Raffaele Cutolo - 3° parte (Poggio Reale tra Violenza, Devozione Cieca e l'Inizio della Caduta)

This episode focuses on the height of Raffaele Cutolo's power, his reign inside Poggio Reale prison, and the event that marks the beginning of his decline: the murder of the prison's deputy director, Giuseppe Salvia. Content Summary The Kingdom of Poggio Reale: In the 1980s, Poggio Reale prison is Cutolo's center of power. After his prison escape, his criminal prestige grows, and the blind devotion of his followers, recruited from among the outcasts, combines with violence and money. Ottaviano becomes his stronghold, and Cutolo presents himself as a Messiah fighting injustice. The New Family: His ambition to tax cigarette trafficking in Naples leads to conflict with the old Camorra families and the Mafia. The anti-Cutolian "New Family" front is formed, dividing Poggio Reale into wings, where murder and revenge are the order of the day. Deputy Director Salvia: Deputy Director Giuseppe Salvia, who arrived in 1973, is the only person of integrity who is not inclined to favoritism and applies prison rules to Cutolo and his men. Salvia rejects a bribery attempt and does not appreciate his rules being contradicted. Earthquake and Public Challenge: The earthquake of November 23, 1980, sparks a prison riot, with Cutolo issuing death orders. A few days later, Cutolo resists the ritual search, and when Salvia proceeds alone, Cutolo publicly slaps him. This gesture is considered a death sentence. The Murder: On April 14, 1981, Dr. Salvia is killed on the Naples ring road. The fingerprint left on the handbrake of the killers' car leads to Mario Incarnato, one of Cutolo's men. The Beginning of the End: The murder of a civil servant marks the height of Cutolo's power, but also the beginning of his rapid decline. His transfer to Ascoli Piceno, and his subsequent involvement in the Cirillo case, will be the boss's final straw.
