Camorra mob boss Raffaele Imperiale has revealed how he lost 600-kilo cocaine bound for Sydney in Australia with no idea where it went.
However, the former Kinahan cartel partner who has turned ‘pentito’ (supergrass) told Italian authorities the failed expedition was a calculated risk that did not stop his activity.

During an interrogation in the Court of Naples, Imperiale, connected by videoconference from the prison where he is being held, was responding to questions posed by deputy prosecutor Maurizio De Marco.

Imperiale, who has already handed over an island in Dubai to the Italians as part of his collaboration with justice officials, explained how the operation proved to be a failure as the cargo was lost.

According to Imperiale, the two containers containing the drugs may have disappeared in Naples or Gioia Tauro, where the ship carrying them had stopped before leaving for Sydney.

Imperiale told how the Australian market is particularly profitable with an investment of between €7-8 million returning as much as €90 million.

Imperiale had six months to prove his commitment to telling all after declaring his wish to be a ‘pentito’ last October, in a move that is likely to have left the Kinahans sweating.
