Characters
At the head of the group were Gennaro Catuogno 'or squirrel and Aniello Di Biase. Speaking of Catuogno was the penitent Giuliano Pirozzi : «He is my wife's uncle, as my mother-in-law and his wife are sisters, so I know him perfectly.


I had family as well as Camorra relationships with Gennaro Catuogno. He was with me one thing in criminal affairs. " These are some of the statements taken from the deposition of Giuliano Pirozzi, the white collar of the Mallardo clan, in the trial against Francesco Mallardo, known as o 'chiatto, accused of insurance fraud with the aggravating circumstance of having favored the Mallardo clan.

Of 'Paparella', since October there is no news, O 'Scoiattolo had a particular bond. And it is clear from the words of the collaborator of justice Giuliano Pirozzi . «Together with Michele Di Biase they were a steady couple, by nature he was a great camorrista.

Not only that he was a man of confidence and was one of the architects of the victory of the Mallardo clan over the Maistos, so much so that he said in the last period, together with Michele Di Biase and others, strong of their past, they had been put a bit like senators for life. They only sent him money and had power over everything. "

It all started in 2014, when the leaders of the Mallardo clan ended up in jail.

From that moment, taking advantage of the power vacuum, the Palazzine group, which until then had remained on the sidelines, decided to contravene the order of the Ciccio Mallardo boss and started selling narcotics in the territory.

Several families joined in the new business: the Di Biase family, led by the boss Michele called Paparella, his son Aniello, Gennaro Catuogno known as' o scioiattolo, the d'Alterio alias Piripicci, the De Simone, the Marano and the Smarrazzo.

This is the nucleus of the new criminal group that, through the sale of drugs and extortion, has made its way from 2014 to today, first reaching an agreement with the historic group of Mallards with which it then went into conflict sparking a feud that led to ambushes, purges and murders.


The first to fall was Michele De Biase, who disappeared in October 2015.


His car was found in the Vasto neighborhood in Naples stained with blood. Even today there is no trace of his body. From that moment on it was a succession of events of blood, interspersed with a pact of non-belligerence between the opposing factions lasted very little.

The three groups agreed to divide the extortion activities on the territory, to make common cash and to share the profits. "The Mallards had tolerated the activity of the group of buildings - write the magistrates - but over time the contrasts had intensified for the management of illicit activities and for the division of the relative proceeds, frictions which then led to the long trail of blood starting from the ambushes to Michele di Biase, his son Aniello and Catuogno ”.

These criminal episodes are framed by the magistrates of the DDA as a real internal purge wanted by the old bosses for two reasons: both because they had violated the order to sell to Giugliano and because the boss Ciccio seems to have been afraid that Michele Di Biase could acquire more power and undermine leadership in the territory.


Among those arrested there is also Davide Barbato: he was arrested in March last year in Giugliano because he was surprised in possession of a semiautomatic caliber 9 parabellum pistol with abraded serial number and 10 cartridges in the magazine that he kept hidden in a video recorder in disuse in the basement and will be sent to the racis of Rome to verify its possible use in facts of blood or intimidation.

A 'respectable' criminal curriculum, to use a eufemisco, that of Domenico Chiariello, involved in the assault on the supermecato Sisa di Qualiano that led to the death of the young Giuseppe D'Aniello and the arrest of his accomplice Francesco Sarracino.


The Salerno Surveillance Court has allowed to expiate the residual sentence, another 4 years, in a community of recovery for drug addicts of the territory. Despite the heavy charges against him (2 aggravated robberies, possession and possession of 2 clandestine weapons with abridged matriculation and receiving of scooter number plates, ed), he left the Eboli prison.


In September 2015 the 35-year-old from Giugliano was sentenced to eight years in prison by the court of Naples North. The prosecutor's request was for 12 years of imprisonment, but the investigating judge considered that a lower sentence was applied, also due to the benefits of the reduction of one third provided for by the Abbreviated procedure.

Then in the Court of Appeal in Naples he obtained a penalty discount, receiving a sentence of 6 years and 8 months in prison.

Ernesto Cuciniello , the only one in the wild, was nevertheless known to the chronicles for the 2008 arrest when he was arrested for the robbery at the Banca Intesa San Paolo branch.

Even Pino Mele he is a well-known character. The young man is known for having committed a robbery in the province of Treviso, together with other accomplices, in which they shot a jeweler who had tried to react to a robbery, seriously injuring him and forcing him to a long hospitalization.

The story, especially in the area where the coup occurred, is having a wide media coverage because all the authorities of the coup are on the loose, also due to the slowness of Italian justice.

A criminal story that has also intertwined with a bloody event in Qualiano on May 31, 2014, when one of his accomplices in the robbery in Treviso, the 22-year-old Giuseppe D'Aniello, was killed while trying with an accomplice to take away the collection of the Sisa supermarket in Via Di Vittorio, by a carabiniere free from the service.

Despite the sentence of 10 years for the coup in Veneto, then reduced to 7 years in Appeal, Mele was practically at large, because he had never been to the institution to which he had been entrusted, but was actually domiciled in fact at a his aunt in close contact with the underworld in which he grew up.

Which then led him to try to make the "qualitative leap" by approaching one of Mallardo's local ras, Michele De Biase, which exposed him to the police investigation that stopped him and hunted him in this period.

Francesco Di Nardo, and Crescenzo Panico 'o Pippone were already in the cell because they were involved in the order of the Palazzine group which led to the zeroing of the rebel cosca.

The reasons for the Demerger


"The splitters were hunted by the same Mallards because they violated the order not to sell to Giugliano".

The division within the Mallardo clan was actually a purge wanted by the historical leaders of the cosca because they disobeyed the order to pass off in Giugliano.


The rift between the historical group and the emerging one of the Palazzine is above all on the control of the drug market. The latter would have created a drug dealing business in Giugliano, which has always been banned by the bosses Francesco and Ciccio who have, over time, preferred to become "middle class" by investing illicit capital in activities in the economic sector.

Around him he joined the discontented of the Mallardo clan, those who in the course of time had been excluded from the historic criminal family and young offspring who took the bones out of theft and robbery.

His head lift, and that of his father, has not been frowned upon by the historic group of Mallardo.In the last year there have been several police and carabinieri operations in the territory of the third city of Campania,


Some of those arrested are linked, directly or indirectly to one of the two factions, while others work in autonomy from the underworld, taking advantage of the lack of tight controls that was there before. In the past, in fact, those who were found to be dealing without authorization to Giugliano were beaten or even shot.
