Why is Caserta the power base of the Camorra with the casalesi when Naples is a big city with so much opportunity to make money and political connections?

The Casalesi are a different kind of camorra more rural and they have about 8000 members that's huge more than in the city of Napels.

Casalesi having 8000 members? No way, i highly doubt that , from where u got that info?

Only in one town Casal di Principe 3000 people were kept under police surveillance because of prior convictions or known affiliation with the clan.

Well holy shit, i thought they had like 1500-2000 people , then they are much more powerful than i imagined them to be.

Members are not only made guys including associates.

They have over 100 capos/zone leaders.

How do they avoid internal conflict with so many different zone leaders? At one point Bardellino was the only boss but at what point did they break their family into different factions?

How does the Casalesi make most of their money? Is it drugs? There are only a few Camorra clans within Naples that can compare to the casalesi throughout history. Nuvolettas, Zazas are two examples.

the alleanza di secondigliano (contini/licciardi/mallardo) are very powerful

Are they still more like street gangs?

You have the street punks and the baby gangs but in the background you have crime families that are part of the system. This 'systema' pervades much of life in Naples.

Is the Secondigliano alliance still operational? I've been wondering about the Licciardi for years. The Way Saviano described them they were more powerful than the DiLauros, and they were in the fruit business with the Casalesi and Santapaolo clans...

Sigismondo Di Puorto, he succeeded Sandokan and Zagaria as the Godfather of the Casalesi.

Is he as powerful as they were? Or has the casalesi lost power and influence since then?

Vittorio Barruffo's body, dismembered and unrecognizable, was found by a hunter in a grove in France. It has been identified by the DNA. Barruffo was born in Naples, he was 44 years old, and in the south of France, in the Isere region, right on the border with Italy, he arrived two years ago to start over.

The turncoats have done a lot of damage, but they are still one of the stronger groups in the Camorra.

I answered my own question and found MANY Italuan news articles.... I'll post some.

Blitz against the "Alliance", the attack of the former boss Misso: "Licciardi more dangerous than Messina Denaro"
The Madrina alias' a Piccerella, also known as Lady Camorra, escaped the maxi operation called "Cartagena" which caused 126 arrests
JUNE 28, 2019 19:24 BY ANDREA AVERSA


When the police appeared in the night at her home, Maria Licciardi was not there. ' Piccerella has fled and is now a fugitive. The judicial authority raised even more the lid of the Pandora's box from which many details related to the illicit affairs of the cartel known as the Alligliano of the Secondigliano came out but failed to put the handcuffs on the wrists of his Godmother .

The powerful association, which includes the Contini , Licciardi and Mallardo clans , all linked by family ties, was at war with another Camorra cartel from the past. The one formed by the Mazzarella , Misso and Sarno families .

( This would have the Licciardi having defeated the supposedly stronger LCN clan of Zaza-Mazzarella)



The contention of the conflict was the control of the center of Naples . The winner was the Alliance , whose intimidating and financial strength is explained within the judicial papers.

MISSO AGAINST MARY LICCIARDI - But the old disagreements never ended, so Giuseppe Misso said 'o Nasone - former boss of the Sanità district - said that Licciardi is one of the most powerful and influential bosses in the criminal history of Italy . Even for Misso , 'a Piccerella , would today be the most dangerous and sought-after fugitive even compared to Mattia Messina Denaro , the famous mafia chief "disappeared" 26 years ago.


But there are many arguments taken up by Misso , such as the alleged infiltration by the Alliance within the regional health system. A topic that saw its peak at the San Giovanni Bosco hospital .

WHO IS MARIA LICCIARDI - The " Madrina ", " Lady Camorra ", " Bloody Mary " (" Maria Sanguinaria "), these are the other nicknames of 'a Piccerella . Maria Licciardi is considered to be at the top of the Camorra. She would take the reins of the Alliance as the sister of the founders of the cartel. And always she to be held responsible for about 100 murders for which she was never investigated.

Maria Licciardi was already a fugitive, it was 1998 but after a few months she was found and arrested. Then the detention took place, almost 10 years in prison where ' Piccerella served them all in hard prison, the regime known as the 41bis . On that occasion, as reported by Il Mattino , he made the acquaintance of a Red Brigades member, Nadia Desdemona Lioce .

Maria Licciardi could be compared to one of the female characters protagonists of one of the most successful TV series in the history of cinema: Il Trono di Spade . 'A Piccerella is like one of those queens who administer everything of their court: the rules, the business, the relationships between affiliates, the love affairs of his "courtiers". For her there is a code that must always be respected and pursued. Woe to break it. Also for this reason the Alliance is a criminal organization that in the last resort resorts to murder.

Moreover, Maria Licciardi , like all the "queens", is married. Also 'a Piccerella has its king. His name is Antonio Techemie called ' James o' Tartufon . But for Maria Licciardi , the latter, as for the rulers of the TV series, is only the consort, the companion of life. All decisions are made by Piccerella to take them.

UPDATE - The order for precautionary custody against Maria Licciardi has been canceled. The woman is free and therefore no longer a fugitive.

THE WORDS OF MISSO 'OR NASONE -

" THIS BOSS IS CALLED BY MARIA LICCIARDI (LOSS AT THE BLITZ AGAINST THE ALLIANCE OF SECONDIGLIANO ...) IT IS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS THAN MATTEO MESSINA DENARO "

Agreement between Nuvoletta and Matteo Messina Denaro: the agreement on online games signed in Giugliano

Agreement between Nuvoletta and Matteo Messina Denaro: the agreement on online games signed in Giugliano
Of Silvio Russo -22 November 2018




The pact between the Mafia and the Camorra is still strong. The Maranese, always close to the thighs of Cosa Nostra, after a period of cooling of the relations, would have strengthened the relations with the Sicilian "mala" and in particular with the fugitive boss Matteo Messina Denaro.

The last agreement signed between the parties would have been ratified in Giugliano and would have seen the participation of emissaries arrived in the city under the criminal control of the Mallards, directly from Catania, it is learned from an article appeared this morning in the newspaper Cronache di Napoli.

Some of these were even stopped and controlled by the agents of the police station of via Antica Giardini who reported the anomalous presence that, after some time, allowed the circle to be closed on the exchanges between Marano, in particular from the Nuvoletta family, and Sicily.


No more drug trafficking, but online betting management. This is the new configuration of the relations between Maranesi and Sicilians that over the years have experienced ups and downs: ups and downs from the "pact of cannoli", with exchanges of courtesies between the two "families", passing through a cooling of contacts and, now, to a new pact based on a new market to be exploited.

Contacts between some suspects of the group of Lineri Mistebianco (Catania) of the Santapaola clan and subjects considered 'close' to the super-fugitive Matteo Messina Denaro , including the latter's nephew, Francesco Guttadauro , as well as with people related to the Camorra family of Nuvoletta di Marano (Naples) have emerged as part of the 'Revolutionbet 2' investigation by the Catania prosecutor's office on mafia and online betting.

During the operation the carabinieri also seized weapons. The Guardia di Finanza carried out the preventive seizure aimed at confiscating assets, in Italy and abroad, for 70 million euros.

Relazione Dia: ''Cosa nostra subdola e silente concentrata negli affari''

by Aaron Pettinari - Pdf
"Reorganization is attempted after Riina's death. Clashes are not ruled out"


Despite the continuous arrests (the last concerned last week the members belonging to the district of Passo di Rigano and the historic Inzerillo family), the seizure and confiscation of assets, the criminal organization called Cosa nostra is still pervasive and endowed with dynamism and offensive potential ".

This is the first consideration that, in the semi-annual report published last July 19, Dia's analysts are looking at the Sicilian mafia.

The investigators lined up all the information gathered during the second half of 2018 in which the operation Cupola 2.0, the one that on December 4, 2018 revealed the attempt to reorganize the Provincial Commission after the death of the Chief of Chiefs, Totò Riina, was certainly the most important success of the Police Forces.


According to Dia, the death of the Corleonese bossie has opened a "new transition phase, that of succession, however characterized by very delicate and problematic aspects, linked to the alignments, alliances between families and the new relations of force. , after years of internal review and constant search for balance, Cosa Nostra has really tried to finally give itself a definitive organization, not only substantial but also formal ".


Dia emphasizes how"it was argued that the mafia organization was, finally, measuring for some time with the return to Palermo of the so-called" escaped "or" American "and their descendants, or the losers of the mafia war won by the Corleonese " , able to " recover the ancient power also by relating to the Corleonese wing, as well as making use of historical relations with overseas bosses ".

The operation that took place last week, moreover, did nothing but confirm the involvement of the Inzerillo family, of the district of Passo di Rigano, in the dynamics of the Sicilian criminal organization.

Possible violent actions
Analysts observe how"even if the attempt to reconstitute the Dome was unsuccessful due to prompt enforcement, the investigative findings confirmed the associates' awareness of the fact that one of the strong points, perhaps the main one, of Cosa Nostra has always been to It is a structured organization, well rooted in the territory, unitary and top-down, with precise top roles, so it seems likely that the Palermo organization will continue to experience a phase of transition and remodulation, during which the most authoritative components will confront each other to confer a new structure and new garments, striving to pursue the creation of a top-down and unitary structure ".

Then they sound an alarm:"Precisely because of the failure of the attempt to reconstruct the Dome and thus continuing the critical elements described above (which the establishment of the coordinating body should have allowed to progressively overcome), it is not possible to exclude in an absolute way that the difficulties of the organization and the complex dynamics between the components that are part of it can lead to strong disagreements, even with acts of violence.

This possibility is also to be considered because of the fact that internal conflicts could be further exacerbated by the new collaborative relationships of affiliates, particularly authoritative, with justice " .

The business network: the drug above all
"The 'lace' - Dia's analysts know - not only represents a primary source of" sustenance ", but is also a fundamental means to control the territory". However, an increasingly strong return to drug trafficking is reported.

According to investigators, the interest of Sicilian organized crime towards the drug business remains high, as it is a huge capital multiplier. "In this illicit, international and transnational context, - they write -the important and unavoidable criminal synergies emerge, due to supply needs, with other Italian mafia organizations, as well as with foreign criminal organizations involved in the long chain of drug trafficking ".

The report acknowledges the existing relations Cosa Nostra and 'Ndrangheta just to purposes of drug supply.


Speaking of the business of Cosa Nostra in the semi-annual report it is certified as"Today Cosa Nostra tries to avoid violent ostentation and sensational gestures, which would inevitably provoke social condemnation, in order to best pursue one's own affairs while at the same time maintaining a certain social consensus.

This new strategy, in relation to that stragista, is allowing, in fact, a subtle and silent penetration into the socio-economic-administrative fabric, favoring the collusive-corruptive tactic " .

"The illicit business agreements - the report continues -they are therefore the fruit of mutual convenience between the parties.

Corruption, based on a social fabric still available to compromise and which has its strengths in familism, in welfarism and in a widespread clientelism, is aimed at interfering with the functioning of the public administration, especially at the local level and mostly in those sectors where substantial economic resources pass, such as health, waste and the agro-food sector.

Considering that the Municipalities, even the small ones, can be important spending centers, with the Cosa Nostra corruption is able to condition bureaucracy and politics, in order to achieve its goals more effectively.

An economic-entrepreneurial sector at risk of corruption turned out to be that of maritime transport,, Dia continues.
"Historically - the law continues - the Sicilian mafia controls the construction, the production of bituminous and cement conglomerates, the earth movement, the mining activity and the agro-silvo-pastoral sector.

Alongside the aforementioned traditional areas, Cosa Nostra has also known to infiltrate large-scale food distribution, in the tourism-hotel sector, in the betting and online gaming sector, in the manufacturing industry, in the waste cycle, in real estate investments, also made through judicial auctions, in works connected with the construction of energy plants from renewable sources and in all those sectors that benefit from state and community public funding.


An important testimony of all this is the profiteering attributable to the well-known fugitive Messina Denaro or to the numerous companies considered by him to be related. The investigative activities have disrupted the considerable economic power due to the boss of Castelvetrano, together with the complex and articulated chain of figures that allow him to manage investments and recycling operations, always identifying new economic sectors in which to move.

The report of the second half of 2018: " Enduring criminal life guaranteed also by connivance with 'white collar' "

" If in the nineteenth century the precursors of the modern Camorra entrepreneurs had secured a monopoly in the distribution of hay for carriages, now it can be affirmed, because it is acclaimed by definitive judicial acts, that there is no licit sector producing wealth that has not been object of attention by the clans ".

This is what emerges from the July-December 2018 Semi-annual Report of the Anti-Mafia Investigation Directorate on the Camorra. The criminal organizations of Campania have " regenerated ", it is read, through increasingly efficient techniques of infiltration of the socio-economic, political and entrepreneurial fabric.

"The associations infiltrate the legal economy either through participation in healthy companies or by operating directly with their own reference companies, characterized by a continuous modification of structures and company headquarters, in order to make it more complex to trace back to the real property.

In some cases these are business networks, through which they control the entire supply chain of activities related to a specific economic sector: in the gaming sector, for example, there were connected companies that dealt with the installation and maintenance of slot machines and video lotteries, as well as the management of dining rooms and catering services ".

As reported by the report, the enduring camorra criminal life is not only guaranteed by a suffocating social infiltration,connivance with the so-called white-collar workers, who are also entrusted with the task of hiding the treasures of the clans ".

These, according to the DIA, are" accumulated above all through the trafficking of drugs, exercised today in different ways than in the past, since they are entrusted to expert brokers, able to import drugs from foreign countries, stock the goods and distribute them to wholesalers ".

The different behaviors of the Camorra clans
The semi-annual report of the DIA points out that the criminal dynamics of the Camorra clans " continue to be particularly complex, and coexist, often in the same area, different groups by structure and operational choices:

alongside minor associations, mainly dedicated to the control of illegal activities in the territory of respective influence, historical and structured organizations operate, such as the Mazzarella , the Licciardi and Contini in the Neapolitan capital, the Mallards , the Moccias , the Nuvolettas , the Polverinos and the Orlandoes in the province, the Casalesi in the Casertano area, increasingly projected to extend their range of action to other regions and abroad ".

If for the former" violence is a necessary instrument of criminal affirmation , "the latter" tend to shun glaring actions and always appear more oriented to control the legal markets, tightening relationships with the business world, public administrations and politicians ".

Numerous districts of Naples and many other areas of Campania, controlled by premature clans, in fact, write the employees of the DIA, are marked by a climate of violence enacted by those convicted who shoot inside the shops, regardless of the possibility of hitting innocent people.this magmatic situation with serious consequences for public security ".

Criminal phenomena, like those of the" extended "ones, are in all respects, according to the study, synonymous with a juvenile deviance that does not seem to stop. They are the youngest, in fact," from degraded family and metropolitan contexts ", the main protagonists of these episodes of unjustified aggression or clashes between gangs.

Not only." The state of social unease and widespread illegality that characterizes large areas of the Campania region, the coexistence of true Camorra organizations and own, urban gangster groups and gangs of young delinquents - reads -makes it possible for the former to be able, at any time, to count on armies of hundreds of people, also consisting of minors employed as lookouts, arms transporters, couriers at home for the delivery of drugs, even to the commission of murders ". question " is clearly perceptible - continues the report - a cause-effect relationship between social and family degradation and youth deviance ."


The phenomenon of juvenile crime, is mentioned in the report, was also the subject of the plenary session of the High Council of the Judiciary held in Naples on 11 September 2018, during which it was notified that "juvenile delinquency is not an emergency but a gangrenous problem with which we have been measuring for a long time ".


relation give caserta
The Casalesi clan


The
report of the DIA also shows that although the powerful alliances of the Casalesi clan with the Neapolitan groups such as the Moccia di Afragola and the Mallards of Giugliano in Campania are still solid , with the repentance of the chieftain 's son Schiavone said " Sandokan "the famous mafia family of Caserta suffered a severe blow. "

An important element of novelty with respect to the criminal assets of the Caserta area is to be found in the choice, in July 2018, of collaboration with the justice of Nicola Schiavone ", the investigators write. As regards the illegal activities of the Campania clans, and in particular in the Salerno area, "the infiltration of contracts - for the construction of public works, for the provision of services (particularly delicate is that of the collection and disposal of solid urban waste), for the maintenance of infrastructure and state property - continues to represent a sector of primary interest of criminal organizations, which also involves unfaithful entrepreneurs and public officials "."

The corruption of the latter - the document continues -represents the picklock that allows Camorra organizations to infiltrate the public administration and influence its management.

Where corruption attempts should be in vain, there is a criminal escalation that goes from threats to actual intimidation, as happened in the municipality of Agropoli, in which a series of intimidation actions were recorded by the local Marotta group, for to induce the mayor to assign jobs and social housing to the affiliates ".


Still on the Casalesi in the report July-December of the Diaries the investigators show another point of strength of the criminal cartel. Or"the ability to use the illicit proceeds in entrepreneurial activities, creating a real empire, capable of producing profits and acquiring social consensus through the employment in commercial activities of reference of the association ", reads the balance sheet of the second semester Dia.

" The vastness of this empire is attested by the numerous seizure orders issued over the years to entrepreneurs who have made their companies available to the cartel ." An action method confirmed also in the detailed report.

Finally, the employees notify a particular threat addressed to a collaborator of justice already affiliated to the Clara Zagaria appeared on October 10 last year in San Cipriano d'Aversa. "Whoever enters this house is a penitent "is the written appearance on the building.

An 'indicative' message against the collaborators of justice, according to the investigators, on the situation organized crime in the Caserta area. The uninhabited building, in 2013 was seized in execution of a decree of the prevention measures section of the Court of Santa Maria Capua Vetere.

"So far the judicial inquiries, the state of detention of almost all the founders and of numerous historical affiliates, the collaboration with the justice of prominent exponents do not seem having in any case radically influenced the previous structures, as happened in some Neapolitan areas ", is added to the Dia budget."

Many important exponents - they explain -even if restricted in prison, they control the areas of influence, giving orders to the outside, while the organization's leaders, gregarious and supporters continue to enjoy the benefits of belonging to the society, such as financial assistance in prison, the costs of justice and the sustenance of the family ".

Mallardo clan splinters, at the bar the drug store in Giugliano
Of Internapoli editorial staff -March 27, 2019




The hearing was celebrated this morning in the trial that sees the splinter group of the Mallardo clan that has the stronghold in the Palazzine di Giugliano at the dock.

At the bar Davide Barbato, Gennaro Catuogno 'or squirrel, Domenico Chiariello' Mimmuccio ', Ernesto Cuciniello, Aniello Di Biase, Francesco Di Nardo,
Giuseppe Mele' or chiattone and Crescenzo Panico 'or Pippone.

The accusation is that of accused of association aimed at drug trafficking issued by the investigating judge of Naples.

All the defendants have chosen to be tried with the Abbreviated Rite, except for Catuogno, who will instead be judged by the Ordinary rite. The next hearing, before Judge Fabio Provvisier,for the discussion of the parties, it was updated to September 10th.

The pm is Antonella Serio of the DDA of Naples. In the defensive college, among others, the lawyers Michele Giametta, Antonio Giuliano Russo, Luigi Poziello, Alessandro Caserta, Celestino Gentile, Alfonso Palumbo, Salvatore Cacciapuoti, Mauro Zollo, Giuliano Russo and Beniamino Mammarella.



The investigation
They are all people already known to the police and the recipients of the order executed this morning against the group of the Palazzinari of the Mallardo clan were already in prison.

Some are old bosses of the Mallardo clan from which they then broke away, others are the young talents who shared the criminal line of the nascent group of Palazzine. The operation was carried out by the carabinieri of the investigative nucleus of Castello di Cisterna




ROLES OF EVERY AFFILIATE
The roles of the various components emerge in the order

Michele Di Biase: financier of the association, coordinator of the relationships between the various components of the operating structure, guaranteeing in fact the marketing of the drug

Gennaro Catuogno 'or squirrel: the marketing of the drug is authorized based on its proximity to the Mallardo clan (

Aniello Di Biase and Giuseppe Mele: they promoted, directed and organized the association and coordinated the various reports, redistributing the illicit profits

Davide Barbato, Domenico Chiariello 'Mimmuccio', Ernesto Cuciniello, Francesco Di Nardo: they dealt with the distribution and sale of drugs

Crescenzo Panico 'o Pippone: he kept the organization's accounts taking care of the collection and custody of the money collected by the individual buyers.

.

Characters
At the head of the group were Gennaro Catuogno 'or squirrel and Aniello Di Biase. Speaking of Catuogno was the penitent Giuliano Pirozzi : «He is my wife's uncle, as my mother-in-law and his wife are sisters, so I know him perfectly.


I had family as well as Camorra relationships with Gennaro Catuogno. He was with me one thing in criminal affairs. " These are some of the statements taken from the deposition of Giuliano Pirozzi, the white collar of the Mallardo clan, in the trial against Francesco Mallardo, known as o 'chiatto, accused of insurance fraud with the aggravating circumstance of having favored the Mallardo clan.

Of 'Paparella', since October there is no news, O 'Scoiattolo had a particular bond. And it is clear from the words of the collaborator of justice Giuliano Pirozzi . «Together with Michele Di Biase they were a steady couple, by nature he was a great camorrista.

Not only that he was a man of confidence and was one of the architects of the victory of the Mallardo clan over the Maistos, so much so that he said in the last period, together with Michele Di Biase and others, strong of their past, they had been put a bit like senators for life. They only sent him money and had power over everything. "

It all started in 2014, when the leaders of the Mallardo clan ended up in jail.

From that moment, taking advantage of the power vacuum, the Palazzine group, which until then had remained on the sidelines, decided to contravene the order of the Ciccio Mallardo boss and started selling narcotics in the territory.

Several families joined in the new business: the Di Biase family, led by the boss Michele called Paparella, his son Aniello, Gennaro Catuogno known as' o scioiattolo, the d'Alterio alias Piripicci, the De Simone, the Marano and the Smarrazzo.

This is the nucleus of the new criminal group that, through the sale of drugs and extortion, has made its way from 2014 to today, first reaching an agreement with the historic group of Mallards with which it then went into conflict sparking a feud that led to ambushes, purges and murders.


The first to fall was Michele De Biase, who disappeared in October 2015.


His car was found in the Vasto neighborhood in Naples stained with blood. Even today there is no trace of his body. From that moment on it was a succession of events of blood, interspersed with a pact of non-belligerence between the opposing factions lasted very little.

The three groups agreed to divide the extortion activities on the territory, to make common cash and to share the profits. "The Mallards had tolerated the activity of the group of buildings - write the magistrates - but over time the contrasts had intensified for the management of illicit activities and for the division of the relative proceeds, frictions which then led to the long trail of blood starting from the ambushes to Michele di Biase, his son Aniello and Catuogno ”.

These criminal episodes are framed by the magistrates of the DDA as a real internal purge wanted by the old bosses for two reasons: both because they had violated the order to sell to Giugliano and because the boss Ciccio seems to have been afraid that Michele Di Biase could acquire more power and undermine leadership in the territory.


Among those arrested there is also Davide Barbato: he was arrested in March last year in Giugliano because he was surprised in possession of a semiautomatic caliber 9 parabellum pistol with abraded serial number and 10 cartridges in the magazine that he kept hidden in a video recorder in disuse in the basement and will be sent to the racis of Rome to verify its possible use in facts of blood or intimidation.

A 'respectable' criminal curriculum, to use a eufemisco, that of Domenico Chiariello, involved in the assault on the supermecato Sisa di Qualiano that led to the death of the young Giuseppe D'Aniello and the arrest of his accomplice Francesco Sarracino.


The Salerno Surveillance Court has allowed to expiate the residual sentence, another 4 years, in a community of recovery for drug addicts of the territory. Despite the heavy charges against him (2 aggravated robberies, possession and possession of 2 clandestine weapons with abridged matriculation and receiving of scooter number plates, ed), he left the Eboli prison.


In September 2015 the 35-year-old from Giugliano was sentenced to eight years in prison by the court of Naples North. The prosecutor's request was for 12 years of imprisonment, but the investigating judge considered that a lower sentence was applied, also due to the benefits of the reduction of one third provided for by the Abbreviated procedure.

Then in the Court of Appeal in Naples he obtained a penalty discount, receiving a sentence of 6 years and 8 months in prison.

Ernesto Cuciniello , the only one in the wild, was nevertheless known to the chronicles for the 2008 arrest when he was arrested for the robbery at the Banca Intesa San Paolo branch.

Even Pino Mele he is a well-known character. The young man is known for having committed a robbery in the province of Treviso, together with other accomplices, in which they shot a jeweler who had tried to react to a robbery, seriously injuring him and forcing him to a long hospitalization.

The story, especially in the area where the coup occurred, is having a wide media coverage because all the authorities of the coup are on the loose, also due to the slowness of Italian justice.

A criminal story that has also intertwined with a bloody event in Qualiano on May 31, 2014, when one of his accomplices in the robbery in Treviso, the 22-year-old Giuseppe D'Aniello, was killed while trying with an accomplice to take away the collection of the Sisa supermarket in Via Di Vittorio, by a carabiniere free from the service.

Despite the sentence of 10 years for the coup in Veneto, then reduced to 7 years in Appeal, Mele was practically at large, because he had never been to the institution to which he had been entrusted, but was actually domiciled in fact at a his aunt in close contact with the underworld in which he grew up.

Which then led him to try to make the "qualitative leap" by approaching one of Mallardo's local ras, Michele De Biase, which exposed him to the police investigation that stopped him and hunted him in this period.

Francesco Di Nardo, and Crescenzo Panico 'o Pippone were already in the cell because they were involved in the order of the Palazzine group which led to the zeroing of the rebel cosca.

The reasons for the Demerger


"The splitters were hunted by the same Mallards because they violated the order not to sell to Giugliano".

The division within the Mallardo clan was actually a purge wanted by the historical leaders of the cosca because they disobeyed the order to pass off in Giugliano.


The rift between the historical group and the emerging one of the Palazzine is above all on the control of the drug market. The latter would have created a drug dealing business in Giugliano, which has always been banned by the bosses Francesco and Ciccio who have, over time, preferred to become "middle class" by investing illicit capital in activities in the economic sector.

Around him he joined the discontented of the Mallardo clan, those who in the course of time had been excluded from the historic criminal family and young offspring who took the bones out of theft and robbery.

His head lift, and that of his father, has not been frowned upon by the historic group of Mallardo.In the last year there have been several police and carabinieri operations in the territory of the third city of Campania,


Some of those arrested are linked, directly or indirectly to one of the two factions, while others work in autonomy from the underworld, taking advantage of the lack of tight controls that was there before. In the past, in fact, those who were found to be dealing without authorization to Giugliano were beaten or even shot.

In Gomorrah, it says....

" The clans affiliated with the Secondigliano Alliance- the Licciardi, Contini, Mallardo, LoRusso, Boschetti, Stabile, Prestieri, and Bosti families, as well as the more autonomous Sarno and DiLauro families...

The Lo Russos, I believe were the catalyst for the split in the Alliance, a bad shipment of heroin, multiple overdoses or something.

The Prestieris were I believe DiLauro allies, so when they had thier troubles, they were probably affected. They also had a ton of arrest in that clan.

I think, after the war within the Alliance, the Mazzarella clan probably backed a coalition of families for control of the Center-City. The Bosti clan is still firmly with the Alliance. Also the Aieta clan apparently has 3 women all married to Mallardo, Bosti, and Contini family bosses, all the women influential in the clan.


The Mazzarella was always a financially powerful clan, not militarily. It's why they all had to band together to fight off Cutolo.

I think being a financial power is more valuable than being a militant power. Of course you need both but the more powerful financial Nuova Famiglia beat Cutolo.

The Naples Flying Squad arrested 30-year-old Antonio De Martino, believed to be related to Ponticelli's De Micco clan: according to investigators, he was one of the two killers who, on 10 October 2015, shot Nunzia D'Amico, the "Passilona", in the Conocal district, killing the female boss and paving the way for the "Bodo" ​​clan.

Camorra, brutal murders and loads of coca in the hinterland. In the cell the deep throat of the clans
Already a member of one of the deadliest organized crime groups, that of the boss of Casalesi Giuseppe Setola, 60-year-old Alfredo Barasso has a lot to tell about the Camorra. And he decided to do so, immediately after the arrest of the Civil Guard in Valencia, Spain, and after the extradition: in the first interrogation with the prosecutor, he declared that he intended to provide full availability.

A capo of the Camorra: "The independence of Catalonia is a curtain to operate without making noise"
The reporter David Beriain discovers in 'Clandestino in Spain' (DMax) how the Camorra has turned Barcelona into the nerve center of its illegal businesses on the Mediterranean coast.



The journalist interviews several capos. Among them one that has 20 people working in Spain (in addition to many kids). He says he has so many businesses in Barcelona that he can't even count them. And he affirms that the independence of Catalonia is "a curtain" so that the camorra can operate in the shade, "without making noise". They move "a lot of money, a lot." They don't have it stopped, he says, "because if he doesn't take dust." You invest in businesses such as restaurants, discos, hotels ... Without any shame, he explains: "We have so many things that it would take us one day to explain them." The gangster explains that in the newspapers we only talk about politics and independence, "and in the meantime, we do our business in the shade." And they don't like publicity, he admits Beriain with a sneer, hiding his face behind a balaclava. "We have 100 buildings in Diagonal Mar alone, we have built many skyscrapers." It is the so-called 'washer' of murky money.

Another boss of one of the strongest clans will teach the reporter how the narcos bring cocaine inside pineapples, and will tell him about his relationship with the Camorra and the multiple ways they have of introducing the drug into the port of Barcelona.

The journalist also meets Maurizio Prestieri , an important ex-camp of the Neapolitan mafia with whom he meets in Madrid to explain why our country is the preferred place for the mafia to launder money, traffic and take refuge. After being arrested in Marbella in 2003, Prestieri spent several years in prison and now collaborates with the police as a confidant. "Benidorm, Alicante, Torrevieja, Barcelona ... It is not necessary to be a scientist to know what happens. Someday it will be known as the" españacamorra ", assures the excapo.
