Pentiti Filippo Cerfeda and Dario Toma accuse each other of ordering the murder of Fabio Beato

Dopo gli omicidi di Russo e di Maletesta, venne a trovarmi Beato facendomi intendere che, in risposta, sarebbero stati uccisi due "leccesi" ed io pensai a me e a mio fratello. Ne parlai con Toma, ma non assunse alcuna decisione. Dopo il ferimento di un suo caro amico, un pizzaiolo di Surbo, decretò la morte di Beato perchè lui ribatteva colpo su colpo». Cerfeda, poi, ha smentito l’esistenza di debiti di droga con Beato.
