Schiavone's stories against the businessman friend of politicians. The DDA wants him to testify
Sandokan's son said he never knew Pino Fontana personally but knew that he was close to Michele Zagaria

The collaborator of justice Nicola Schiavone
He doesn't know him personally, but he knows that he is an entrepreneur close to Michele Zagaria . This is what Nicola Schiavone , a former scion of his father Sandokan at the head of the Casalesi family, declared for about a year as a collaborator of justice on the position of Giuseppe Fontana , an entrepreneur from Casapesenna but transplanted to Caserta, involved in the Medea investigation which also embroiled several Caserta and Neapolitan politicians.

Schiavone's report was deposited by the DDA in the entrepreneur's appeal process which is taking place in Naples to ask for the renewal of the hearing investigation. In the coming days, the Court will decide whether or not to listen to the collaborator of justice via video link as requested by the Attorney General at the request of the DDA of Naples.

Schiavone told the magistrates that he knows the brothers of Giuseppe Fontana (known by all as Pino), with one of whom he also attended the Amaldi high school in Santa Maria Capua Vetere together. And on Pino's position he claims to have indirect knowledge "for having told me all the top exponents of the clan, in particular Giuseppe Misso, Nicola Panaro, Oreste Caterino, Antonio Iovine . I don't remember - he adds - having also spoken about it with Michele Zagaria as it constituted such consolidated news within the clan about the recognizability of these Fontana brothers and Michele Zagaria that there was not even need to talk about it between him and me ".

Rosario Giugliano known as 'o Minorenne and Nicola Francese remain in prison as decided by the Court of Review which rejected the appeal of the defense.
Rosario 'o Minorenne , a sixty-year-old from Poggiomarino, and Francese are accused of being the perpetrators of the ambush committed on 13 April last in San Marzano sul Sarno, against Carmine Amoruso, injured following 14 pistol shots.
Amoruso, also a native of Poggiomarino, had spontaneously left the protection program granted to him a few months earlier. The former collaborator of justice returned to the territory, settling in the Nocerino Sarnese countryside.

another ambush in Naples, Antonio Esposito, 49, close to the Soccavo clans, was shot dead in the neighborhood of Pianura

What is going on in Naples , this is like 4th killing since begging of year.

Manna goes back a long time, back in 1988 he was wounded in a sensational ambush in Casalnuovo in which two people were killed: Angelo D'Alife, 28, and Angelo Fico, 24. Manna, who was 24 at the time, was wounded in the legs together with another person.

"A real boss in a skirt", the repentant speaks of Marianna Giuliano
From
editorial board

Marianna Giuliano, 45, daughter of Forcella clan chief Luigi Giuliano and wife of boss Michele Mazzarella , is defined as "a real boss in a skirt" arrested today on charges of having ordered the murder of Salvatore Lausi, the cashier of the clan found guilty of having made disappear a box entrusted to him containing 100 million lire. According to what emerged from the investigations of the carabinieri, Michele, from prison, sent letters to the affiliates, even to the regent of the time Eduardo Bove (sentimentally linked to Anna Giuliano, sister of Luigi Giuliano). After the murder of Bove (killed on 5 January 2005) it was Anna Giuliano who delivered some letters to the investigators. In the declarations made on 11 July 2007, a collaborator with justice, Michelangelo Mazza , defines Marianna Giuliano as "a real boss in a skirt".

"She has always followed the story of the Mazzarella clan in a top position - explains the "repentant" - remaining a little aloof at her husband's important meetings". Then when Michele Mazzarella was locked up in prison, the repentant still explains "... his wife played a dual role, representing the communication channel between the Mazzarella clan and Michele who continued to be the boss, dictating directives and murder mandates..." but, he adds, Marianna "...was able to decide on her own and manage the illicit activities of the ordinary clan”. This, according to Mazza, also put her in strong contrast with the regent Bove and other top elements. Bove even attempted a split due to Marianna Giuliano, who received from 35,000 to 60,000 euros a month from the clan, as well as shares from the proceeds of drug dealing, video poker and some extortion.

He was killed in 2002 for a shortfall of 100 million lire, money that the Mazzarella clan had entrusted to him and that he was supposed to keep at home but which had disappeared from that presumed safe place. And her sister, to find out who had taken them, even asked a fortuneteller for enlightenment.

Her father nicknamed "'o rre" (the king) was one of the most famous bosses in history due to his links to Diego Maradona.
In 2002, he decided to collaborate with Italian law enforcement and became a pentito, a co-operating witness against organised crime.
There were many attempts to "pollute" Luigi Giuliano's collaboration with the judiciary, recently Luigi (73) told media that Paolo Di Lauro offered him a billion lire to make him accuse the other Camorristi.
The Giuliano clan was on such bad terms with rival mobster Michele Zaza that it launched an attack against his nephew Pasquale in December 1979. The Giuliano clan had been in good terms with the Nuova Camorra Organizzata, headed by Raffaele Cutolo until the first half of 1979, but the two clans then broke out into conflict.
Cutolo demanded to receive a cut from the Giulianos' illegal gambling centres and lottery system in his power base of Portici. Following this, the Vollaro clan leader named Luigi Vollaro raised the idea of an anti-Cutolo alliance with Giuliano. A provisional death squad was set up, which contributed to the dozens of gangland deaths that year.

Another Giuliano has repented in 2021. Salvatore Giuliano, 'o russ, as he is nicknamed in the parts of Forcella, is the murderer of Annalisa Durante, and had decided to speak with the magistrate of the DDA who is investigating the new criminal levers in the neighbourhood.
He testified about the murder of Salvatore Lausi known as Pirulino, that he had been killed because he played a double game between the Mazzarellas and the Missos. Michele Mazzarella, 45, believed to have ordered the murder ; Vincenzo Mazzarella, 74, principal and organizer and Salvatore Barile , 39, as material executor in competition with Ciro Giovanni Spirito and Vincenzo De Bernardo , both deceased.

Another murder the 26-year-old Antonio Bortone, was shot dead shortly after 8 pm. Shortly after, another 29-year-old arrived injured at the Aversa hospital: investigators hypothesize a connection between the two episodes. Bortone is a well-known character in the northern area underworld.

Maria Licciardi , arrested by the Ros of Naples, on 8 August 2021, as she was about to leave for Spain from the Roman airport of Ciampino was sentenced to 12 years and eight months in prison. The alleged clan chief, considered by the Dda to be a member of the Secondigliano Alliance, was found guilty of being the leader of the criminal association founded by her brothers.

"Lady Camorra"

Camorra-related ambush in the town of Torre Annunziata (Naples), Luigi Guarro, 44, member of the Gionta clan , was shot and seriously wounded

There was also a case of mistaken identity , Francesco Pio Maimone 18 , who was delivering pizza's for family restaurant when he was shot and killed in Naples.

Criminal organizations are harming the world of football: this is the complaint by the CEO of Serie A Luigi De Siervo released during a long interview with Il Corriere della Sera. The top manager also spoke of the possibility that Serie A could buy DAZN , in the event that the Lega channel is used to broadcast the matches.

“ We are going through a delicate moment. On the one hand, we have achieved fewer constraints in the sale of TV rights, with the ability to extend contracts from three to five years. On the other we are waiting for the measure against piracy, the scourge that weakens our football. The illegal activity, managed according to investigations by the Camorra and the Mafia, has caused a loss of one billion in three years” , De Siervo said.

Another murder in the Neapolitan area: Raffaele Malvone , 29, was shot dead today in Torre Annunziata. The ambush took place around 1 pm today, Sunday 26 March, in via Plinio : Malvone, with a criminal record, believed by the investigators to be close to the Gionta clan.

This is like 3rd member of Gionta clan that was shot in last month. Do we know what is actually going on there ?

At the end of 2022 the Godfather spoke in court after years of silence. Valentino Gionta asked to have his say during a hearing. "I've wanted to talk for a year, but they haven't questioned me. I've been in prison for 30 years, but it's the first time I'm starting to talk about many things. I tell the judges to look carefully at their cards". He then adds: "Ask me, I'll explain things to you". This is how he began by addressing the magistrates.

Currently the boss is in prison with a life sentence, but his intervention seems more directed to defend his family than to repent.

He tried to explain the meaning of some wiretaps, above all to shelter his wife Gemma Donnarumma, who returned to Torre Annunziata after having served her sentence. And not only. Her defensive line is aimed at getting her daughter Teresa Gionta and her husband Giuseppe Carpentieri out of trouble, as well as her 39-year-old nephew with the same name. The three are on trial with him and accused of being the regents and of having reorganized the Gionta clan between 2020 and 2021, with extortion and drug trafficking.

Vincenzo Di Lauro arrested by the carabinieri of the Naples Investigative Nucleus in his home in Piazza Zanardelli. The second son of Paolo Di Lauro , known in the news with the initials F2, would be the instigator of one of the eight murders, that of Luigi Giannino , which took place during the Second Feud of Scampia .

Vincenzo 's arrest represents a severe blow to the clan founded by Ciruzzo o' millionaire, in fact, according to the investigators, he is the most operative son of the founding clan leader, the one with the greatest criminal capacity.

He was not involved in the first Scampia feud because he was imprisoned. He was arrested on March 27, 2007 for criminal association of the Camorra type and finally released from prison in January 2015.

Di Lauro repeatedly indicated by collaborators of justice as the financial mind of the clan and, above all, as a character endowed with enormous criminal charisma . Furthermore, according to Maurizio Prestieri unlike his brother Cosimo, Vincenzo would not prefer to resolve with violence, rather, he would be inclined to find a diplomatic way so as not to attract the attention of the police.

Camorra in Naples, the Mazzarellas and the Alliance of Secondigliano 'masters' of the city
Antonio Mangione

The two main criminal actors of the Neapolitan Camorra scene are the Secondigliano Alliance and the Mazzarella Clan. The first 'family' is made up of the Mallardos, Contini-Bostis and Licciardis.
The MAZZARELLA clan is made up of numerous minor criminal groups, settled both
in the neighborhoods of the center of Naples and outside the capital, thus extending its
hegemony also over those active in the province of Naples.
To better represent the criminal assets of the Camorra organizations operating in the city of Naples, the metropolitan area has been divided into the Central Area, the Northern Area, the Eastern Area and the Western Area as described below.

With reference to the Naples-Central Area (Avvocata, San Lorenzo-Vicaria, Vasto Arenaccia, San Carlo all'Arena-Stella, Mercato-Pendino, Poggioreale, Montecalvario, Chiaia-San Ferdinando-Posillipo) an area was considered homogeneous territory on the geo-criminal level corresponding to the districts of the historic center10 in the capital. This area is characterized by the co-presence in the same neighborhoods of clans affiliated to the so-called. ALLIANCE OF SECONDIGLIANO and others attributable to the MAZZARELLA clan.The territorial boundaries of the two criminal formations in these neighborhoods are very fluid, the result of the rearrangements resulting from the intra-clan rivalries and the numerous and continuous contrasting actions. The resulting power vacuums, if not promptly filled, systematically induced the opposing factions to take advantage of these disadvantages in order to expand their area of ??influence or to re-appropriate old lost territories.

It should be noted, in particular, that within the MAZZARELLA clan the
claims of city territories passed under the control of the opposing CONTINI clan
(SECONDIGLIANO ALLIANCE) are not dormant, precisely in the central area of ??the Neapolitan city where the
borders between the two opposing criminal formations are even more fluid. The recent return
to freedom of prominent members of a family affiliated with the MAZZARELLA clan, in the
San Lorenzo district in the Forcella area of ??Naples, could be a harbinger of new friction between the two
rival teams.
The MAZZARELLA clan, through members of the same family or loyalists
associates, would maintain its hegemony over other rival groups in the management of illegal activities in the "Decumani" area, in the Mercato districts, in the Stella district and in the areas between Porta Capuana and Porta Nolana, as well as in the so-called area. New houses. The presence of groups attributable to the MAZZARELLA clan can also be found in the area of ??the University, Santa Chiara and Piazza Bovio as well as in the area of ??Pallonetto di Santa Lucia.

Also in the Sanità district, where the influential associations11 attributable to the ALLENZA DI
SECONDIGLIANO have been considerably weakened by recent police operations,
the attempt at expansion by the MAZZARELLA clan through
the BARILE family, which occupies a top position in the of the aforementioned
mafia groups.
The main criminal interests of the MAZZARELLA clan relate to counterfeiting,
drugs and extortion activities committed to the detriment of traders and street vendors in the
various city markets

The CONTINI clan, confederated to the so-called. ALLEANZA DI SECONDIGLIANO, would exercise
a function of management and control over the groups operating in the Vasto, Arenaccia,
Ferrovia, Rione Amicizia, Borgo Sant'Antonio Abate12 and surrounding areas.
The information acquisitions of the period in question would appear to show no changes
of the internal structures of the organization although two personal measures hit the leaders of the family in January and June 2022. In the first case, the attempt by the son-in-law and daughter of the clan chief to go to the United Arab Emirates would have been averted, where they would have long ago woven a dense network of relationships to manage the economic affairs of the organization and in particular the laundering, re-employment and self-laundering of the proceeds of illicit activities of the BOSTI-CONTINI clan. In the second case, 3 young people were arrested, including the nephew of the aforementioned clan leader, as they were believed to be the authors of an episode of serious violence committed near a restaurant in the historic center against a waitress and a foreign customer .

The same conflict between clans of opposing criminal cartels would be recorded in the
Poggioreale district, where the CONTINI clan would be hegemonic in the control of illicit activities in those districts already considered a fief of the MAZZARELLA clan.
Even in the Quartieri Spagnoli the criminal scenario would seem to be characterized by a high level of conflict between newly established groups looking for new spaces to manage their illicit interests and some old formations that would try to fill the power gaps.
From this point of view, in the state of the info-investigative acquisitions, it would seem that we should read the episodes of armed violence during the semester committed to the detriment of subjects involved in the management of drug dealing squares but the dispute over alleys and areas would create tensions also with reference the management of extortion against commercial activities.

Naples-North Area (Secondigliano, Scampia, San Pietro a Patierno, Miano, Piscinola, Chiaiano, Vomero and Arenella).
In the northern quadrant of the city of Naples, there is a large presence
of homogeneous groups in each district, all adhering to or gravitating around the so-called. Secondigliano alliance.
In the district of the same name, the judicial outcomes report the procedurally ascertained presence
of the LICCIARDI clan which, despite the detention of its undisputed leader, is still divided into four subgroups with recognized operational autonomy but subordinate to the aforementioned clan: -
Masseria Cardone group, direct emanation of the LICCIARDI family, headed by the
closest non-detained family member;
- group from the Don Guanella district whose alleged leader is in close kinship with
the LICCIARDI family;
-group from the Rione Berlingieri;
- group from the Kennedy Ward which, due to the police operations that have taken place in
recent years, is said to be in a situation of crisis in terms of criminal leadership and would be the object of the expansionist aims of certain neighboring groups.
