How powerful was the Giuliano clan in comparison to the Sicilian allied Camorra families?

Pretty powerful in the city because they were allied with the Stolder clan. A partnership cemented with marriages (Amalia, the sister of Raffaele Stolder sr, married Carmine Giuliano), who from the 1970s marked the "management" of the territory in the center of Naples.

I was reading about the Giuliano family’s ties to Maradona

Is the Nuvoletta-Polverino-Orlando family as strong as the casalesi?

How the Italian mafia poisons everyday life in Naples

It was the only way Maradona he could live in Naples with all the madness going on the people worshiped him as their God they wouldn't leave him alone so the camorra acted as his security.

Were the Camorra members more successful than him at the time? Or were they just protecting him because they wanted something from him?

It's no secret he was bought by Napoli with camorra money. His connection with them starts innocently. In exchange for protection, he cuts some ribbons at new stores that are controlled by the camorra. A few years later, he is in trouble. After a newspaper has revealed that the hot-tempered Maradona has been caught using cocaine - he is a frequent user - his mafia friends drop him quickly.

Was it exclusively the giulanos who provided protection or were multiple clans involved?

Diego Maradona & Giuliano Brothers

That picture must’ve came back to haunt Maradona. Was this in the midst of the NCO war?

How was he not banned from the sport? I’m not much of a soccer fan myself.

After boxing soccer is the most corrupt sport.

I never understood how people could riot over soccer. Maybe because in America it’s not a big sport so I don’t see it the same way that other people from other countries do.

Just how deadly was the NCO war? So many casualties. So many big names involved. You would think everyone was afraid to walk out the door. But it is not talked about the same way that the corleonesi war is talked about. It’s always surprised me that there could be hundreds of murders between both sides in a mob war like the Riina one, NCO, and Ndrangheta wars yet they all still have more than enough men to keep going.

Hooliganism has been associated with the sport since the beginning..

Yes it has. Always looked so ignorant to me.

Now I am older I agree, but in the 80s/90s it was fun. It's a subculture.

That’s fair. I’m sure soccer fans might look at the most popular American sports like football, basketball, baseball or hockey fans antics and feel the same way that I feel about soccer fans antics.

Are there lesser known clans who have as much power if not more than the more known clans? Such as the Gionta clan(lesser known)?

The entrepreneur Francesco Zagaria , a native of Casapesenna, known as "Ciccio 'e Brezza": has decided to repent and tell the magistrates of the DDA the secrets of the Casalesi clan and the pacts of Michele Zagaria with politicians. The first statements have already been filed, Zagaria is involved in the investigation that led to the arrest of Carmine Antropoli, former mayor of Capua, now under house arrest in Abruzzo.

An entrepreneur active both in the construction sector and in the dairy branch, Zagari was also indicated as a manager of a gambling den in Grazzanise where the illicit money from the gang was cleaned up. He was accused of mafia-type criminal association, but shortly after he was released from prison.

Mario Martone's "Il Sindaco del rione Sanita" is a new movie about the Camorra.

A young man of 29 years, recently released after 6 years in prison, was shot to death in Mondragone, in the province of Caserta, around 9.30pm on 4 September. Francesco Longobardi was the nephew of a man considered close to the boss Augusto La Torre. The investigations focus on the drug control feud.

Dead on the Asse Mediano , at the Sant'Antimo Casandrino exit , before the junction for Acerra . On site at least three patrols of the Carabinieri of the Compagnia di Giugliano led by captain Andrea Coratza for the findings of the case.

Traffic towards Naples has gone haywire . There are slowdowns and queues. Motorists report the presence of a white cloth that covers the lifeless body on the driver's side of a side-by-side car. It would be an ambush. The driver of the car would have been killed during a shooting.

The killers would have blocked the car and fired the gunshots at the victim, then disappeared in another vehicle whose tracks were lost. Start investigations immediately by the police. Further updates coming soon.

Victim is the camorrista Gennaro Sorrentino, 51, from Scampia.

Body found in car trunk in Naples sparks fears of mafia war
Victim 'dealer, involved with Camorra clan'

(ANSA) - Naples, September 9 - A body found inside a car trunk of a car in the crime-ridden district of Scampia in Naples has sparked fears of a new Camorra mafia war to control criminal activities, in particular drug dealing, in the residential area of 'le Vele', investigators said Monday.
The victim, identified as Domenico Gargiulo, 30, had survived a number of attempted killings, the same sources said.
Police and DDA anti-mafia investigators are following the case.
The body of the man, who was known to police as a drug dealer involved with a local criminal clan, was wrapped in a blanket and his face was covered by a towel, investigative sources said.


Nine people ended up in prison while two others were notified of the ban on staying in Campania as part of an investigation into extortion and drug dealing in the area of ​​Stabia and Vesuvius, in the province of Naples.
The investigation began in 2015 when a leading exponent of the hegemonic family in the Savorito district, that of Imparato (also known as the Paglialoni, supporters of the D'Alessandro clan), approached the owner of a business to impose the supply of goods.
The investigative activity made it possible to ascertain the extortion activity carried out by some of the suspects who, belonging to the Imparato family, carried out, on behalf of third parties, the recovery of unpaid debts even from subjects deemed to belong to other clans.

In the Marano blitz yesterday police arrested Luigi Esposito, aka 'Celeste', regent of the Orlando clan. Esposito, a historic affiliate of the Nuvoletta clan, the financial mind of the powerful criminal organization, had served a nine-year prison sentence. He was released a year and a half ago. He was arrested with six other people believed to be close to the Orlando-Polverino-Nuvoletta clan. They would be responsible for three extortion claims against owners of a veterinary pharmacy that would have earned 72 thousand euros.
