The Camorra turns to teenagers to enforce its rule of organised crime
Print edition | Europe Jun 22nd 2017 | NAPLES LESS than a hundred yards away, Via San Biagio dei Librai in the centre of Naples bustles with activity. Tourists buy souvenirs and munch pizza, oblivious to the meaning of the coded graffiti on the street’s peeling walls. But in a side alley, all is solemn hush. Beyond a door, in a courtyard, stands a tall metal cabinet displaying a ceramic bust of a young man, surrounded by fresh white roses. If not for his hipster beard and haircut, it could be the shrine of a long-dead saint.
The building that surrounds the courtyard is the redoubt of one of the many warring clans of Italy’s oldest yet least-cohesive mafia, the Camorra. The young man to whom the shrine is dedicated is Emanuele Sibillo, the archetype of a new breed of Neapolitan gangster. He was murdered in 2015 at the age of 19 in a nearby street that forms part of the territory of a rival crew.
Naples has seldom been free of turf wars. But recent months have seen a surge in violence. In 11 days, between May 25th and June 4th, eight people were shot dead in the city and its surrounding province. The police sent reinforcements to the area, even though the army had already been deployed. Much of the recent violence is the work of clans like the one led by Emanuele Sibillo and his brother. Some of these so-called “baby gangs” have members as young as 12. On May 24th the Carabinieri, Italy’s semi-militarised police, arrested an alleged “baby boss” who is only 16. The son of a jailed Camorra chief, the boy is accused of killing two of his subordinates last year. They had reportedly demanded a bigger share of the proceeds from drug-trafficking, which is the Camorra’s lifeblood.
As the head of the Italian state police, Franco Gabrielli, acknowledged, the baby gangs are a perverse result of successful policing. The courts have locked up so many veteran clan bosses in recent years that the task of holding Naples in thrall to the Camorra has fallen to ever-younger, more reckless affiliates. (If they are under 14, they cannot be held criminally liable for their misdeeds.)

Their favourite technique for asserting dominance is the stesa, a term that comes from stendere (“to stretch out”): the baby gang erupts into a crowded square, riding mopeds and firing at random, usually in the air. People dive for cover or prostrate themselves in fear of their lives. In a piazza in the Sanità area, a monument has been erected to another young Neapolitan. Genny Cesarano, aged 17, was fatally shot during a stesa in the piazza in 2015. After a recent spate of such shooting parties, the police blanketed the district with patrols and roadblocks. But there have been three more since. Carmela Manco, a volunteer social worker since the 1980s, recalls with a wistful smile the days when the Camorra would alert her in time to get children off the streets: “They rang us. A voice would say, ‘Attenzione, che piove’ [‘Watch out. It’s going to rain’]. Ms Manco runs L’Oasi, a sports and cultural centre in the San Giovanni a Teduccio district intended for children of camorristi and others close to the underworld. “We have kids here who can’t read or write, but sing Stravinsky,” she says. The aim is to keep the children off the streets so they do not drift into theft, drug-peddling or other routes to jail or an early death. The families are not always helpful. At one point the father of one of her charges murdered the father of another. San Giovanni a Teduccio has so far been free of baby gangs. But Father Gaetano Romano, the parish priest, wonders for how long. The dominant local clan has lately clashed with the Sibillo crew and its allies. “My fear is that there will be repercussions here,” he says. Underpinning the Camorra’s grip on the young is its ability to offer extremely lucrative work in a region where the employment rate among 15- to 24-year-olds is under 12%. A frequent complaint is that the Camorra provides the jobs that the state fails to. But, argues Francesco Grillo, a Neapolitan economist, Italian governments have invested heavily in Naples over the years. The only effect has been to sustain a ruling class all too often complicit with the Camorra.

The State Police have arrested the baby boss Alessio Angrisano, 20, sought since last January. A fugitive believed by investigators to head the clan of Vanella Grassi, also called the "shot" of Scampia: Angrisano was tracked down and captured by agents of Scampia police and the crime prevention unit in Villaricca (Naples).

14 ARRESTED IN SPAIN IN EU OPERATION AGAINST CAMORRA GANG
MADRID (AP) -- Spanish police have arrested 14 people in the northeastern city of Barcelona as part of a European operation against the Camorra organized crime gang.
The State prosecutors' office said there were also arrests in Italy and Germany in the Europol-coordinated operation Wednesday against drug-trafficking and money laundering.
Civil Guard police said 10 Italians, a Chilean, a Colombian, a Spaniard and a Venezuelan were arrested in Barcelona.
Police in Barcelona said several premises, including store rooms and restaurants, were being raided.
Officers arrested 18 suspects in Italy, 12 in Spain and three in Germany. Spain was their “strategic” location because they think they can go “about their business under less scrutiny”.
Salvatore Polverino aka "Toratto", son of the fugitive boss Antonio, was arrested along with a contractor, Antonio Visconti, for fictitious interposition of goods aggravated by the mafia method. His father has been sentenced to 25 years.

Many turncoats get tired of the wpp after a while and go back to their old lifestyle despite the danger. His brother, Luciano, had also repented. He started to rebuild the cartel that tried to take the place of the clan D'Alessandro in Castellammare.
The Carabinieri in the hinterland north of Naples arrested 10 suspects believed linked to the Camorra clans of "Orlando" and "Nuvoletta-Lubrano". The charges, for various reasons, are mafia-type association and extortion by mafia purposes. They discovered an arsenal with four Kalashnikovs, a machine gun, a rifle, 3 semi-automatic and about 600 cartridges found in a garage.
Great post Hollander. Crazy to think about kids as young as 12-15 being involved.
According to Saviano the greatest change in the Camorra is related to the generations. The heads today are delegating to very young people who control the territory. They give power to kids who are 15 to 20 years-old.
The 22-year-old Moroccan Enis Mahmoudi was shot dead friday night in Giugliano. The young man was believed to be close to the Paparella group and may have been eliminated on the order of the historic leg of the Secondigliano Alliance to stop the rise of the new group.
In Salerno a 35 year old was killed while on board his scooter. Ciro D'Onofrio, was approached by one or more killers, the ambush was late Sunday evening while there were several people on the street. Investigators look at different trails, including drug trafficking.
Arrested in Italy, a leader of the Neapolitan Camorra Giuseppe Simioli, head of the 'Polverino clan', lived on horseback between his country of origin and Spain
Efe / Madrid 28.08.2017 | 11:27 Agents of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard and the Carabinieri Weapon have arrested in Italy the leader of the "clan Polverino" of the Neapolitan camorra, Giuseppe Simioli, alias "Peruociolo", in search and capture since 2010 and that Lived on horseback between his country of origin and Spain.
According to the Directorate General of the Civil Guard, the arrested had four arrest warrants and faces in Italy requests for 24 years in prison for crimes of illicit association, drug trafficking and arms trafficking .
The first investigations against the clan began in the year 2009, when the Benemérita began to look for its clan leaders who lived between Spain and Italy.
After the arrest in 2012 of the leader of the band, Giuseppe Polverino, the agents focused their investigation on Giuseppe Simioli, who was suspected that had taken the reins of this clan of the camorra.
In order to obtain information about their whereabouts, the investigators focused the monitoring and control work on residents or temporary visitors in Spain who could maintain some kind of relationship with Simioli.
In this way, a woman who had a relationship with him was located and discovered that she alternated a month of residence in Spain with three in Italy and that she adopted several measures of security during her travels, such as constantly changing vehicles.
The same method continued in May of this year to travel from Barcelona to a locality to the south of Rome, where it was stopped thanks to the collaboration between the agents of the UCO and the Carabinieri.
Since 2008, the UCO has detained in Spain more than 100 members of Italian organizations - Camorra, "Cosa Nostra", l'Ndrangueta - and collaborates with the Italian security forces, who have detained more than 400 members of these Clans.
Two men shot dead in the center of Napels. The victims are Salvatore Dragonetti and Edoardo Amoruso, the latter brother-in-law of the Giuliano brothers, former bosses of the Forcella district.
Francesco Avolio, 43-year-old from Scampia called 'Tyson', was arrested for the murder of Gennaro De Roberto, an exponent of the Bellofiore-Sebastiano clan, that took place in Naples on 25 September 1996. Avolio was driving the motorbike that carried the killer who materially fired against the victim. He was at the time part of the so-called Secondigliano Alliance, a clan formed by the families Contini, Mallardo, Licciardi and Moccia.
The Camorra returns to Naples. An ambush in the night killed Nicola Notturno, 21, who was killed with numerous gunshots in via Ghisleri.
Known to law enforcement officers, Nicola was the son of Raffaele Notturno, a prominent feature of Scampia's scissionists. Above all, he was the nephew of Gennaro Notturno, known with the nickname of 'o sarracino, the boss repented less than a month ago and is rebuilding the "origins of evil" before the magistrates of the Dda of Naples.
Another murder Gennaro Verrano, 38, was shot dead in the Spanish Quarter. A real escalation of violence is what the capital of Campania has seen in recent months. In particular, in the Spanish Quarter is a clash between the various families once united with the powerful Mariano clan.
Blitz of law enforcement against the clan Lo Russo: 43 arrests Identified retailers of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and hashish in the districts of Miano, Piscinola, Marianella and Chiaiano and in the Don Guanella district. Among the arrested are Damiano Pecorelli and Salvatore Angelo Miraglia, defined by the collaborators of justice, traffickers of great thickness with important contacts in South America.
The Secondigliano Penitentiary Police Operations Unit arrested today in the Spanish Quarter Salvatore Melotti, 27, sentenced to four years and eight months in prison for drug trafficking and possession of false documents. Melotti is the son of Umberto Melotti, lieutenant of the Mariano clan who was killed in an ambush in 2005.
Five tons of smuggled cigarettes - "Marlboro" and "Chesterfield", all with foreign state monopoly marks, have been seized in Palma Campania (Naples) by the Guardia di Finanza, which also detained four people. The estimated value of "blondes" is about 2 million euros. They would have been sold on the clandestine markets of Napels, about 3 euros per packet.
Blitz anti-Camorra in the Ponticelli district in Naples, against 23 people allegedly responsible for a variety of breach of criminal association mafia, homicide, extortion, detention and illegal harboring of weapons, reception and fire with the aggravating of the mafia method.
The investigations, coordinated by the DDA in Naples, allowed to rebuild the rise of the De Micco clan, once the rib of the clan Cuccaro, which by the end of 2012 was imposed in the district of Ponticelli. For investigators, this is an autonomous organization, with all the features of a Camorra-style association, such as hierarchical structure, territorial control, squatting squares and extraterritorial activities.
Theinvestigations have allowed to reconstruct the criminal context in which the murder of Salvatore Solla and the attempted murder of Giovanni Ardu occurred on December 23, 2016, identifying the perpetrators and the material authors.
The episode is part of the war between the De Micco clan and Salvatore Solla, a former affiliate of the Sarno clan.
An ambush on Sunday carried out against Antonio Iorio, 55, in Afragola is likely part of a feud with the old leadership of the Moccia clan. Tonino was injured, but survived.
Some groups do, it's just a little step beyond the traditional tattoos of the Camorra with the guns, knives and knuckledusters intertwined with votive rosaries and other religious imagery.
A so-called Stesa in Naples. A random drive-by shooting by the Rinaldi clan in a show of strength against the new young leader of the Mazzarellas. Their enemies prefer black fashion so they are the blacks.

Carlo Avallone, 30, would have organized intimidation and ambushes in Naples to control drug trafficking. He is accused of murder attempts, raids on the fish market, shooting against a betting room, a supermarket and a car wash. He is also accused of organizing homicide attempts and drug control and extortion. He wanted to create a new clan, between Monteruscello and Licola, in the province of Naples. The territory, after the dismantling of the Longobardi-Beneduce clan and the arrest of Regent Gennaro Longobardi, would have become appealing for Carlo Avallone, together with a group of young people, he would try violently to take control of the squares and the extortion, wanting to create a new clan.

"O ghost" was inside a house with a man considered his right arm; he did not resist, nor tried to escape, letting himself be handcuffed. Six other people were arrested (3 men and 3 women) and a minor was reported: they will have to answer for personal aid.
In Bagnoli the boss's wife's car was attacked. The woman was injured in a shoulder but is not in serious condition. The ambush took place near Piazza Seneca. The victim of the incident is the wife of a man, formerly affiliated to the Cavalcanti clan and today - according to investigative sources - considered close to the clan Soprendente.
Gunshots were fired last night in Portici. The Carabinieri of the Compagnia di Torre del Greco intervened in via Cellini, where three holes were found on the entrance door of a building on the ground floor and on the glass of the porter's lodge. In the building lives a 38-year-old special security guard, considered the current regent of the Vollaro clan. Investigations are ongoing.

A killer commando killed Annamaria Palmieri, 55, a woman-boss with several criminal records for criminal association, drugs and property crimes. The victim's body was found with her face turned to the ground. The woman was executed with three blows to the face. Some of the woman's relatives warned the police. The area San Giovanni a Teduccio in Naples has long been the scene of a Camorra feud.
A woman was found dead in the San Giovanni a Teduccio neighbourhood of Naples, Monday night, in a brutal killing bearing the hallmarks of the Camorra clan warfare.

Armando Schiavone: arrested accountant of the Casalesi January 26, 2018 Armando Schiavone will have to serve a sentence of over 9 years imprisonment Armando Schiavone was arrested by agents of the Caserta Mobile Squad. Since last November, his tracks had been lost. Now, he will have to serve a sentence of nine years and three months imprisonment for mafia-type criminal association. Not only. In fact, the other charges that hang on his head are the criminal association aimed at the abusive exercise of gambling and betting activities, illicit competition with violence and threats and money laundering. In addition, there is the aggravating circumstance of having favored the Casalesi clan .
Schiavone was arrested in Cercola, in the province of Naples. But it does not end here. In fact, at the time of the arrest, the man was in the company of two subjects. Both were reported to the judicial authority for personal aid aggravated by the mafia purpose.
Strax if you read parts of Antonio Iovine's testimony you will see that the Casalesi were on the same level as the Sicilians. It was Iovine who killed Ciro Nuvoletta.
Iovine has also told prosecutors that the Camorra was able to build a lucrative criminal empire with the collusion of corrupt politicians across the political spectrum, but now he wants to create a new life.
“I began co-operating so I could have a better future, to turn my life around,†Iovine said during four hours of video evidence on Friday.
The former boss recounted details of corrupt politicians from the Left and Right, including a former local mayor, Enrico Fabozzi, from the centre-left Democratic party of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Mr Fabozzi is accused of having colluded with the mafia
I think Hollander was talking about 2000-2010 period,not the 1980's. If we are talking about that period, i agree they were on same level as Sicilians,Casalesi are more like Sicilian Mafia family ,rather than a camorra clan.
I don't know how powerful they are nowadays,but they are for sure one of most powerful in Naples.
I remember reading Roberto Savianos book Gomorrah. He said the Corleonesi didnt want any war with Casalesi cause they were to powerful. Dont know if thats bullshit or not but thats his word.

If he meant on Corleonesi from 1980's with Toto Riina,Bagarella etc. ,that is total bullshit , they went to war with everyone who didn't obey their rules.

If i remember correctly that story is backed only by Raffaele Cutolo himself and he is crazy , like totally insane.
I never read that story was backed by someone else rather then Cutolo, i don't believe him for a bit. Toto Riina didnt give a shit for anyone,im sure he would shot him without thinking for a second.

Cosa nostra tried to kill Antonio Bardellino a few times, but failed each time. Anyway the Corleonesi and Casalesi are still close.
Hollander do you believe Antonio Bardellino is alive? According to some witnesses he is alive in South America. And since his body was never found,i am very sceptical
Doggystyle i never managed to find whole testimony only parts from various newspaper articles.

No idea if he's alive, the Bardellino family still has some influence it may be a family secret. Maybe some day they talk about it on wiretaps. Angelo Bardellino, son of Ernesto and nephew of Antonio, was sentenced last year to seven years.
You're right you need to google it to read what Iovine testified.
The statements of the former boss of Casalesi have contributed to shed light on the murder of the traffic policeman Antonio Diana, killed at 30 in San Cipriano d'Aversa (Caserta) 11 February 1989. Eliminated because considered a traitor. Seven people were arrested for the murder in 2016.
Also you have to remember Bidognetti's nephew Gaetano Cerci was close to "Il Puparo" Licio Gelli, head of P2. Michele Bidognetti now leads the faction of his brother, but was arrested in 2016.
If he meant on Corleonesi from 1980's with Toto Riina,Bagarella etc. ,that is total bullshit , they went to war with everyone who didn't obey their rules.
saviano is sometimes a bullshitter, if he thinks cutolo or casalesi were even close to sicilian mafia in the 1980s lol totò riina declared war even to italian government casalesi were part of cosa nostra and they obeyed to riina like the others
How big is the Camorra when it comes to Counterfeiting. Can they come close to the Asian crime groups? I know when it comes to fashion they are pretty big but in everything else?

What r u 5 yrs. old??..dont read it if it upsets u..cmon..
I've posted this a dozen times, are you saying this was bullshit?
“The Nuvolettas are the only family outside Sicily that sits in the cupola, the high command of Cosa Nostra. Not simply allies or affiliates, they are one of the most powerful groups in the bosom of the Mafia, with structural ties to the Corleones. So powerful—according to pentito Giovanni Brusca—that when in the late 1990s the Sicilians decided to plant bombs all over Italy, they asked the Marano clan for advice and cooperation.
The Nuvolettas thought the idea was crazy, a strategy that had more to do with political favors than military results.
They refused to participate in the attacks or provide logistical support, a refusal expressed without any hint of reprisal.
Totò Riina personally implored the boss Angelo Nuvoletta to corrupt the judges in his first mass trial, but here too the Marano clan refused to help the military wing of the Corleone family.
During the feuds within La Nuova Famiglia, after their victory over Cutolo, the Nuvolettas sent for Giovanni Brusca, the boss of San Giovanni Jato and the murderer of Judge Giovanni Falcone.* They wanted Brusca to eliminate five people in Campania and dissolve two of them in acid. They called him the way[…]â€
Also, I'm sure you seen this before, about the three mafias working together, not everyone doing the bidding of the Sicilians? Seriously, where are you getting this?
“The Casalesi cartel’s strength has always been its ability to handle large drug lots without needing to feed an internal market. They are “present on Rome’s vast drug market, but more significant is their role in the sale of huge consignments.
The 2006 acts of the Anti-Mafia Commission indicate that the Casalesi were supplying the Palermo families with drugs.
( This, I believe is or was true, because of what we saw with Old Bridge in 2008. Sicilian Mafiosi traveling across the Atlantic to meet with high level Gambinos, who were large scale Narcotics traffickers since at least the 70s, maybe more like the 50s. All of them with connections to the Cupola in Sicily. They likely were tired of going through Camorra middlemen. The Gambinos had interest in Venuezuela, I've recently read the Piromallis are there too, probably in partnership with those old school Gambinos and the Caruana Clan...)
Alliances with Nigerian and Albanian clans meant they no longer had to be involved in direct peddling and narcotrafficking operations. Pacts with clans in Lagos and Benin City, alliances with Mafia families in PriÅtina and Tirana, and agreements with Ukrainian Mafiosi in Lviv and Kiev liberated the Casalesi from bottom-rung criminal activities. At the same time the Casalesi received privileged treatment in investments in Eastern Europe and in the purchase of cocaine from Nigeria-based international traffickers.....
So, yeah I think for a time they were stronger than the mafia as far as their ability to generate liquidity. By their own account, they don't share the same philosophy with the Sicilians. It seems to me the politicians have less power in Naples than in Sicily. Naples has always been about the black markets, like moving product, more than extortion in collusion with corrupt politicians.
Put it this way, to my eyes the Sicilian mafia has been the strongest when it operated like the Naples gangs, family controlled narcotics syndicates.( Both the French and Pizza connections seem to be like Golden Ages during those time periods. Hell, throw the Calabrian coke avalanche in there too. The only other comparable times to me were the sack of Palermo, all that concrete money. And the old Citrus wars between the Grecos). It seems that's when they make the most money.
How would you rate the counterfeit business vs the extortion business? Equal? More for extortion? Very curious.....

A lot of this stuff reminds of the sack of Palermo, this was big money.....
“Current investigations reveal that construction companies connected to the Casalesi clan have infiltrated the TAV or high-speed-train works in the north, just as they have done in the south. A July 1995 investigation coordinated by Judge Franco Imposimato revealed that the large companies that had won bids for the Naples-Rome leg of the TAV then subcontracted the work to Edilsud, a company connected to none other than Michele Zagaria, as well as to dozens of other companies linked with the Casalese cartel. A deal that yielded about 5 billion euros.
“Investigations show that the Zagaria clan had already reached an agreement with the Calabrian ‘Ndrangheta about their firms’ participation in the bidding in the “the event that the TAV were to get as far south as Reggio Calabria.
“Officially there are 517 construction companies in Casal di Principe. A great many of them are direct emanations of the clans, and there are hundreds more in the area, an army ready to cement over anything. The clans have not blocked development in the area, but rather rerouted the benefits into their pockets. In the past five years, veritable commercial thrones of cement have been built in just a few square miles: one of the largest movie theater complexes in Italy in Marcianise; the largest shopping center in southern Italy in Teverola; and the largest shopping center in Europe in Marcianise—all within a region with extremely high unemployment that is continually hemorrhaging emigrants. Enormous commercial complexesâ€
“Just the real estate assets seized by the Naples DDA in the last few years amount to 750 million euros. The lists are frightening. In the Spartacus trial alone, 199 buildings, 52 pieces of property, 14 companies, 12 automobiles, and 3 boats were confiscated. Over the years, according to a 1996 trial, Schiavone and his trusted men have seen the seizure of assets worth 230 million euros: companies, villas, lands, buildings, and powerful automobiles, including the Jaguar in which Sandokan was found at the time of his first arrest. Confiscations that would have destroyed any company, losses that would have ruined any businessman, economic blows that would have capsized any firm. Anyone but the Casalesi cartel. Every time I read about the seizure of property, every time I see the lists of assets the DDA has confiscated from the bosses, I feel depressed and exhausted; everywhere I turn, everything seems to be theirs. Everything. Land, buffalos, farms, quarries, garages, dairies, hotels, and restaurants. A sort of Camorra omnipotence. I can’t see anything that doesn’t belong to them.
This doesn't strike me as disorganized. I think what you guys mean is that they don't have as many Masonic connections and ties to corrupt politicians. (Also they are horizontal, not vertical like the other two.) But they seem to not really care about politicians favors as being able to make deals with them.
And they do marriages, rather than initiations, since it's based on family. Everyone else is like hired employees, maybe not even actual clan members. To my eyes it's very similar to Mexican cartel federations......
A 41-year-old from San Cipriano d'Aversa, Salvatore Lionetti, was arrested by the police for an attempted extortion of one million euro against an entrepreneur in the province of Modena. Lionetti, called 'O Zingarone, ended up in handcuffs with a 59-year-old AS, considered the principal, and with a third person, considered the mediator. Lionetti, a resident of Castelfranco for some years, is an old acquaintance of law enforcement. On November 30, 2007 he was injured in a leg in a shooting in the center of Castelfranco.. In October 2015, Lionetti was sentenced in first instance to 5 years and 4 months for the Camorra crimes committed in 2010, as part of the investigation into a group in which the leading figures were Alfonso Perrone called 'O Pazzo and his right-hand man Sigismondo Di Puorto, boss of the Casalesi.
CabriniGreen if you look the assets seized to sicilian mafia are even bigger than camorra, sicilian mafia in sicily owns hotels, construction firms, garbage enterprises, supermarkets, bet agencies, slot and video poker machines, countryside lands, discoteques, restaurants, every sort of shops etc. saviano doesn't know so much about sicilian mafia, he only focus on camorra and a bit of ndrangheta the fact that camorra sometimes supplied sicilians with cocaine it doesn't mean it was stronger also the fact tha casalesi and nuvoletta are members of cosa nostra shows like sicilian mafia had a big influence in campania and not the opposite sicilian mafia is more linked with politician and freemasons camorra have people scattered abroad but not whole crime families like the sicilians i don't know who generates more money between counterfeit goods and extortions anyway
Iovine has begun to talk and no one knows when he will stop while in Naples as in Rome many are worried about the new revelations. The new contributor said, among other things, that he managed the clan cash register until 2008 "that every month Casalesi could count on about 350 thousand euro of income without counting the personal income that each boss could get." Iovine recalled: "I managed to raise all my business between 130 and 140 thousand euros a month, I had the burden of paying at least 60 thousand for salaries but at least 70 thousand remained for me a month."
I dont understand.. Here we're reading about the billions these bosses make etc but still the boss of bosses Antonio Iovine says he got 130-140 thousand euros a month, of which he only got 70 thousands for himself.
you should understand that the billionaire earnings of mafia bosses is usually bullshit, ant this applies to italian mafia, russian oc, mexican cartels, chinese triads or whoever the bosses who really earns very much are few, people like pablo escobar, el chapo or matteo messina denaro, the others much less than people use to think
That what i am talking to him for a long time , i said numbers of times that what media reports billions and billions are total bullshit. Probably Matteo Messina Denaro is one of top bosses by $ in Italy or even Europe
I know mostly about Albanian crime figures because i have a lot of albanian friends who lives in that life and some of them has cousins who plays in the big league of Albanian organized crime and some of them are quite big players themselves. I know for a fact the Osmani brothers in Hamburg are easily worth a billion dollar. People who have worked for them and with them has told me that they have a legitimate buisness thats worth about 3-400 million euros but thats nothing compared to the money they make owning Casinos and St Pauli, Reepeerbahn.
So i believe there is many bosses who has big money like 1 billion and over but not on their name. Because every Albanian i've met who got a name in the life, they tell me the Italians are on another level, not on violence part but on the money part.

Indeed,i meant on individuals in organized crime. But i still think the figures some media reports like 100 billion + for 'Ndrangheta is bullshit. Some of them reports 10-15 billions , some around 40(mostly saw this one) and again i saw some reports saying 150 billion which is absurd. I dont think all 4 italian mafia groups pull that much money
matteo messina denaro is really worth to billions, police seized almost 1 billion in assets from him but the bosses with so much money are few i didn't know the osmani brothers were so rich
Antonio Mele, 57, and Biagio Palumbo, 53 , were shot dead in a car in Naples Wednesday in an apparent Camorra hit. The ambush took place in the Miano quarter, local sources said.
I never heard osmani brothers are worth that much, so far i heard its around 300-400 millions.
Their legitimate buisnesses is worth that, their casinos, construction companies etc. But they also own all the red light districts in Hamburg and are heavily involved in drugs. One of the brothers runs a Shipping company(i wonder for what).
And still i dont think they are on the same level as Camorra/Ndrangheta bosses for example
In May 2011 Italian police seized more than a billion euros in suspected Polverino clan assets "including construction companies, luxury villas and cars, vast tracts of land, shell companies, bank accounts and even butchers and bakeries"
more than a billion dollars seized from the Polverino clan and i dont belive these assets are divided into all of the members in the clan but only a few.. And thats only what the police have seized there was probably much more PLUS its the Polverinos, they are nowhere near the Zagarias,Iovines,Di Lauros etc.
Camorra boss 'depressed' by tough jail regime (3) Casalesi chieftain Zagaria 'suffering from 41 bis'
(ANSA) - Caserta, February 9 - Michele Zagaria, a top boss in the Casalesi clan of the Naples Camorra mafia, has been diagnosed with severe depression due to the tough '41-bis' prison regime for Italian mafiosi, one of his lawyers said Friday. "It's really too hard for him," said Angelo Raucci of Zagaria's alleged mental problems brought on by the jail regime. "As a protest Zagaria has revoked me and my colleague from some trials, obviously for some proceedings in which he has decided not to defend himself any more," said Raucci. Zagaria, 59, is one of the main bosses of the Casalesi clan from Casal di Principe in the province of Caserta northwest of Naples. He is nicknamed Capastorta, which translates to wrong-head, because of his violent reputation. He was on the "most wanted list" of the Italian ministry of the interior from 1995 until his arrest in 2011, for Camorra association, murder, extortion, robbery and other crimes. The Casalesi clan are the ones who have forced anti-mafia writer Roberto Saviano into round-the-clock police protection.

The 41 bis regime prisons in Italy, are they similar to the Supermax prisons in USA? I find it wierd that in Italy where there is so much corruption and the Mafia has such power these prisons exist.
Read about Paolo Di lauro and i must say that he is a fucking badass.. His answer to the tough 41 bis regime was that he himself wanted no contact with his family nor his lawyers just to show the Italian state that he dont give a fuck.
That's precisely what I mean.... These are usually hard numbers, and assets you can TOUCH. I don't think these numbers are made up. And you see it pretty regularly with these drug clans.
Like the Polverinos from what I understand were a cadet branch of the Nuvolettas, kinda how DiLauro started as a lieutenant for another boss, LaMonica, I think. And they are saying they took a BILLION off of em. These people were the most sophisticated street traffickers I've heard about. They let the COMMUNITY, like regular people invest in cocaine like a STOCK,(!!!!) and they paid out. So they always had a ready source of capital to make large buys, it's like skimming a union with no Union.
I don't get the less organized thing, honestly.....
(Also, These clans in their prime, I'm not talking about 2018, were running huge retail operations that were serving, ALL OF EUROPE, they came from all over....they were making really big money...)
“The Nuvolettas, in cooperation with the Nettuno and Polverino subclans, also altered narcotraffic investment strategies, creating a popular shareholding system for cocaine. A 2004 Naples DDA investigation revealed that the clan was allowing everyone to participate in the acquisition of cocaine via intermediaries. Retirees, workers, and small businessmen would hand over money to agents, who then invested it in drug lots. If you invested your pension of 600 euros in cocaine, you’d double your money in a month. The only guarantee was the middleman’s word, but the investment proved regularly advantageous. The profit far outweighed the risk, especially compared with what one would have made in bank interest. The only disadvantage was organizational: small investors were often required to stash pats of cocaine—a way to distribute the supply and make it practically impossible to confiscate. By involving the lower-middle class, who were far removed from criminal activity but tired of trusting the banks with their assets, the Camorra clans increased the amount of capital available for investment. The Nuvoletta-Polverino group also metamorphosed retail distribution, making barbers and tanning centers the new cocaine retailers.
The 41 bis regime prisons in Italy, are they similar to the Supermax prisons in USA? I find it wierd that in Italy where there is so much corruption and the Mafia has such power these prisons exist.
The prisoners are kept in isolation for 22 hours a day,  except one hour in the open air in a cage and another one for limited contacts with three others selected prisoners. They have a right to a one-hour-long family visit per month behind a glass partition or, alternatively, to a 10-minute phone-call. Communication with legal advisers is also restricted.
In Holland we have one extra secure prison with a similar regime.
Antonio Mele, 57, and Biagio Palumbo, 53 , were shot dead in a car in Naples Wednesday in an apparent Camorra hit. The ambush took place in the Miano quarter, local sources said.
Palumbo was Carlo Lo Russo right hand man in the golden age of the Lo Russos and Antonio Mele the strategist of the clan. Both were released a few months ago after many years of detention and currently considered close to the boss Pasquale Angellotti, also returned free for a long time. The Lo Russo brothers turned state's evidence.

The judiciary is investigating the Casalesi clan and the alliance with the Albanian mafia for the control of Northern Italy.
they mean only the province of modena (emilia romagna), not the north as a whole casalesi are strong in emilia romagna and lazio, in the rest of the north not so wealthy, ndrangheta is by far stronger and also sicilian mafia in certain areas
23 million confiscated from the Casalesi clan in Rome. The Gdf had ascertained the existence of a real joint-venture in the field of slot machines between members of the Casalesi (Iovine group) and Roman organized crime figures (Guarnera group), in turn in contact with members of the Banda della Magliana.
I wonder one thing, does the Iovine family still have power now that Antonio has snithed.. I mean when a boss turns informant dont the whole crew go down in the other bosses eyes?

Drugs from Colombia and the Netherlands directly to Naples, to supply the capital of Naples but also Tuscany and Lazio. This is the criminal network dismantled by the police, on investigations coordinated by the DDA, which led to the arrest of 16 members of a group active in the international traffic of cocaine, hashish and maijuana connected in business dealings with the Camorra clans of the eastern area of ​​Naples. During the investigation, also seized an arsenal with guns and machine guns. Relations with Colombia, Spain and the Netherlands were stable, where agreements were signed for the purchase and transport of drugs in Italy. Once arrived on the national territory, the drugs were destined to feed the squares of Neapolitan drug market.
Do they still come from all over Europe to mainland Italy to buy the cheap drugs off the street?
I was always under the impression that the Naples gangs had the biggest and best open air drug markets on the streets of Italy. Combined with the counterfeit markets, giving them a high level of liquidity on the streets. The Sicilians had access to NYC and are the most entrenched in Italian politics, whereas the Calabrians are the biggest in Northern Italy (the financial center) have the best relations with South America ( Colombia) as well as overall controlling the most territory.. ( Canada, Australia, north Italy, Germany....)
I see the three syndicates as having different strengths and weaknesses.
Camorra probably have biggest open air drug market in whole of Europe. In some regions in North Italy , the sicilian mafia is more powerful than 'Ndrangheta,about infiltration into politics i think we can say 'Ndrangheta reached same level as sicilian mafia,both organizations are heavily involved in politics , buying votes etc. For instance Gianni Alemanno the mayor of Rome was involved in buying votes with help of mafia capitale and Mancuso 'Ndrina
Raffaele Russo, his son Antonio and his nephew Vincenzo Cimmino are three Neapolitans who disappeared in Tecalitlan, 700 km from Mexico City, from last January 31st. The three were in Mexico to sell Chinese products purchased in Naples. The latest news that relatives have of the three Neapolitan traders date back to December 31 when, through audio notes, the three made known that they were escorted by the police and did not know where they were going.

Meanwhile, the Mexican Public Prosecutor has asked the Italian authorities for the criminal record of the three "We have asked for the criminal record from Italy, both the disappeared and the three people who were with them," said prosecutor Raul Sanchez Jimenez in a interview with the press.

He got off well because 7 bullets were fired at him, but the killers fell off the motorbike and took refuge in a nearby building.

The Camorra raised its head: 182 clans and over 4 thousand affiliates Data in the six-monthly report of the Anti-Mafia Investigation Directorate by Fabio Postiglione
The Neapolitan Camorra has an army of boys ready to do anything to conquer an alley, a square and an entire district. "Nighttime excursions, shootings, patrolling the territory," as in a war. Impressive numbers that the Anti-Mafia Investigation Directorate has enclosed in the semi-annual report sent to Parliament, which photographs the state of organized crime throughout Italy.
And Naples, with its province, beats every possible record: number of arrests, seizures, investigative initiatives, inspections, investigations. There are 182 clans, 100 of which only in the city and over 4 thousand between bosses and affiliates. "We are witnessing the fragmentation of organized crime" typical of the city center that registers districts with hardly beatable records. They are the ones with the greatest presence and Camorra infiltration with respect to the population density. Between the Quartieri Spagnoli and the Sanità district, passing through Forcella and the Decumani, there are 26 Camorra groups, more or less aggressive, which are opposed to the search for space to do business. But changing the area does not change the numbers. Between Secondigliano and Scampia there are 11 clans that divide the millionaire collections of drug trafficking. A total and devastating fragmentation of the Neapolitan camorra that recruits young and very young among their ranks to do business. "There is a generational discomfort that affects young people, for whom the criminal models proposed by the clan continue to exert a strong attraction, representing an easy tool for the conquest of power and wealth. Precisely these young people represent an inexhaustible catchment area for criminal organizations, where they recruit manpower to be used for drug dealing, extortion and, in some cases, even for the consumption of homicides. representing an easy tool for the conquest of power and wealth.
To this plethora of aspiring camorristi, is added the ranks of boys who belong to mafia families and are started, by the same parents, to criminal activities, still children, "writes Dia. In the province the fracture of the big gangs that took place in Naples has not registered in a striking way and so rooted in the territory continue to do business in total silence, strong of a large chunk of people who do not report. The Moccia in Afragola, the Mallardo in Giugliano, the Polverino in Marano, the Amato-Pagano in Melito.
Wow..Nicola Schiavone turned State witness, Nicola is a son of Francesco "Sandokan" Schiavone. Having been the head of the clan for a decade after the arrest of his father, Nicola Schiavone knows many secrets about the clan's business dealings and its riches.
Wow..Nicola Schiavone turned State witness, Nicola is a son of Francesco "Sandokan" Schiavone. Having been the head of the clan for a decade after the arrest of his father, Nicola Schiavone knows many secrets about the clan's business dealings and its riches.
Walter Schiavone follows his brother! The other brothers, Ivanhoe, Emanuele Libero and Carmine have instead rejected the possibility of relying on the protective wing of the State.The repentance of Nicola Schiavone, created a real earthquake in the Casalesi clan and in particular in the boss family.
Even in prison for many years the super boss Mario Fabbrocino would maintain close ties with powerful clans of Naples.Fabbrocino is one of the promoters of the so-called Nuova Famiglia, the criminal organization born at the end of the 70s in antithesis to the NCO of Raffaele Cutolo. He is also a cousin of Carmine Alfieri the most important camorra turncoat.

Italy: Naples Arrests 72 Suspected Mafiosi for Drug Dealing
Hundreds of officers of Italy’s military police force arrested 72 alleged Naples mafia members who are suspected of having sold cocaine all over the Naples area, mainly near churches, schools and arcades, Napoli Today reported on Monday.
Prosecutors say the suspects belong to various clans of the Napoli-based Camorra and were involved in the production, trafficking, possession and sale of drugs — mostly cocaine and its crystal form crack.
The detention warrants for “Operation Whitestone†were issued by the court of Naples at the request of the local antimafia prosecutor’s office and carried out in Naples and the nearby provinces of Avellino and Caserta.
Following the demise of the Fava clan in 2013, various crime groups from around Naples started taking over drug-dealing areas that were up for grabs.
The drug hotspots were near churches, schools, main squares, town halls, recreational clubs and arcades, Caserta News reported.
The investigation into the drug organizations, clans, and subgroups started in February 2015 and took two years to complete, using turncoats, telephone taps and spy cameras.
A central event in the investigation was a “punitive assignment†against one of the suspects who was accused by his associates of having kept a large amount of drugs for himself.
While the retaliation had been planned in full detail, prominent members of the Vollaro clan from Naples’ Vesuvius area intervened and the mafioso was spared.
The wiretapped phone conversations show a complex code language and wide array of nicknames to prevent identification such as “la Signora,†“the Viking,†“the Mexican,†"the Surveyor,†“Diablo†and “Pistola.â€
When referring to drugs, the suspects used culinary terms — including Napolitan specialties — such as aperitivo, pastiera, sfogliatelle, oranges and grappa barricata.
In order to request drugs, the dealers would ask to “set the table,†"prepare the crib,†or “put on children’s shoes†and when discussing the quality and quantity of drugs, the mafiosi talked about “10 euro stamps,†the “A series,†“the fireplace being good,†and “how many guests to bring.â€
In Caserta a man was shot dead in a car. Nicola Picone, 26 years old, would be affiliated to the Casalesi clan. As reported by Il Mattino, he is a loyalist of the son of Sandokan, Carmine, detained since 1998. The Carabinieri of Aversa intervened after being informed by the owners of the distributor Agip that, at the opening, they noticed the car parked and the corpse inside. The investigation is coordinated by the DDA of Naples. The Neapolitan newspaper speculates that behind the murder there is a strong tension in the criminal board of Agro-Aversano, also due to the recent repentance of one of the sons of the boss Sandokan, the first son Nicola Schiavone. There are other reasons for friction: from the release of several affiliates to the various factions of the Casalesi clan. But it is early to establish whether the murder is the preamble of a new Camorra war in the Casertano.
The former boss of the Casalesi clan, Michele Zagaria, has been involved in incidents of violence and threats in prison even to the director of the detention facility of Milan Opera, as well as to some psychiatrists. During an interview with a doctor the former boss said: "The director is like a garbage bag and I throw it out." Zagaria is also accused of having slapped an agent, causing injuries, and to have destroyed the cameras that kept him in check in the cell. A few months later, Zagaria was transferred to another prison, together with another inmate chosen to start a social path with him.

It has often been said that the Camorra did not take part in the massacre season, those organized by the mafia and completed in 1992-1993. Objectives of Cosa Nostra were considered pieces of the State, as were the judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. Yet, despite the Camorra (for several reasons) was excluded from participation even in the early stages of the negotiation between State and Mafia, were several meetings that, according to some collaborators of justice, took place in prison. Meetings in which the Campania criminal organizations participated. Among the others, Pasquale Galasso, who in 1992, before his repentance, was transferred from the Salerno prison to the one in Spoleto. Here concentrated the top of the Campania and Sicilian underworld. Guys like Michele D'Alessandro, Valentino Gionta, but also Pippo Calò.
Angelo Orlando was arrested in Maremma, he's the brother of the fugitive Antonio Orlando, aka "Mazzolino", head of the powerful criminal organization operating in the area north of Naples. The Camorra clan Orlando are associated with Nuvoletta and Polverino, today hegemonic on the territory of Marano (Naples),
A collaborator of justice close to Cosa Nostra, Fabio Lanzafame, a Syracusan entrepreneur, will be heard in the trial in Aversa of Nicola Inquieto, the entrepreneur who according to the DDA of Naples recycled in Romania the money of the Casalesi boss Michele Zagaria, creating a real estate empire worth tens of millions of euro. Lanzafame, considered to be linked to the Catanese clan of the Santapaola and the Siracusan gangs, will have to report the alleged contacts with Inquieto for investments to be made in Romania, and the contrasts arose with the entrepreneur, who would bring a close representative of the Caserta boss to go to Pitesti, a city in Romania where Inquieto lives and works, to smooth the conflict.
Earlier this month Vincenzo Mazzarella died in prison two months after his brother Ciro.they were nephews of the famous Michele Zaza. The clan is close to cosa nostra
There was a deafening, surreal silence in Marano after the arrest of the last great boss Antonio Orlando , for all Mazzolino, regent of the homonymous clan. While the local and national press was committed to spreading all the details of that clamorous arrest, to which the Dda Neapolitan and the Carabinieri of the Provincial Nucleo have worked for years, the rest of the city was silent.
Not a word from the new mayor Rodolfo Visconti and his administration, no applause to the weapon by the mayoral candidates who until a month ago declared for the law now and always, silence also from that more extreme left that he made the fight against the Camorra one of its flags. The only ones to underline the importance of yesterday's operation, which inflicted a very hard blow - yet another - to the Orlando clan, were the 5-star Andrea Caso, and the mayor of Quarto.
The same politicians who two days ago shouted with posts, videos, press releases, their initiatives No to violence against women, today on the violence of the Camorra had nothing to say. Only silence, so subtle and yet so tangible. Almost as if there had been a mourning or a tragedy. Why this silence? Fear, fear, not wanting to expose? No. Behind this silence there is probably only silence. Despite the dozens of arrests, the investigations on crime and politics - which often went hand in hand - the dismantling of entire criminal families, Marano still exceeds the desire, desire, even the hope of a ransom. We prefer silence, not exposing ourselves, turning away from the other side, looking only at our own interests, rather than taking a clear, clear position against the Camorra.
And as long as you Marano there will be this blanket of silence and silence, they will also be able to arrest all the Orlando, Polverino and Nuvoletta underworld in this city, but things will never change. And from tomorrow, while the Orlando clan will return to reorganize itself, we will return to talk about the holes in the asphalt, the waste, to pay the extortion, to greet respectfully the Guappo on duty. In silence

A Mafia boss of the infamous Neapolitan Camorra will complain for a while that he organized a Christmas dinner for his friends and family yesterday. The man was arrested in his hiding place by the police. That reports the local newspaper Il Mattino. Twenty or so agents fell into a house in Castellammare di Stabia, a coastal town near Pompeii, yesterday evening and picked up Gentile. The 34-year-old Giovanni Gentile is suspected of being the boss of the clan in the Agerola region, which is part of the agglomeration of Naples.
Murders dropped in Napels in 2018, only 6 related to organized crime, police captured 20 fugitives, the last of whom was Antonio Orlando. However the Camorra is not defeated, it remains strong, it is a group of flexible companies that often invest capital in all economic sectors. There have been important investigative results but the phenomenon is not eradicated. The Camorra remains strong and must be resisted even in its ability to infiltrate the public administration.
