At dawn this morning the Carabinieri of the Territorial Department of Nocera Inferiore together with the soldiers of the Provincial Command of Salerno , of the Torre Annunziata Group and of the Ferrara and Potenza Companies carried out a precautionary custody order - issued by the Salerno GIP on request from the local Prosecutor's Office, against 36 members of a mafia-type criminal association operating in the Agro Nocerino Sarnese and in the Province of Naples.
The raid arose from the existence of serious indications of guilt towards the suspects for having set up a Camorra clan self-defined as a " family " due to the kinship ties that bind the main suspects and at the top of which is Dario Federico di Boscoreale who - as the GIP writes - "already convicted as leader and promoter of a mafia-style criminal association in 2007, he moved his criminal interests from the historic location in Pompeii and Boscoreale, assuming criminal control of the Scafati territory" together with the convicted criminal Salvatore Di Paul .

According to the accusatory hypothesis, the Clan, by virtue of the intimidating force also provided by the availability of firearms mainly supplied by Domenico Tamarisco , a member of the Nardiello Clan of Torre Annunziata , managed the drug dealing squares of Scafati , also engaging in extortion activities on the same territory and neighboring areas.

According to the accusatory reconstruction, shared by the GIP, the group already subject to previous investigations by another judicial office as it operated in the District of Naples and in particular in the areas of Pompeii and Castellammare di Stabia , had moved to the nearby territory of Scafati following the power vacuum related to the arrest carried out in December 2021 of alleged exponents of a mafia group linked to Franchino Matrone , acquiring supremacy over other criminal groups operating in the same territory to the point of being called to intervene to regulate the Camorra's territorial competences and the " runnings" carried out by other groups that had trespassed into the settlement territories.

Ten extortion episodes carried out by affiliates of the clan were deemed proven: among these we note the extortion carried out inside the tourist port of Marina di Stabia carried out in sensational ways, i.e. through a so-called " lay " perpetrated by subjects who went to the site on large-displacement motorcycles.

It should be highlighted that 5 people avoided the execution of the precautionary order while at the same time the Economic and Financial Police Unit of the Guardia di Finanza of Salerno executed an order for the seizure of registered immovable and movable assets, economic activities and financial relationships for a total value currently estimated at approximately 3 million euros.
