Andrea Teano, considered a member of the Cimmino-Caiazzo clan in the Vomero district of Naples, was arrested by the Carabinieri. The man, a fugitive, was hiding in a house in Pianura, a district on the western outskirts of the city, where the Carabinieri found and seized money and numerous "pizzini". Teano is accused of trying to impose a bribe of 3 thousand euros a month to the holder of an association that deals with the transportation of sick people.
