The son, completely extraneous to criminal circles, was killed and dissolved in acid "by mistake".
On the eve of the preliminary hearing, the two assassins, both linked to a Camorra clan, offered compensation, which however the parents - according to Il Mattino and Repubblica Napoli - refused: the judge will decide.
Giulio Giaccio, 26, was killed on July 30, 2000 in Pianura, a neighborhood in the western suburbs of Naples, the victim of a mistaken identity.
The two men arrested for the murder, Salvatore Cammarota and Carlo Nappi, already convicted in the past of Camorra association and linked to the Polverino clan, have sent their parents an offer of compensation for the damage.
Nappi offered 30,000 euros, Cammarota another 30,000, plus some properties with an estimated value of 120,000 euros.
This is, they argue, the "maximum economic effort" they can afford.
However, the family members of the innocent Camorra victim rejected the offer to the sender: "We trust exclusively in the decisions of the judicial authority. We ask for justice for those who turned off Giulio's smile", they said.
Tomorrow the preliminary hearing before the investigating judge of Naples Valentina Giovanniello.
"There is no price to repay Giulio's life: after 23 years, the only thing the family believes in is Justice, to which they have entrusted themselves".
This was underlined by the lawyer Alessandro Motta, lawyer of the Giaccio family, on the eve of the first hearing of the trial on the murder of Giulio Giaccio.
"The family - continues the lawyer Motta - asks for the most severe punishment for the protagonists of this horrendous crime, above all because they don't even have a relic to cry over".
