Molfetta murder investigation: 19-year-old arrested

Authorities in Molfetta have arrested 19-year-old Maikol Parisi in connection with the murder of Antony La Forgia. Parisi is accused of complicity in aggravated homicide, illegal possession of firearms, and private violence.

According to the Trani Prosecutor's Office, Parisi provided “fundamental logistical and operational support” during the preparatory and execution phases of the crime. Specifically, he is alleged to have supplied the two pistols used in the shooting and accompanied an accomplice to retrieve a vehicle.

The arrest follows a request from prosecutor Francesco Chiechi, which was granted by Judge Domenico Zeno of the Trani Court. Parisi is the second son of Michele “Francesin” Parisi, who is already in custody for the same crime. Other individuals previously detained in connection with the case include 23-year-old Ilario Camporeale and a 16-year-old resident of Molfetta.
