police arrested 24 members of the Mazzarella clan based in Naples and surrounding areas on charges of mafia-type association, drug trafficking, extortions, money laundering and illegal possession of weapons. The investigations by the Carabinieri directed by the DDA also revealed the growing interest of the Mazzarella clan in the hydrocarbon trade and distribution sector. A trend on which, just a week ago, the spotlights of the Ministry of the Interior had been focused, which had highlighted the existence of a pact between the Camorra and 'Ndrangheta for control of the black market
It seems that there has also emerged a growing interest on the part of the Mazzarella clan in the fuel trade and distribution sector, seen in requests for protection money from an entrepreneur in the sector and in the acquisition, by a franchisee, of a fuel distribution business in the Fuorigrotta area, near the Maradona stadium.
The activity of marketing smuggled cigarettes also appeared to be of particular interest to the clan, as well as the direct and indirect management of the main drug dealing squares in the eastern area of ??Naples.
