A 26-year-old hairdresser from Barletta, Francesco Diviesti, was found dead after disappearing on April 25, 2025. Authorities have linked his death to a dispute orchestrated by a drug trafficking group, reportedly led by 40-year-old Albanian national Igli Kamberi. Sources indicate that the violence was part of a settling of scores connected to the criminal enterprise.
Diviesti had reportedly become associated with the group through an acquaintance who introduced him to the world of small-scale drug distribution. Maria Marzocca, Diviesti’s mother, provided context regarding the conflict, stating that the dispute arose over “a circle of acquaintances” that she disapproved of, noting that arguments had occurred between the parties involved. Following her son’s death, she informed investigators that the family lived in fear due to the dangerous nature of the individuals involved.
The investigation centers on the organized nature of the attack, suggesting that the killing was not random but rather retaliation related to his involvement with the drug network. The incident has drawn significant attention to the criminal elements operating in the region. The narrative surrounding the case suggests a pattern of escalating conflict tied to illicit activities.
While the family expressed profound fear following the incident, law enforcement agencies are continuing to investigate the depth of the connections between the hairdresser and the drug trafficking syndicate, focusing on the group led by Kamberi.
