Camorra mafia boss Raffaele Amato is reportedly among the figures to feature in the Pandora Papers, a huge leak to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) of secret documents regarding people who use offshore dealings in tax havens.
The documents provide details about a shell company, registered in the United Kingdom, that Amato used to buy land in Spain, the ICIJ said.
Amato, the leader of the 'Scissionisti' Neapolitan mafia clan involved in a bloody mafia war in 2004 and 2005 whose story helped inspire Roberto Saviano's award-winning book, movie and TV series "Gomorrah," is serving a 20-year prison term.
