NAPLES > CHRONICLE

It was the safest, armored, security-proof place. A place where one could discuss, close agreements and sign peace, that between two cartels that - at least from the end of the nineties - mark the town's black chronicle, we talk about Mazzarella against those of Secondigliano. And this is how the mortuary hall of the Ascalesi hospital becomes, in the eyes of an eighty-year-old Camorrista, a decisive place to define strategies, draft a truce, witness the handshake that lies behind the great division of the racket into Naples, let's talk about the lace imposed on the (infinite) works of Via Marina, on the construction sites (buildings) that mark the circulation from Via Vespucci to San Giovanni a Teduccio. It is one of the background to the investigations culminating in the arrests of Carmine Montescuro , 84,, the «peacemaker», the «power of the port», the «Switzerland» of the town Camorra, to read the papers of the 23 arrests of two weeks ago. And it is in the pages destined to the evaluation of the Court of Review, that we discover the expedient used by the boss of Sant'Erasmo to start the great agreement, the non-aggression pact between the Mazzarella and Secondigliano clans, in view of the big cake of the works in via Marina.
