment Ciro Imperante, Giuseppe La Rocca and Luigi Schiavo. The three, barely of age at the time of the facts, claimed from the first moment to be innocent. Today, after serving their sentence, they continue to declare themselves victims of what could be one of the most sensational judicial errors in our country.
