What about Umberto Ammaturo? I read that he was one of the biggest cocaine guys out there and was loaded with cash.


The Casalesi are a conderation of families (Zagaria,Schiavone,Bidognetti) Bardellino was the leader but not the boss. And in the Camorra everyone are king in his territory and as I said Zaza and Nuvoletta was made men and that give them prestigio but was powerful before get made. Ammaturo that married the lady camorra Pupetta Maresca was a freelance drug trafficker that operated from Perù but the fact that wasnt affiliated with any clan doesn't help him when was arrested and shortly after he flip.


As well as the Caselesi’s, would you say that the Zaza, Nuvoletta and Alfieri families rivaled or surpassed any of the 3 families in the Casalesi?
