The news of Giuseppe Simioli 's repentance could have a disruptive effect on the 'System' of Marano, already, orphan of the historic bosses. 'O Petrucelo could tell the secrets of the clan who led and managed the drug trade for years. In 2008 he became the right hand of Giuseppe Polverino , the chieftain nicknamed called Peppe 'o Barone.

He and 'o Baron were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Giuseppe Candela. The sentence was pronounced in December 2019 by the Court of the Assizes of Naples. Candela was murdered in the center of Marano, in July 2009, on the specific order of the boss, who had decreed his death during a summit in Spain.

On behalf of the Polverinos, Simioli took care of the hashish traffic on the Spain-Italy axis, taking care of all phases. From the collection of money, the so-called puntante, passing to the negotiation of prices, to the payment, to the withdrawal of the drug. Finally, then, to transport and distribution in the Italian channels.

His trips to Spain were frequent to take care of the trafficking in person, as well as to be close to his loved ones. For years he had led a double life, in fact, he kept a wife and a child in Marano and at the same time he had an affair with a Hispanic-Brazilian with whom he had 2 children. In the province of Rome he was taking a hiding in the countryside, conducted in a personal resort built in the countryside complete with a hot tub.

After the arrests of recent years, the Orlando-Nuvoletta-Polverino criminal group can consider itself seriously in trouble. On November 27, 2018, Antonio Orlando, aka Mazzolino , boss of the homonymous clan who became a fugitive 15 before, was arrested. On November 8 of the same year, the handcuffs were also triggered for Angelo Orlando , accused of having contributed to the operation and strengthening of the Orlando clan.
