The conditions of the injured man, Massimiliano Baldassarre were not considered serious.

Another episode around 12: agents from the Ponticelli police station intervened at the Ospedale del Mare in Naples where a man, Filippo Lernia , 46 years old, arrived with gunshot wounds: a shot hit him in the right leg but his life is not in danger.
Camorra clans are also taking advantage of new technologies to do business. This important detail was discovered by the military economic-financial police units of the Guardia di Finanza of Naples, Trieste and Frosinone, in collaboration with the Central Investigation Service on Organized Crime, which carried out two attacks in Campania, Lazio and Emilia Romagna. preventive seizure decrees concerning movable and immovable assets for a total amount of over 150 million euros against 11 subjects under investigation, in various capacities, including in association form, for multiple tax crimes, false corporate communications, fraudulent transfer of values and self-laundering.
The investigations have revealed the concrete risk that the suspects would nullify the financial guarantee for the treasury also through operations on foreign accounts, the establishment of trusts, the registration on bitcoin platforms and the repeated fictitious registration of companies and movable assets and properties to nominees.
New technologies, favored by progress in cryptography - i.e. the application of methods that serve to make a message comprehensible/intelligible only to people authorized to read it - and by the evolution of the internet, are causing a radical change in the global economy, with particular reference to the financial sector, in terms of the methods of exchange of goods, services and any financial activity.

The clan's drugs, raid in the 219 district of Brusciano: 41 arrests Maxi operation by the Carabinieri, the organization linked to the Rega-Piacente clan defeated: residents denied the keys to the doors, intercoms also dismantled
35 people in prison, 6 affected by a residence ban in Campania: this is the outcome of the maxi operation launched this morning at the first light of dawn by the Carabinieri of Castello di Cisterna. The target of the raid was a criminal syndicate specialized in drug trafficking which had established its operational base in the 219 district of Brusciano, in the Neapolitan area. Linked to the Rega-Piacente clan, the group was organized with rigid working methods: the pyramidal structure included a street leader, then drug dealers and lookouts, who alternated in 8/10 hour work shifts to effectively cover the entire day. Swiss punctuality is the request of the bosses during shift changes, thanks to video surveillance the carabinieri have in fact discovered that even the slightest delay could lead to dismissal from the organisation. The investigations showed how the drug dealing activity, often carried out in the presence of children, also affected the private lives of residents outside the clan, to the point that none of the condominium owners were in possession of the keys to the entrance doors and the intercoms had been removed to avoid unauthorized opening.
When the Camorra or N'Drangheta encroach out of Calabria and Campania,into places like Lazio, Abruzzo,Molise,Basicalata and Apulia,do they take in members from those regions?
When guys already involved in organized crime for those areas,came to continue their activities in America,in the early days were they part of the 3 major mafias here-Camorra,Sicilian Mafia,or N;Drangheta, or did they have names for their own organizations?
What do you know about the Zaza clan? In 2014 $540 million in assets were seized from them.
Zaza clan is Mazzarella clan, one of most powerful Camorra groups next to Casalesi and Licciardi.
Zaza is a branch of Mazzarella, until 2009 it was headed by Salvatore Zaza, who was one of biggest drug traffickers of Camorra, he was arrested in 2009 in Barcelona.
That Mafia Summit thing in Milan made me realize just how much I overlook and underestimate the Moccia clan. They might be the most white-collar, richest family in the Camorra...

Ambush in the Neighborhoods, the boss' nephew shot Fri 01 December 2023 09:25
Ambush in the night: Salvatore Equabile, a 42-year-old with multiple criminal convictions, nephew of the Quartieri Spagnoli boss, shot in his legs. He told the police that he had been the victim of an attempted robbery in via San Nicola La Strada. The case is being investigated by the Carabinieri of the Naples mobile radio unit, who intervened in the Pellegrini emergency room and listened to the victim.
His version is being examined by investigators, but knowing his criminal record it seems rather unlikely. Salvatore Equabile, known as "Sasà", was arrested after a long absence in 2011. He was on holiday at the seaside when the carabinieri captured him. Equabile was already known to the police for robbery and weapons, and was considered a leading member of the Terracciano family. And, above all, he is the nephew of the clan leader Salvatore Terracciano, known as 'o nirone.

For them too, as for their children, there have been significant redeterminations of sentences.

Same 'softening' for their children with Ciro Cappuccio sentenced to two years and eight months compared to the six inflicted in the first instance, and ten years for Nicola Del Core who however received 16 years in the first instance.
Significant sentence reduction also for Raffaele Ruggiero who, compared to the 15 years of the first degree, was sentenced to ten years with the exclusion of the aggravating circumstance inherent to the association: the defensive line followed by his lawyer, the criminal lawyer Luigi Senese, is fundamental , who managed to obtain a substantial sentence reduction. Other results include a 16-year sentence for Michele Marchesano, brother-in-law of the boss Luigi Polverino, and ten years for Luigi Esposito (defended by Domenico Dello Iacono) compared, however, to 16 years in the first instance.

9 DECEMBER 2023 11:13 Camorra ambush with a Kalashnikov machine gun, the killers' target emerges unharmed Shooting occurred in Lettere with an assault machine gun: car riddled, but victim slightly injured. By Naples editorial team
A full-blown ambush, the killer (or perhaps there were several people, given the weapon used) was followed, aimed at and attacked with a submachine gun, a Kalashnikov. It is a type of weapon that is difficult to use for a "demonstration action". The incident occurred yesterday night in Lettere, a municipality perched on the Lattari mountains , shortly after Castellammare di Stabia, in that area which is defined as "the Jamaica of Campania", given the Indian hemp plantations which the police forces continually they identify and eradicate.
The victim is 33 years old, believed to be very close to the circles of the Di Martino clan from Gragnano. The man was hit by bullets fired from the well-known assault machine gun invented in the former Soviet Union with the acronym AK-47. The thirty-three-year-old emerged from the car almost unharmed, with graze wounds . The young man was accompanied to the emergency room of the San Leonardo hospital in Castellammare di Stabia, where he was treated. The police from the Castellammare di Stabia police station are investigating the case. No leads are currently ruled out.
Raid in the Rhein-Erft district Cologne investigators succeed in striking money launderers on behalf of the mafia From Jan Wördenweber December 14, 2023, 10:38 a.m Reading time 2 minutes Masked emergency services stand in front of a house and cars. The raid was aimed at suspected money launderers (symbolic photo).
Several arrest warrants were executed in the greater Cologne area in an operation against organized crime.
Seven residential and commercial premises in the greater Cologne area were searched in a raid on Thursday morning (December 14th). According to information from the “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger”, the action took place in the Rhein-Erft district. As the Cologne public prosecutor's office and police announced, three European arrest warrants and arrest warrants worth around 724,000 euros were executed. This means: According to the court order, the public prosecutor's office is allowed to secure assets of a maximum of 724,000 euros from the accused. This includes, for example, cash, but also material assets such as jewelry or vehicles.
The investigation, which has been running since 2019 and in which the Stuttgart customs investigation office is also involved, is directed against several Italian nationals. The three suspects, aged 29, 63 and 65, are accused of working as a gang to launder money from illegal drug deals run by the Camorra, based in the Naples area.
Greater Cologne area: Strike against money launderers from the Camorra environment Since 2015, the accused are said to have purchased high-priced luxury vehicles in Germany on behalf of Italian citizens from the Camorra community in Italy with money that came from criminal transactions. As the authorities further announced, the vehicles were said to have been made available to the clients through an alleged car rental company owned by the accused and fictitious long-term rental contracts.
The fictitious rental agreements are also said to have been paid for with money from drug deals, illegal gambling and gang-related economic crimes by the Camorra in Italy. In this way, the investigators allege, the Camorra's funds were to be laundered. The car rental model is also said to have served to conceal the actual ownership of the vehicles. The vehicles, including motorcycles, were models from Audi, Ferrari, Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover, VW and Yamaha.

Cobra manufacturer: mafia and Chinese copy my fireworks Rop Zoutberg
Correspondent Italy
On a wall in Di Blasio's Elio Fireworks office are requests for his cobras from around the world. Most of the production goes abroad, director Elio Di Blasio agrees. It mainly goes to Eastern Europe. He does not export anything to the Netherlands, where controls on the import of fireworks are strict. "The transport would also be far too expensive."
He sighs when asked how his fireworks bombs appear in the Netherlands. There are two ways, says Di Blasio. Or illegally from eastern Europe. Or imitated by at least four Chinese manufacturers who copied his cobras.
"But the mafia around Naples also does that. The fireworks that end up in the Netherlands with my name on them could also have been made by the Camorra ."
The Dutch police suspect that there are at least twenty different types of cobras in circulation, some of which are fakes. This makes setting off illegal fireworks a Russian roulette: you never know exactly what is in the bombs.
On the office table is the range of fireworks made in Di Blasio's Italian factory. There are fourteen types of his cobras, each heavier than the other. The Cobra 8, wrapped in silver paper, contains one hundred grams of explosive (measured in NEC, Net Explosive Content). That's more than enough to blow up containers, bridge railings and even cars, as shown in videos posted by users on the internet.
Di Blasio shrugs when asked why he makes such extreme fireworks. "It is intended for fireworks shows, for professionals. I am not responsible for sixteen-year-old boys using my fireworks incorrectly."
Moreover, the market demands that the fireworks become increasingly heavier. "In Eastern Europe they only want this kind of fireworks. The heavier, the more attractive it becomes. I make it. And then everyone wants it."
The Neapolitan mafia also imitates my fireworks.
Elio Di Blasio A little later, Di Blasio shows the location of his factory, where the cobras have been made by thirteen employees for almost twenty years. The sheds are hidden behind a local road, without any indication. “That is for security reasons,” Di Blasio continues to repeat.
"The government requires us to make our fireworks far outside the villages and towns." But it remains a guess what the warehouses look like from the inside, because Di Blasio keeps his visitors at a great distance from the factory.
NOS The Cobra 3 and 6 Only when the microphone is turned off does he tell how he went to investigate in Chinese department stores in the Czech Republic and saw his counterfeit fireworks everywhere. He also knows how the rival mafia blew up a nearby fireworks factory a few years ago. “They stop at nothing.”
He looks grimly at his visitor. And suddenly the danger of the cobra seems much greater than just the explosion caused by a fireworks fanatic.
Drugs, weapons, racketeering. 26 arrests between Afragola and Casoria
The DDA: conflicts over the drug dealing centers between criminal subgroups of a branch of the Moccia clan
26 people were arrested by the Carabinieri and the police at the end of a joint operation between Afragola and Casoria, province of Naples. Between prison and house arrest, the suspects are accused of mafia-type association, drug trafficking, extortion, robbery and illegal carrying of weapons of war.
The investigations conducted by the District Anti-Mafia Directorate revealed the continuous transformation of the criminal balance in the two municipalities north of Naples, in the Salicelle district as in the neighboring areas, with a clear contrast between various factions of the Sasso-Parziale criminal group, a structure - according to the prosecutors – of the Moccia clan.
Depending on the various changes of regency, due to the numerous arrests over time, different subgroups came into conflict with each other in the management of drug dealing and extortion against entrepreneurs and traders.
Ambush outside the 'bass' in Naples, former Misso turncoat hit
From editorial board

Vittorio La Sala , born in 1972, was injured last night in Vico della Calce in Materdei near a street used for the sale of scooters. This is a character with an important criminal 'past': former Misso family before joining the Torino family at the time of the latter's split and then becoming a collaborator with the justice system. The man told the police that he saw two people near the club and that he was approached by the two who fired two gunshots at him before running away. The police are investigating, no leads are ruled out.

Firework culture almost died out here, i remember when we were kids, all the kids would be outside whole december/january messing around with fireworks, my friends and i were obsessed with it. But now almost no one does it.
According to FBI reports, the Ukranian-Jewish crime boss Semion Mogilevich had alliances with the Camorra, in particular with Salvatore DeFalco, a lower-echelon member of the Giuliano clan. Mogilevich and DeFalco would have held meetings in Prague in 1993. Semion Mogilevich's net worth is estimated to be 10 billion dollar.
