The Chief Prosecutor of Naples: "There are two Camorra groups, the 'economic' one, which moves on the dark web and the one which dedicates itself to 'laying down'"
The dark web is the new frontier of the Camorra, " an evolved Camorra ". Word of the chief prosecutor of Naples Nicola Gratteri, who - during a training course for journalists organized by the Campania unitary union at the "Bixio" barracks, in Monte di Dio - spoke about the Campania mafia.

“ Only a few days ago - the magistrate recalled - we closed an investigation which, at a national level, went almost unnoticed, despite its importance: an investigation into the international laundering of something like three billion euros that passed through Italy , Latvia and Lithuania through a global network of shell companies. An investigation that describes well what the evolution of the mafias will be ”.

On the risks linked to the distorted and illicit use of IT resources, the Naples Prosecutor's Office has equipped itself with a task force of specialized magistrates on the subject, who - explained the prosecutor - " to penetrate these phenomena must think exactly like hackers do . Specialists are needed. And, in our case, it is not easy to have them, because the public administration pays little ."

“ In Naples - added Gratteri - there are two Camorra groups: the first, very advanced, is strong in entrepreneurship and has conquered the tertiary and large-scale distribution markets. 'economic' Camorra, which moves on the dark web; then there is the one who dedicates herself to doing 'bending', an unthinkable phenomenon in Calabria that the 'Ndrangheta would never allow because it must live by social consensus. In Calabria these young men who shoot wildly would disappear into thin air the next day ”.

“ In Naples - said the former Catanzaro prosecutor - I distributed delegations and made the sections aware of illegal construction and pollution. I would like an acceleration on these issues. Illegal building is complicated, let's look for example at what happened in Ischia last year: everywhere people built in dangerous places. The mayors say they don't have the funds to demolish hundreds of illegal buildings, but I am committed to demolishing them. In Catanzaro I did the same by going to the regional councilor for the environment and telling him: 'There are 250 illegal apartments that have been ordered demolished by the judge'. It worked and they were shot down. My goal now is to try to do it in Naples ,” he concluded.
