Camorra Mafia boss Raffaele Imperiale arrested in Dubai https://gangstersinc.ning.com/blog/camorra-mafia-boss-raffaele-imperiale-arrested-in-dubai

Most wanted drug trafficker arrested in Dubai
Raffaele Imperiale, 46, on the run since 2016

(ANSA) - NAPLES, AUG 19 - One of Italy's most dangerous mafia fugitives, top Camorra narco trafficker Raffaele Imperiale, was arrested in Dubai on August 4, sources said Thursday.
Imperiali, 46, on the run since 2016, has reportedly been living a lavish life in the UAE capital.
Imperiale had an older brother who died in 1996 and left him a coffeeshop in Amsterdam from where he began his criminal career.
In his coffeeshop Imperiale sold soft drugs and was reportedly involved in large-scale cocaine trafficking with the Dutch drug trader Rick van de Bunt.
In the 1990s he was introduced by Antonio Orefice, a member of the Neapolitan mafia's Moccia clan, to Elio Amato, brother of Raffaele Amato, at the time one of the top drug traffickers of the Di Lauro clan. Imperiale began to earn millions of euros, becoming the pointman of the Di Lauro organization that dealt directly with the drug trafficking cartels in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia.
According to Italian authorities, Imperiale was living high on the hog in Dubai and spending €400,000 a month to maintain his lavish lifestyle.
In 2016, two Van Gogh paintings stolen from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in 2002 were recovered in a villa in Castellammare di Stabia, his hometown near Naples, owned by him.
DEA documents sent to Dutch police exposed an alleged super drug cartel headed by Imperiale, Ridouan Taghi (former Dutch most wanted criminal, now in jail), Daniel Kinahan (Irish reputed gang boss) and Edin Gačanin (Bosnian drug trafficker).
The group was observed by the DEA having meetings in the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, the base of the alleged cartel in 2017. The DEA regards this as one of the world's fifty largest drug cartels, with a virtually monopoly on Peruvian cocaine and controlling around a third of the cocaine trade in Europe.
(ANSA).

Rick van de Bunt , a friend of Mink Kok, was one of the lesser-known major drug dealers from Holland. He was liquidated on the streets of Madrid in 2008.

Former Camorra repentant Carmine Amoruso was preparing the murder of Raffaele Carrillo along with the men in his new clan. The murderous plan of the Amorusos was thwarted by the timely identification of the sources of evidence regarding the collection of weapons and the rapid issuance of the arrest order that prevented, in fact, anticipating it, the execution of the fire action by the new clan.
Raffaele Carillo, who was held responsible for wanting to carry out fire actions against them, belonged to the rival criminal gang headed by Rosario Giugliano who operated in Poggiomarino.

Imperiale was close to Taghi, Kinahan and the most important european drug dealers

In particular with Rico the Chilean Imperiale faces only a 8 year sentence Rico will be out a few years later, they probably have tons of money stashed away/invested. He was the pointman for Raffaele Amato aka The Spaniard, leader of the Scissionisti.

Antonio Zarra,25, with criminal records for drug dealing, was shot dead in the neighborhood of Pianura, Naples

Imperiale is believed to be one of the leaders of a 'super-cartel' which controls a major portion of Europe's lucrative cocaine trade.

Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) documents sent to Dutch police identified Imperiale, Dutch mobster Ridouan Taghi, Bosnian criminal Edin Gačanin, Richard 'El Rico' Vega and Daniel Kinahan as the heads of a so-called ‘super drug cartel.’

the boss Salvatore Astuto, 57, was shot to death in Naples

Michele Guarro was wounded in the legs and abdomen by several gunshots in Torre Annunziata, Naples. According to what is learned, the wounded man, believed to be close to the Gionta clan of the Camorra.
This probable ambush by the Camorra comes less than two hours after the ambush that took place in Naples in the market area where Salvatore Astuto, 57 years old and close to the Rinaldi clan, lost his life. According to what is learned, the man was killed with about 20 gunshots. In the market area, the Rinaldi clan contends for the management of the territory with the Mazzarella clan and it seems that the ambush is actually linked to the long feud between the two Camorra gangs. In particular, this latest episode would be linked to the management of the drug market at Levinaio.

On Sunday Francesco Immobile, 35, was shot dead in Torre Annunziata.

Mafia, arrests in Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia: with threats and extortion they controlled fairs and economic activities
The blitz triggered in the provinces of Udine, Venice and Pordenone: armed punitive expeditions were discovered against those who were not subject to the hegemony imposed by the head of the criminal group

September 15, 2021

TRIESTE. The Anti-Mafia Investigative Department and the Trieste Economic and Financial Police Unit carried out a precautionary custody order in prison during the night against numerous people accused, for various reasons, of extortion aggravated by the mafia method. The suspects allegedly "forced - with repeated intimidating behaviors - numerous Friulian and Venetian street traders not to exercise their entrepreneurial activity and in order to prevent the regular running, in Bibione (Venice), of the well-known summer fair called" I Giovedì del Lido del Sole ”», reads the device.

The objective of the accused was to be able to obtain direct control of economic activities and thus condition the free market and the economic and social development of the renowned tourist resort. "Particularly significant - underlines Dia - some episodes in which punitive expeditions with weapons were organized against those who did not submit to the hegemony imposed by the head of the criminal group also in other fairs of the Friuli-Veneto coast". Searches of men and women of the territorial departments of the police, the carabinieri and the financial police and the military of the 8 Engineers Regiment of Legnago are still in progress in the provinces of Udine, Venice and Pordenone.

Morra: "The blitz makes politics reflect"
"My thanks to Dia, the Finance Police and the DDA of Trieste for the operation that saw dozens of arrests for extortion aggravated by the mafia method in eastern Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia", says Nicola Morra, president in a note of the Parliamentary Anti-Mafia Commission. "The picture that emerged from today's operation - he continues - is that of infiltration by the Camorra in a territory that was thought to be immune, and this very belief of impermeability to certain phenomena is the serious mistake of those who consider themselves invulnerable". According to the president of the Parliamentary Anti-Mafia Commission, it is now necessary to urge the attention and sensitivity of citizens, of economic operators to denounce, to immediately put a stop to these mafia degenerations ». «Trieste - he reflects - which seems so far from the territories typically hit by criminal phenomena, demonstrates how the attention of politics must never fail or be deluded by hypothetical zones of immunity. The Anti-Mafia commission could plan an upcoming mission to Trieste precisely to investigate in depth what is happening and to give a concrete sign of presence and closeness to the healthy and honest civil society that does not bow its head ".

In the high-security prison of Frosinone, southeast of Rome, an inmate shot at three fellow inmates. The firearm was delivered to the shooter by drone.

After obtaining permission to shower, a 28-year-old Neapolitan prisoner, a member of the Camorra, pointed a firearm at the guard. He then tried to open the door of a cell containing three fellow inmates. When that failed, he shot through the bars at the men, who miraculously remained unharmed.

Mobile phone
The shooter then called his lawyer using an illegal cell phone. He managed to convince him to hand the firearm over to the hastily summoned guards.

The Neapolitan's attack came after he had been mistreated by his fellow inmates a few days earlier.

CCTV footage showed that the man's firearm had been delivered to the window of his cell via a drone.

The case has caused a stir in Italy. The country has the most overcrowded prisons in the European Union.

Can't say I blame him, lots of fucked up shit goes on in prison.

Camorra and politics, the Review denies Luigi Cesaro's home revocation
Of internapoli -2 October 2021231 0

The Naples Review Court rejected the petition for revocation of house arrest issued against Forza Italia senator Luigi Cesaro. Press sources make it known. The precautionary measure was issued at the beginning of September as part of an investigation by the Naples DDA on the Puca di Sant'Antimo clan, where the parliamentarian (defended by lawyers Alfonso Furgiuele and Michele Sanseverino) was born 69 years ago.

Investigators challenge the senator and his family about relations with the local criminal organization. The execution of the precautionary measure issued for the accusation of external competition in the Camorra association remains suspended until the decision of the Giunta for the authorizations to proceed from the Senate.

Camorra mafia boss Raffaele Amato is reportedly among the figures to feature in the Pandora Papers, a huge leak to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) of secret documents regarding people who use offshore dealings in tax havens.
The documents provide details about a shell company, registered in the United Kingdom, that Amato used to buy land in Spain, the ICIJ said.
Amato, the leader of the 'Scissionisti' Neapolitan mafia clan involved in a bloody mafia war in 2004 and 2005 whose story helped inspire Roberto Saviano's award-winning book, movie and TV series "Gomorrah," is serving a 20-year prison term.

The Naples Review Court has decided that Raffaele Imperiale must remain in prison. The request for revocation of the precautionary measure advanced by Imperiale's lawyers was rejected. For the prosecutor of Naples, which filed new documents, Imperiale was not a "simple drug supplier" but " one of the pillars on which the entire Camorra organization of the Di Lauro clan splinters rests ". According to the magistrates without his connections "the Amato clan would have disappeared or perhaps never existed".

The investigations into Imperiale also led to the identification of the drug trafficker's contacts with the criminals believed to be at the head of drug cartels involved in the so-called Mocro War in the Netherlands and Belgium, which resulted in over 40 deaths. These are Taghi Ridouan and Riquelme Vega. The first awaiting trial, the second taken in Chile in 2017 and extradited to the Netherlands where he was recently sentenced.

The DDA also produced the statements of numerous collaborators of justice, first of all Carmine Cerrato, right-hand man of the boss Lello Amato, who told of the encrypted codes with which they spoke to each other, of “disposable” mobile phones.

The Amato Pagano clan without Raffaele Imperiale , the Campania drug trafficker of international standing arrested at the beginning of last August in Dubai where he is still today and for which an extradition request has been forwarded, would have lasted shortly, perhaps not even existed . For the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office, in fact, Imperiale, with his partner Mario Cerrone , who was also the recipient of a simultaneous arrest warrant in prison for criminal association of a Camorra type, is not a "simple drug supplier" but "one of the pillars on which the whole Camorra organization of the 'splinters' of the Di Lauro clan rests ”.

Carmine D'Onofrio, 23, was shot dead in Naples;he was the nephew of the boss Giuseppe Luca Bossa

Imperiale was the “protagonist” of a serious road accident while driving a Ferrari in which one man died, the claim was made in new documents filed by Italian prosecutors as part of their case against drug trafficker Imperiale.

According to prosecutors, one of Imperiale's associates, who was behind the wheel of a Lamborghini, was also involved in the fatal crash in Spain. But according to one informer who is co-operating with Italian authorities, Imperiale abandoned his Ferrari following the crash - despite the fact it was worth a six-figure sum.

"He did not show disappointment that the prestigious cars had been destroyed, as he had a lot of money,” the informer has claimed.

The details are included in statements given to Italy’s Direzione Investigativa Antimafia ('Anti-Mafia Investigation Directorate'), also known as DIA, from numerous “collaborators of justice”.

Collaborator of justice, Gennaro Carra , revealed particular background regarding the bosses of the Rione Traiano Raffaele Imperiale and Mario Cerrone . The son-in-law of the boss Salvatore Cutolo after the capture chose to repent and speaking of the two leading exponents of the Traiano Camorra said: " They also wanted to buy Serie A club Napoli ". The circumstance is also reported in the precautionary custody order in prison against the two. According to his words, Imperiale and Cerrone had indescribable economic power. In fact, the repentant to the investigators said: " They had a crazy economic availability ".

I wish Jerry Capeci would do his Gangland News thing on these guys lol, Ndrangheta, Cosa Nostra, and Sacra Corona Unita too. It would definitely breathe new life into his website.

In fact, there should be a Gangland News - Worldwide lol

Giuseppe Fiorillo, 19, was shot dead in Naples; he was close to the Di Lauro clan
