From investigations carried out in 2013, which led to the arrest of 35 alleged affiliates, it emerged that the heirs of the clan appointed the boss Carlo Di Meo as regent of the criminal activity, who would have signed an alliance with Cosa Nostra, in particular with the boss Vincenzo La Placa of Palermo.

As for the Camorra, Dia describes «a complex criminal system permeated by the operations of historical and consolidated criminal groups and aggregations with unstable balances which, not infrequently, seek to legitimize themselves by resorting to violent methods to assert their control of the territory. A crime always looking for new, better and more lucrative positions in the illegal markets but also interested in the expansion of a dense network of businesses. The investigations have documented the ability of the most traditional criminal associations to penetrate the entrepreneurial socio-economic bed often managing to consolidate monopolistic positions in entire sectors so as to significantly affect the economic fabric of the territory.

The episode was witnessed by several inhabitants of the neighborhood, De Martino's wife and other relatives. Davi, as he himself made known, had gone to Ponticelli to produce a report on the feud that is bloodying the east area of ??Naples.

Camorra: extortion, 10 arrests in the Caserta area
Naples, 23 May 09:52 - (Nova Agency)- In the province of Caserta, on charges of extortion aggravated by the mafia method, ten people were arrested by the Operations Section of the Carabinieri Company of Casal di Principe, in the province of Caserta, following an order issued by the investigating judge of the court of Naples, at the request of the Neapolitan Anti-Mafia District Directorate. The arrested would be members of a Camorra group formed around the figure of Mario De Luca, a historic exponent of the Casalesi clan, in an attempt to take advantage of the criminal vacuum that had arisen thanks to the arrests made over the years by the police. The investigations made it possible to identify the ten arrested (5 in prison and 5 under house arrest), who had extended their network of extortion in the territories of Casal di Principe, Teverola, Frignano, San Cipriano d'Aversa, Marcianise and Castel Volturno. The criminal group acted both directly against the traders and indirectly through the acquisition of a bribe on the debt collection of sums owed.

Camorra ambush at Pallonetto, Pasquale Sesso killed at 44: a 28-year-old arrested Jul 07, 2023
Naples – Pasquale Sesso , the man killed while he was aboard his scooter during the ambush that took place on Wednesday evening in the Pallonetto di Santa Lucia area, lost his life at the age of 44 . According to the latest reconstructions, the police would have stopped a 28-year-old, suspected of murder.
The 44-year-old would have been killed as he traveled the stretch of road between vico Solitaria and via Pallonetto. Several gunshots would have been fired against him , leaving him no way out: despite the rush to the Pellegrini hospital in Naples, the man died shortly after.
A short distance from the murder, the agents identified a prime suspect: he is a 28-year-old young man identified by the police who, according to what Corriere del Mezzogiorno reports , has ties to organized crime. Sesso, on the other hand, would have precedents for drug dealing and robbery.
The presence of the 28-year-old at the scene of the crime was ascertained from the footage recovered from the video surveillance cameras installed in the area. At the time of arrest, he was carrying a pistol , the weapon he may have used to kill the victim.
The young man was therefore first charged with the crime of illegal possession of a firearm. The investigations will then clarify his possible involvement in the ambush that sparked panic among the residents of the area.
“ You have to intervene with all your strength , what happened is total disgust. Earthquake shots. How is it possible that between the Monte di Dio barracks and the army building a few meters from what happened, we have to live barricaded with this fear or the fear of not getting off or not returning home because we risk getting shot? The state must make the state, it's a shame” – is one of the messages sent to the deputy Francesco Emilio Borrelli.
09 JULY 2023 12:25 Ambush in Naples with gunshots, 47-year-old in very serious condition
In Naples, a 47-year-old man, believed by investigators to be at the top of the De Micco clan, is in very serious condition after being the victim of an ambush in the Ponticelli district. Ciro Naturale was hit by three shots: one in the abdomen, one in the collarbone and one in the cheekbone. He was transported to the Villa Betania hospital. The dynamic is still to be reconstructed.
Who is Ciro Naturale, Ponticelli's Camorra broker, victim of an ambush that reduced him to the point of dying by Luciana Esposito July 9, 2023in Chronicle , Highlights0
Struggle between life and death Ciro Naturale known as 'o mellone , the 46-year-old who ended up in the crosshairs of Camorra hit men on the evening of Saturday 8 July, while he was in via Carlo Miranda in Ponticelli, a fort of the De Micco clan, where they also live some friends and relatives of the interpreter from the local underworld reduced to dying.
Admitted to the Villa Betania hospital in Ponticelli, where he was transported after the ambush, Naturale's clinical picture remains critical. Reached by several bullets in the chest, one in the collarbone and another shot, however, he pierced his skull, from one temple to the other. A hail of gunshots that caused very serious injuries. Undergoing a delicate surgery shortly after arriving at the hospital, his conditions remain critical.
The brother-in-law of the Scognamillo brothers, the famous "Bombò", the narcos of Ponticelli , was in turn a leading figure in the local underworld, not so much from a criminal point of view, but more for his well-known ability to earn and circulate money . Mind-boggling figures that have refreshed the coffers of the De Micco-De Martino clan for some time. A subject accustomed to the management of illicit businesses, those related to drugs in primis, a real Camorra broker . A role that made him a crucial pawn, mistakenly considered untouchable .
The value assumed by Naturale in the ambit of the Ponticelli Camorra chessboard is revealed in all its indisputable importance by recent events. First of all, from the decision of the boss Marco De Micco to indicate him as his predecessor in the management of the affairs of the clan, at the same time as his arrest, which took place in April 2022. A choice resulting from the need to satisfy a priority need: that of guaranteeing income consistent with the clan. A guarantee that only a seasoned businessman like 'o Mellone could guarantee. Although that passage of the baton caused quite a stir and aroused the discontent of the De Martinos who hoped for a different decision that would see the XX play a role of that caliber, above all considering the forces invested in the various feuds that had alternated in those years, intended to preserve and reaffirm the hegemony of the two-headed monster constituted by the De Micco-De Martinos. A disappointed expectation that saw the De Martinos focus on the military profile of the organization , going to form the armed wing of the organization, at least until the internal balance of the clan changed, thanks to some excellent releases that followed one another in the last months.
The top role covered by Naturale within the organization following the arrest of the boss Marco De Micco was underlined by the car bomb attack which exactly one year ago shattered his wife's Jeep, parked near the house in via Virginia Woolf and which also led to damage to the cars of other residents in the area. An attack wanted by the De Luca Bossas, under the guidance of Christian Marfella, the half-brother of Tonino 'o sicco who was released from prison at that historic moment and who revealed on several occasions the desire to hit 'o mellone himself to inflict a serious blow on the finances of the rival clan.
The attack - listened to live by the investigators - together with the threats addressed to Naturale's daughter by Marfella and the desire expressed by the latter and his followers - unaware of being intercepted - to concentrate on planning an ambush and killing 'o mellone , they contribute to rebuilding the climate of tension with which the Camorra broker had been forced to live. Not only the threats coming from rivals, but also the pitfalls inherent in the repentance of Antonio Pipolo , a former member of the Bodo-XX who just a few days before the raid aimed at the car of Naturale's wife had decided to collaborate with justice. As proof of his credibility,Pipolo allowed the policemen to find a large quantity of drugs, attributable to Naturale.
This is enough to understand why the atmosphere was full of tension in the ras' house. Down during the summer of 2022 Naturale used to spend long periods away from Ponticelli, a detail that also transpires from the dialogues between Christian Marfella and his loyalists who express all their regret for not being able to track him down before he disappeared.
Following the blitz that last January imprisoned those responsible for the mining attack targeting Naturale, the scenario would not have changed. So much so that the Camorra broker continued to spend long periods of time away from Ponticelli , limiting his presence in the neighborhood to the bare minimum , perhaps aware of having ended up in the eye of the storm or simply oriented towards a more cautious and prudent.
Certainly, the latest Camorra ambush staged in Ponticelli was not aimed at a minor subject. Considering the important role covered by Naturale in business and his kinship with a top figure in the local underworld, the decision to eliminate 'o mellone must have come from a reason that was anything but futile.
Four members of the Casalesi clan are investigated for three murders which took place in 1993, in particular for those of Antonio Russo and Sergio Bruno killed in Pianura on 20 October 1993, and for the murder of Gennaro Barba , killed at Villa Literno seven days later.
Among them three collaborators of justice Domenico Bidognetti, Pasquale Vargas and Vincenzo Cantiello.
According to what has been ascertained, the three murders would have occurred in the context of the conflict between the Neapolitan clans Lago and Contini for the control of illegal activities in the Pianura district. To act, hitmen from the Casalesi clan would have done a favor to the Lagos, while the victims were believed to be close to the opposite faction.
After 11 years on the run Vincenzo La Porta , a 60-year-old from Naples believed to be close to the Contini clan, part of the criminal cartel called the "Alleanza di Secondigliano", was arrested on the Greek island of Corfu.: betrayed by his support for Napoli. With the victory of the scudetto, La Porta could not help but celebrate. The carabinieri recognized him in a photo taken on the facade of a restaurant. He wore a baseball cap on his head, a blue scarf in his hands. After a long series of investigations and tailings, carried out with the precious collaboration of the Greek police forces, the carabinieri blocked him on the street while he was riding his scooter.
Oh okay. I know there's a sentence in first instance and then there's a definitive sentence. He was actually sentenced first to 8 years in 2014, then maybe it became definitive in 2018? Maybe that's why he was free this year. Pretty confusing.
Ambush in the Neapolitan area, shots fired in the street: man dying Editorial team — 17 September 2023
The man who was the victim of an ambush last night in Marigliano , a municipality in the province of Naples , is fighting between life and death . According to the reconstruction of the Carabinieri of the operational and mobile radio unit of Castello di Cisterna and those of the Marigliano station, the ambush took place in via San Rocco shortly after midnight. A 49-year-old local man, already known to the police, was hit by several bullets .
The man, rescued by an ambulance, was taken to Nola hospital with injuries to his abdomen and groin. He is hospitalized in serious condition, intubated , and in danger of dying. After a few hours, a 45-year-old from Casavatore showed up at the same hospital. He was wounded in the leg, probably hit by a bullet. His life is not in danger. The Carabinieri are investigating to reconstruct the story and verify whether the two injuries are connected.
Oh okay. I know there's a sentence in first instance and then there's a definitive sentence. He was actually sentenced first to 8 years in 2014, then maybe it became definitive in 2018? Maybe that's why he was free this year. Pretty confusing.
In Italy, there are 3 instances in the trials. The definitive sentence comes after the appeal.
Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:
1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."
2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
The Italian legal system has a plurality of sources of production. These are arranged in a hierarchical scale, under which the rule of a lower source cannot conflict with the rule of an upper source (hierarchy of sources).
The Constitution of 1948 is the main source.[4] The Italian civil code is based on codified Roman law with elements of the Napoleonic civil code and of the German BGB. The civil code of 1942 replaced the original one of 1865.[4] The penal code ("The Rocco Code") was also written under fascism (1930).
Both the civil code and the penal code have been modified in order to be in conformity with the current democratic constitution and with social changes.[4]
The Neapolitan narcos Simone Bartiromo was considered a sort of Robert Oppenheimer by the Sorianiello clan.
This criminal status emerged in an environmental interception contained in the latest ordinance that hit the West Naples gang. So the 32-year-old would have explained the difference between Colombian and Bolivian cocaine , the latter considered to be of superior quality. In a conversation, captured in April 2021 at Simone Sorianiello 's house , the two talk about the bad smell given off by a variety.
At that point Bartiromo explains the 'formula' to the clan leader's son: " You have to take the Colombian so I mix it under the press... It is pressed and loses that acetone smell... Better to mix the Colombian than the Bolivian without smell because by mixing it you make 850 and 150 so the atomic bomb comes out and no one complains ."
On Monday morning, dozens of soldiers surrounded what is considered the stronghold of the Sorianiello clan , the so-called '99' in via Catone in the Traiano district, to execute several arrest warrants against bosses and followers.
In total, 26 measures were carried out thanks to the investigations coordinated by the Neapolitan DDA. Two prominent members of the gang managed to escape the raid: Simone Bartiromo, indicated as the main drug supplier, and Simone Sorianiello, son of the detained boss Alfredo and his current heir.
The Sorianello clan is one of the criminal groups of the Secondigliano Alliance.
Since dawn this morning, the Carabinieri and State Police have been carrying out a blitz in Ponticelli, in the eastern area of ??Naples: 31 people have been affected by restrictive orders issued by the judge for preliminary investigations of the Court of Naples at the request of the Directorate Neapolitan Anti-Mafia District. The people involved are believed to be linked to the Camorra cartel called De Luca – Bossa – Casella – Minichini – Rinaldi – Reale, active in the eastern area of ??the Campania capital.
