Four people, believed to be affiliated with the Aprea Camorra clan , were subjected to arrest as a crime suspect as part of the investigation into the fire action committed last April 17 in the Barra district, eastern outskirts of Naples, during which she was injured a 25-year-old completely unrelated to the facts.
The Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Naples carried out the arrest, issued by the Dda of Naples, against 4 subjects seriously suspected of the crimes of attempted murder, possession and illegal carrying of common firearms, aggravated by the method and by the mafia purposes.
According to what has been reconstructed by the investigations carried out by the Investigative Unit and by the Company of Naples Poggioreale, the ambush is part of the armed conflict for the management and control of illegal activities in the eastern city by the Aprea clan , which together with the clan De Luca Bossa, Minichini Schisa, Casella and Rinaldi make up the mafia cartel called Alleanza di Secondigliano led by the Camorra families of Licciardi, Contini-Bosti and Mallardo .
The action, committed in broad daylight, in the crowd and with an uncovered face, was aimed at providing an outdoor demonstration of the military strength of the Aprea clanin order to guarantee the control of the territory through the immediate and blatant repression of any conduct that could question its power.
The suspects, in an attempt to hit the designated victim who had fled, voluntarily exploded, at man's height, numerous gunshots in the presence of numerous people present at that time on the street and injured the woman who was walking with partner. The woman was then taken and treated at the Ospedale del Mare.
The investigations developed over time have shown how the Aprea clan, established in the historic stronghold of Corso Sirena, is absolutely operational and equipped with a consistent availability of weapons, as also emerges from recent seizures, which confirms its dangerousness, strengthened by the alliance with the other powerful families of Camorra.

Police dismantle shrine to mafia boss
Wed, 28 April 2021, 4:29 pm
Police have arrested 21 people suspected of belonging to the Sibillo Camorra clan, on charges of mafia association, extortion, receiving stolen goods, drug dealing, prostitution, possession, and illegal carrying of firearms, a statement said.

The 19-year-old boss Emanuele Sibillo was the leader of a group of young mobsters.

He was the inspiration for writer and journalist Roberto Saviano in his book 'La paranza dei bambini' -- which in the Camorra jargon means group of armed children.

Sibillo was killed in an ambush in 2015 and the family placed his ashes in a building in central Naples, inside a shrine.

Some of the shopkeepers, who were victims of extortion by the gang, were summoned in front of the shrine, local media reported, adding one of them was forced to bow in front of Sibillo's bust.

From the first light of dawn the carabinieri of the provincial command of Naples are carrying out an order issued by the investigating judge of the Court of Naples at the request of the District Anti-Mafia Directorate against 12 affiliated to the Camorra group Cutolo, rooted in the Rione Traiano , a district on the western outskirts of the city. Among the arrested also members of the Sorianiello clan.

The suspects are seriously suspected of association aimed at drug trafficking, possession and sale of drugs, attempted murder and illegal carrying of weapons .

The investigations, conducted by the carabinieri of the Naples investigative nucleus and the Bagnoli company and coordinated by the Naples DDA, made it possible to document and reconstruct the activity of the criminal group, under the influence of the historic cartel of the Secondigliano Alliance .

The Camorra had links to Dallas, Major ports attract Italian organized crime syndicates, which operate in at least 19 U.S. cities, according to the Justice Department.

That's old news, read that a long time ago.

The Camorra needs its own Jerry Capeci, a Gangland News for Italian organized crime.

In the early hours of this morning, policemen of the Flying Squad and of the San Giovanni-Barra police station executed an order of custody in prison issued by the Gip of the Court of Naples, at the request of the District Anti-Mafia Directorate, against 37 affiliated to the clan Rinaldi, Reale, Formicola and Silenzio, all seriously suspected of mafia-type association crimes, attempted murder, extortion, possession and carrying of aggravated firearms.

Murder of Lorenzo Nuvoletta's son-in-law, encore arrests for the bosses of the Casalesi clan
A new order has been placed for the murder of Lello Lubrano. The man was the son-in-law of Lorenzo Nuvoletta and was killed by the Casalesi clan in November 2002.

Lello was the son of the chieftain Vincenzo , both linked to the Camorra of Marano. Lorenzo Nuvoletta's daughter married Lello Lubrano.

THE NAMES OF THE RESPONSIBLE
Michele Zagaria , born in San Cipriano d 'Aversa on 21 May 1958 and Giuseppe Caterino , born in San Cipriano d'Aversa on 19.01.1954. Respectively detained in the Sassari and Viterbo prison houses, the two are believed to be the principals.

Salvatore Nobis , born in San Cipriano d'Aversa on 10 November 1959 and Antonio Santamaria born in Cancello and Arnone on 29.12.1975. The two are held in the prisons of Tolmezzo and Viterbo. According to the prosecution, the two had the role of basisti with the task of following the victim during his travels, the so-called mirror operators.

The investigations made it possible to ascertain how the murder in question was born as a result of the expansionist aims of the Casalesi clan on a portion of the territory where an indigenous criminal association, the Lubrano-Ligato-Abbate clan, operated. This, over time, had often led to frictions, followed by strategic truces, at the height of which the Camorra summit of Casal di Principe prevailed by dictating its own rules. It also required the presence of their lieutenants and forcing "the villagers" to be satisfied with the management of criminal activities of lesser importance and fruitfulness.

As part of the same investigative activity, in the year 2020, a similar restrictive measure was issued against another associate: Francesco Schiavone born in 1953, alias Cicciariello, cousin of Sandokan .

Hit Against Euro Counterfeiters Linked To The Camorra
On 20 May 2021, Europol supported the German Regional Criminal Police of Nordrhein-Westfalen (Landeskriminalamt Nordrhein-Westfalen) and the Italian Finance Corps (Guardia di Finanza) of Rome and Naples in dismantling an organised crime group involved in the production and distribution of counterfeit euro banknotes, drug trafficking and tax fraud. Law enforcement authorities from the BelgianFederal Police (Federale Politie, Police Fédérale) and the French National Police (Police Nationale) also assisted the investigation. The suspects are believed to have ties to the Camorra mafia clan.

19 house searches (1 in Naples and 18 in Germany )
4 persons arrested (Italian nationals)
Seizures include various documents such as accounting records, IT evidence and €30 000 in cash
Judicial security order of €415 000 in total, issued by Germany
The criminal network is involved in the production of counterfeit euros in the area of Naples in Italy and their subsequent distribution in Germany.
The main suspect is also believed to be involved in the trafficking of different illegal commodities including drugs, stolen vehicles and falsified documents. He is suspected of distributing these illegal commodities, acquired by his associates living in Naples and connected to the Camorra.

During the course of the investigation law enforcement officers made several seizures including cocaine, an illegal firearm and counterfeit money for a value of about €160 000. This investigation also led to the first seizure of a counterfeit banknote of the new €100, just six months after its official release by the European Central Bank.

Europol facilitated the information exchange, operational coordination and provided analytical support. During the action day, Europol supported with technical expertise and cross-checked operational information against Europol's databases and the systems of the European Central Bank.

This investigation is part of the Italian DIA Project ONNET, an EU-financed initiative to tackle mafia-type organised crime groups active in Europe. The project was launched at Europol's headquarters and targets the mafia-style criminal groups in their entirety, rather than one or more of their specific criminal activities.

Headquartered in The Hague, the Netherlands, Europol supports the 27 EU Member States in their fight against terrorism, cybercrime, and other serious and organized crime forms. Europol also works with many non-EU partner states and international organisations. From its various threat assessments to its intelligence-gathering and operational activities, Europol has the tools and resources it needs to do its part in making Europe safer.

2 convicted of threats to Saviano, Capacchione
Casalesi boss Francesco Bidognetti, lawyer get suspended terms

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 25 - Two people were convicted Monday of Neapolitan Camorra mafia threats against Roberto Saviano, author of the Gomorrah exposé, and Rosaria Capacchione, a journalist who has also exposed the crimes of the Naples Mob.
The threats were made against Saviano, who has been in police protection since the publication of Gomorra in 2006, and Capacchione, who is also under police escort, in the Spartacus trial against the powerful Casalesi clan in 2008.
Those convicted were clan boss Francesco Bidognetti, who got a suspended sentence of 18 months in jail, and lawyer Michele Santonastaso, who got 14 months, also suspended.
Gomorra(h), which was turned into a 2008 film that won second prize at Cannes and subsequently a hit TV series, lifted the lid on the Casalesis and other clans in the Camorra, which is Italy's third-biggest criminal organisation behind Calabria's 'Ndrangheta and Sicily's Cosa Nostra.
"They were real death threats against us," said Capacchione.
(ANSA).

Raffaele Imperiale enters the list of the most dangerous fugitives in Italy!
Imperiale close associate of Rico the Chilean and Daniel Kinahan is said to live in Dubai for many years.

Interesting the historian Barbero traced the origins of the Camorra to the revolt led by Masaniello in Piazza Mercato on 7 July 1647 against the foreign occupier. It all began when the shopkeepers decided not to pay the tax imposed by the Spaniards, after which it unleashed the revolt of all the popular districts of the market.

The judge for the preliminary hearing of the court of Naples sentenced 3 members of the Casalesi clan to thirty years in prison.

This is the murder dating back to 1997. Giuseppe Setola , head of the Casalesi massacre wing, Aniello Bidognetti , son of the Casalesi chieftain Francesco Bidognetti known as "Cicciotto e Mezzanotte", and the clan exponent Giuseppe Dell'Aversano sentenced to 30 years.

The judge then inflicted 12 years on Cicciotto's other son, Raffaele Bidognetti. The collaborator of justice has allowed with his declarations, to the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Naples, to reconstruct the crime.

The murder is that of the painter Domenico Zippo , killed in Casal di Principe as part of the feud between the Schiavone and Bidognetti families. Zippo was walking in the very central Corso Umberto, when he was approached by the killers and killed with three gunshots in the chest.

Setola (defended by Paolo Di Furia) is in prison with numerous life sentences also for the 18 people killed in Caserta during the season of terror in 2008. The killer admitted that he was the material perpetrator of the crime, as was Giuseppe Dell ' Aversano, while the principals were Raffaele Bidognetti and his brother Aniello.

What is being referred to when the article mentions Casalesi massacre? The shooting of the African victims? Or some other event(s)?

Yes the massacre of the Blacks. The Castel Volturno massacre is the name given by the Italian press to a mass shooting perpetrated by the Casalesi clan that caused the deaths of seven people on 18 September 2008.

05 June 2021to to to
Ambush against two Italians in Ibiza: a 28-year-old man is very serious and another 35 was injured more lightly by shots fired from a car while attending a private party outside a villa in Santa Eularia. on the central eastern coast of the Spanish island of the Balearics.

The ambush took place in the night and the emergency services received the call around 2:30 am. The 28-year-old, hospital sources report, is hospitalized in very serious conditions and has undergone an operation to extract a bullet from the skull. The 35-year-old suffered minor injuries instead.

The command of the Guardia Civil of the Balearics reported that a car, carrying three people on board according to some witnesses, stopped in front of the villa where the party was taking place and one of the occupants lowered the window and opened fire. The car left soon after, running away. The staff of the Civil Guard of Santa Eularia, contacted by the AGI, stated that the investigations are ongoing and that it is not possible at the moment to provide further information. The attack took place in the Can Ramon district, near the industrial polygon of Ca na Palava. The villa where the party was taking place had been rented but it is not known whether the two injured are tourists or permanently reside on the Balearic island.

The person shot in the leg last night in Via Marco Aurelio in the 'heart' of the 'area called 44' of the Rione Traiano was the 48-year-old Ciro Di Napoli known in criminal circles with the nickname 'o muzzon. Di Napoli boasts precedents for drugs but, according to the latest information from the police, he would be considered the current regent of the Cutolo clan, an association active in the area of ​​44 and recently hit by a maxi blitz. Operation resulting from the statements of the former lieutenant of the clan, the repentant Genny Carra.

Two Neapolitan narcos were arrested with 20 kilos of heroin at Zurich airport. The couple were from South Africa. According to the official version provided by the Swiss agents, the movements of the two narcos would have been monitored since their departure from Italy to the African continent. In the background, the Tanzania-South Africa-Holland route: this is the heroin route run by the Nigerian mafia.
The shipment of heroin was destined for Amsterdam, the European terminal of drug trafficking. From there it would then be distributed to other countries.

And then, with regard to the affair, an agreement emerges that the Camorra and the Nigerian mafia (very rooted in Campania, especially in the Caserta area), would have closed for the supply, transport and distribution of drugs. Target? Flooding Europe with heroin, a type of drug given a strong recovery in consumption. Among other things, it is difficult to hypothesize that the two narcos acted without a powerful clan behind them. They are very young, anonymous, chosen precisely because they attract little attention.

If they're from South America then how are they Neapolitan? Makes no sense.

They travelled from Naples to South Africa picked up the dope and flew back to Europe on their stop in Zürich they were caught.

Blow to the Casalesi, 5 subjects arrested, including Walter Schiavone, son of the historical head of the "Casalesi" clan , Francesco Schiavone known as " Sandokan ". The accusations are Camorra-type association, possession and carrying in a public place of firearms and warfare. Then also the fictitious registration of company shares, illicit competition and extortion, aggravated by the mafia purpose.

The measures constitute the outcome of an investigation activity that made it possible to acquire serious circumstantial elements on the operations of a criminal group. The group is dedicated to the management and control - with extortion methods - of the distribution of dairy products in the territories of the province of Caserta. In particular the famous Mozzarella from the Camorra, the business managed by Walter Schiavone.

Tensions again very high in the area north of Naples, a 38-year-old, Salvatore di Caprio , was wounded in an ambush in Miano, a peripheral area of ​​the northern area of ​​Naples. Di Caprio is a well-known character he had been released from prison for a few months and in the past he was close to the Di Lauro clan, but after prison and the expiation of the sentence, Di Caprio would have changed the criminal circle approaching a clan of Naples.

Salvatore Marino captured by the police

the policemen of the Homicide Section of the Flying Squad captured Salvatore Marino , a 44-year-old Neapolitan recipient of an execution order for imprisonment issued last May 28 by the Attorney General at the Court of Appeal of Naples - Criminal Execution Office - as sentenced to the sentence of 12 years, 3 months and 16 days in prison for conspiracy to illicit drug trafficking exacerbated by mafia methods committed in 2006 in Naples.

The man, at the end of an observation activity, was located in via Monfalcone and, at the sight of the policemen, he tried to escape aboard a scooter but was promptly blocked. Salvatore Marino is considered an exponent of the Mazzarella clan.

How powerful was Di Lauro clan in comparison to other major Camorra factions? Like were they comparable to the Caselesi or were they a relatively small faction? They were very deep into drug wholesale and distribution in Scampia so I assume they must had some real money.

Cops save man condemned to death by mafia for fling
Camorra's intended victim had had sex with jailed mobster's wife

(ANSA) - NAPLES, JUN 21 - Italian anti-Mafia prosecutors and police have saved a man who was condemned to death by the Naples Mob for breaking its strict rules on extramarital sex.
The man got his death sentence from the cupola of the Camorra's Abbinante clan in Scampia because he was in a relationship with the wife of a jailed mobster, judicial sources said Monday.
Police arrested those who ordered the hit and those who were gearing to carry it out after the victim's grave had already been dug, the sources said.
The arrestees were boss Antonio Abbinante, his nephew Raffaele, and three 'soldiers': Antonio Esposito, Salvatore Morriale and Paolo Ciprio.
The intended victim was said to be "contiguous" to the Camorra organization.
The Camorra members planned to lure the man to the countryside between Marano and Arzano, near Naples, on the pretext of "working something out," police said.
Once he was there they would have shot him dead and buried him in the grave that had already been prepared, they said. (ANSA).

A man, Antonio Avolio, 30, was shot dead in via Teano, at the crossroads with via comunale Piscinola, on the outskirts of Naples. It seems that the man was approached by some strangers. The carabinieri arrived on the spot and are making the first surveys and working to reconstruct the exact dynamics of the incident.

Today is the second murder that takes place in the Miano district , in the north-western outskirts of Naples, in just over two months. In fact, on April 22, a 60-year-old was hit by some hitmen inside a room and shot dead.

Antonio Avolio was arrested in 2016 for extortion and released from prison in 2020. Now the carabinieri of the Stella Company and the Naples Investigative Unit are working to reconstruct his acquaintances in recent months.

Reduced sentence in Cassation (from 22 years to 9 years and 4 months) for the boss Antonio Orlando, better known as "Mazzolino". Orlando, in prison since November 2018 and detained under the 41 bis regime, is the head of the hegemonic clan of the same name in the municipalities of Marano, Quarto and Calvizzano. The man is also serving a three-year prison sentence for events (falsification of documents) dating back to the period he was on the run. A criminal organization that, over the years, has managed to incorporate two important mafia families: first the Nuvolettas, and then the Polverinos.

On Sunday the 65-year-old Amedeo Genovese died . The boss suffered a cardiac arrest while he was hospitalized in Parma, who was recently transferred there due to the worsening of his health conditions. Amedeo together with his cousin Modestino founded the Partenio Clan in Avellino.

Amedeo Genovese , recently assisted by the lawyers Mauriello and Danna , was serving a life sentence in the prison of the Emilian city, where he was detained from 2010 first to 41 bis then under high security following the conviction for the murder of the Camorra of Walter De Cristofaro. The bloody event took place in Serino on 12 July 2000 and Genovese was declared principal.

Nicola Cosentino was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment for external complicity in mafia association with the Casalesi clan. The former undersecretary for the economy and former regional coordinator of the Campania PDL was condemned by the judges of the fourth section of the Naples Court of Appeal at the end of the Eco4 trial. Judicial proceeding that takes the name of the consortium that dealt with the collection and disposal of waste in various municipalities of the Caserta area.

At first instance Nicola Cosentino , assisted by Stephen Mutton lawyers and Agostino De Caro, was sentenced to nine years imprisonment and perpetual interdiction from public office for collusion with the Camorra association with judgment of the Court of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, the November 17, 2016, after over 140 hearings. The request of the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office , expressed during the hearing on 9 December last, was 12 years of imprisonment.
