Augusto would eventually become a pentito in January The Camorra operated in the United States , primarily in New York City, between the midth century and early 20th century.
They rivaled the now defunct Morello crime family for power in New York City. Eventually, they melded with early Italian-American Mafia groups.
In the s, many Camorra members and associates fled the internecine gang warfare and Italian justice, which was directed at suppressing the groups, and immigrated to the United States.
According to the FBI , it is believed that nearly Camorra affiliates operate in the country. Although they did not appear to recreate their clan structure in the United States, Camorra members have established a presence in Los Angeles , New York City, and Springfield, Massachusetts.
In , the Obama administration imposed sanctions on the Camorra as one of four key transnational organized crime groups, along with the Brothers' Circle from Russia, the Yamaguchi-gumi Yakuza from Japan, and Los Zetas from Mexico.
According to the media, there have always been alliances between the Camorra and the 'Ndrangheta members. On 26 August , Domenico Tripodo , a powerful 'Ndrangheta boss of the time, was stabbed to death in prison on the request of the De Stefano 'ndrina , and with the help of Camorra boss Raffaele Cutolo , the boss of the Nuova Camorra Organizzata NCO who worked with the De Stefano's in drug trafficking.

In , investigations of the Italian police reveals links between the Contini clan and the Crupi brothers, members of the powerful Commisso 'ndrina.
Both organizations are reportedly cooperating in the drug trafficking business. Several Camorra clans have lasting relationships with the Cosa Nostra.
Prominent elements of the Mafia such as Salvatore Riina , Leoluca Bagarella , Luciano Leggio and Bernardo Provenzano found themselves in contact with Camorra clans such as the Nuvoletta clan , members of the Camorra such as Michele Zaza and Antonio Bardellino , and with other groups that formed the Nuova Famiglia confederation in the s.
In the past, the Russo clan had links with the Mafia, particularly in the s and s, at the time of the Corleonesi Mafia era. In , the Direzione Investigativa Antimafia of Catania dismantled a scheme between the Camorra's Mallardo clan and Casalesi clan and members of the powerful Catania's mafia family, led by Vincenzo Enrico Augusto Ercolano, son of Giuseppe Ercolano deceased, but once an important member of the Catania's mafia and Grazia Santapaola, the sister of the historical boss Benedetto Santapaola.
According to the pentito Domenico Verde, the Polverino clan has a good relationship with the Cosa Nostra families from Palermo , in particular thanks to the drug trafficking business.
This organization operated in various cities of Apulia during the s. According to the pentito Antonio Accurso, the Di Lauro clan has several links to the Sacra Corona Unita in question with regards to drug trafficking.
The vast network of drug traffickers, extended from Morocco , passing through Spain , Switzerland and the Netherlands to finally arrive in Trentino and in Bolzano.
Arriving in Italy, the drugs were sold in parks, historic centers and near schools by mainly Tunisian and Moroccan pushers.
Nineteen people were arrested, four are still being wanted in Italy, Spain and in the Netherlands and seventy-three are under investigation.
The links between the South American drug cartels and Camorra clans dates back to at least the s, having stabilized numerous privileged drug channels from South America to Europe over the years.
According to investigations, the Camorra member Tommaso Iacomino allegedly negotiated with the head of Peruvian and Colombian drug cartels over the cocaine trade.
Giuseppe Gallo called 'o pazz the crazy one , boss of the Limelli-Vangone clan, is said to having contacts with Colombian drug traffickers able to reach agreements for the purchase of large quantities of cocaine, supplying various clans in the Naples area.
According to the reports, the drug was found in 19 bags inside a container that arrived from Colombia. The container was headed to Naples but was intercepted at the port of Genoa.
On 18 December , the Italian police arrested 12 people, including members of an international drug cartel dedicated to the drug trafficking between Colombia and Italy.
According to the investigations, the cocaine brought from Colombia was pure and of high quality, and when it arrived in Italy, it was sold at a "retail" price of euros per gram, all the scheme was managed by Camorra members.
According to the Direzione Investigativa Antimafia, the Albanian mafia has alliances with the Mazzarella clan and with the Scissionisti di Secondigliano, both from Naples and with the Serino clan, from Salerno.
Saviano spoke of the Albanian mafia as a "no longer foreign mafia" to Italy and stressed that the Albanians and Italians have a "brotherly" relationship with each other.
Saviano notes that the Camorra feels great affinity with the Albanian crime families because both organizations are based on family ties.
According to the expert on terrorist organizations and mafia-type organized crime Antonio De Bonis, there is a close relationship between the Triads and the Camorra, and the port of Naples is the most important landing point of the trades managed by the Chinese groups in cooperation with the Camorra.
Among the illegal activities in which the two criminal organizations work together are the human trafficking and illegal immigration aimed at the sexual and labor exploitation of the Chinese compatriots into Italy, the synthetics drug trafficking and the laundering of illicit money through the purchase of real estate.
In , investigators discovered a scheme between the Camorra and the Chinese gangs. They exported industrial waste from Italy to China that guaranteed million-dollar revenues for both organizations.
The industrial waste left Prato in Italy and arrived in Hong Kong. Among the Camorra clans involved in this alliance were the Casalesi clan , the Fabbrocino clan and the Ascione clan.
In the beginning, the Nigerians were not tolerated by the Camorra but in recent times both organizations are making alliances. The relations between the Camorra and Nigerian mafia concern mainly drug trafficking and prostitution.
In particular, Camorra members allowed the Nigeria gangs to organize the trafficking of women in the territory in exchange for a share on the earnings.
The Nigerian mafia produces synthetic drugs independently and sells them with the consent of the Camorra. This alliance, however, can change from one moment to another, as the Nigerians have asked to be treated on par with other Italian mafias, for the fact that they are growing both as a military and as an economic force.
According to numerous articles, the Camorra would be in alliances with the Islamic State. The allegations reached the media after the Italian police seized 14 tonnes of amphetamines produced in Syria by the Islamic State, on July 1, Camorra clans would bring the drugs to Italy and take a huge cut for helping to distribute them.
Yet according to the investigations, the drugs production provides the terrorist group with vital revenue for its militant activities.
These bills would then be transported to the Russian Mafia for distribution in 29 post- Eastern Bloc countries and former Soviet republics. In the s, the Ukrainian mafia cooperated with Camorra clans in the cigarette smuggling business.
The Ukrainians would smuggle the cigarettes from Ukraine and Eastern Europe into Italy, where with the help of the Camorra it supplies the Neapolitan market.
In March , a massive international arms trafficking ring was dismantled by the authorities of Italy and Austria and coordinated by Eurojust.
According to the investigations, the alliance between the Camorra and the Austrians lasted for seven years, until the police dismantled the scheme.
I dont know any cases, which are so big and where so many weapons have been sold. The new owners are also not "juvenile guarantors" but several members of the Camorra, one of the most dangerous criminal organizations in Europe.
The weapons are believed to have come originally from Eastern Europe taken to Carinthia in Austria with the objective to arrive in Terzigno near Naples.
DEA documents sent to the Dutch police exposed what would be a super drug cartel headed by Raffaele Imperiale Camorra's drugs and arms dealer , Ridouan Taghi former Dutch most wanted criminal, now in jail , Daniel Kinahan Irish drug trafficker and Edin G.
Bosnian drug trafficker. The meetings took place in , however, it only reached the Dutch media in October The DEA regards this as one of the world's fifty largest drug cartels, with a virtually monopoly of the Peruvian cocaine and would control around a third of the cocaine trade in Europe.
Yet, according to the DEA documents, the destination for all the drugs shipments would be the Dutch ports. With most of the old Camorra clans decapitated, and their bosses either dead or arrested, the organization is experiencing a rise in youth criminal gangs trying to take their places.
This phenomenon is called Paranza , Camorra terminology for a criminal group led by youngsters or "small fish". In , 19 year-old Emanuele Sibillo, considered one of the first young and leading bosses of this new generation, was shot dead by a rival baby gang.
We can clearly see the baby gangs are criminals, or people who want to have criminal careers. But there's a vacuum, because the traditional families have lost their leaders.
In the centre of Naples the bosses are either in prison or they've become state witnesses, so there's this kind of space for younger kids to appear.
They're 17 or 18 with criminal ambition, and they've got a sense of identity of what they want to do. According to Misso, the real power of the organization is now in the hands of the Licciardi clan , Mallardo clan , Moccia clan and Contini clan.
On 2 September , Ciro Mazzarella , one of the last historical godfathers of the Camorra, and head of the Mazzarella clan , died in his villa in the affluent neighbourhood of Posillipo , Naples at the age of According to reports, in , after the arrest of Marco Di Lauro , leader of the Di Lauro clan and fourth son of Paolo Di Lauro , the Contini clan became the most powerful clan of the Camorra, thanks to no internal split, and not having affiliates that became collaborators of justice.
The clan is present in the drugs trafficking, extortion, betting and counterfeiting, also investing hundreds of millions of euros in various countries of Europe.
On 23 April , the powerful boss Mario Fabbrocino , leader of the Fabbrocino clan, died in the hospital of the Parma prison, where he was serving a life sentence for ordering the murder of Roberto Cutolo, Raffaele Cutolo 's only son, in Since 26 June , Maria Licciardi was considered the most wanted fugitive belonging to the Camorra, after she managed to escape the huge police operation against her clan.
Now, Licciardi is considered a free woman, despite her known role as the head of the Secondigliano Alliance. She has always been very feared and respected for her impetuous nature.
According to the media, she is the figure that has well represented the image of the women inside the Camorra, the female symbol of leadership when men are detained or dead.
According to the reports of the DIA about the Camorra, the Mazzarella clan , despite the bloody war against the Rinaldi clan , still one of most powerful organizations in Campania , dominating the territory in various neighbourhoods, and having numerous groups under their influence, as the Ferraiuolo clan.
After a time inactive, the De Luca Bossa clan is believed to be gaining power again in the eastern area of Naples, specifically in Ponticelli , thanks to the merger with emergent groups as the Minichini and Schisa.
On 11 September , Antonino Di Lorenzo, known as o' lignammone, was killed in an ambush near his house in Casola di Napoli. Yet, according to the investigations, the killing happened thanks to the 'permission' of the clans from Castellammare di Stabia, who have always supervised the immensely lucrative marijuana trade from the region.
On 30 October , the release of two affiliates belonging to the Beneduce-Longobardi clan made the media headlines after they were received with a huge party in the neighborhood of Monterusciello, Pozzuoli.
Giovanni Illiano, 48, and Silvio De Luca, 41, were released after 8 years and 10 years in prison, respectively. More than a hundred of relatives and friends were waiting for them for a party with champagne, flashing nightclub lights, a large fireworks display and a concert of Anthony, a well known neomelodic singer of the area.
According to the investigations, he would have suffered a heart attack. According to numerous reports, the most powerful clans of the Camorra are the Secondigliano Alliance and the Mazzarella clan.
Both clans remain with full dominance of their territories while most of city experiences the growth of small and violent gangs headed by young guys between 17 and 25 years old.
In May , Patrizio Bosti , one of the most powerful Camorra bosses who is still alive and one of the leaders of the Secondigliano Alliance, was released from prison.
Bosti also claimed inhumane treatment while in prison, and will be compensated by the Italian state. The Camorra boss, that was serving a prison sentence since his arrest in Spain in , should have been released from prison in , however he was charged for three years and the halfway between early release and the time calculated as credit for the "inhuman treatment".
The new prison order concerns a recalculation of the sentence by the Emilia-Romagna judiciary, as he was serving his sentece in the region, on the basis of documents provided by the Naples Public Prosecutor.
According to the authorities, Bosti has to serve another six years in jail. For the film originally titled Camorra , see Gang War in Naples.

This philosophy additionally reduced construction costs; [11] and construction was skimped as funds were stolen, and the works were not finished.
Originally, the complex consisted of seven massive apartment blocks, and housed from 40, to 70, people, although a real headcount was never conducted.
Three of the seven blocks have been demolished, but some 40, people still live in the damaged structures. The idea behind the project was to provide a huge public housing project, where hundreds of families could socialize and create a community.
The planners wanted to create a small city model with large parks, playing fields, and other facilities. However, various causes have led to what is now regarded as a ghetto.
Right after the earthquake in , many families in the area were left homeless. Many of these families without shelter started to occupy the apartments illegally.
Tolerated and ignored by the government, more people started to occupy the buildings including criminals. Roberto Saviano wrote the book Gomorrah about organised criminality by the Camorra the Neapolitan mafia —with the Vele playing a big part—and discussed the Vele and their decline and criminality extensively in a long article about the demolition of the last of the sails in The first police station for the area was established in , fifteen years after people began occupying the apartments.
Following continuous protest by the residents who felt that their extensive problems could not be fixed, the intention to demolition of the complex was announced in One tower may be left as offices or a museum.
In , with the help of European funds, many projects were presented with the intention of retrain the area. Moreover, in many military forces have been placed outside the subway station of "Piscinola" and also in the vicinity of the "Vele" in order to offer more security to the area.
In many residents that lived in the "Vele" started being placed in the new buildings erected in an area close to the station, in order to carry on the project of demolishing them, in order to also eliminate the symbol of Camorra.
The project that has allowed this relocation has been actually named "Restart Scampia". Scenes from the movie Gomorrah were filmed in the neighbourhood in Many scenes, especially episodes of season two, were filmed in different Scampia's buildings.
It also includes actors who actually live in Scampia, like Christian Giroso. Le Vele di Scampia is featured by poet and writer Emanuele Cerullo , a resident of one of the buildings.
He describes through poetry the dreams and hopes of Scampia's adolescents, portraying a different view of living in this reality than that depicted by the media.

Um mehr soziales Ansehen zu gewinnen, war eine der Strategien der Camorra die politische Patronage. Die Familienclans wurden aufgrund ihrer Griffigkeit in der Gemeinde die bevorzugten Ansprechpartner der lokalen Politiker und Beamten.
Im Gegenzug nutzten die Familienbosse ihren politischen Einfluss, um sich und ihre Geschäfte gegen die lokalen Behörden zu schützen.
Durch eine Mischung aus roher Gewalt, politischem Status und sozialer Führung wurden die Clans der Camorra auf nationaler Ebene zu Vermittlern zwischen der lokalen Bevölkerung, den Bürokraten und Politikern.

Searching For The Camorra in Naples! 🇮🇹The Camorra has proven to be an extremely difficult organisation to fight within Italy. At —12 trial, Fabroni gave testimony on how complicated it was to successfully prosecute the Camorra: "The Camorrist has no political ideals.
He exploits the elections and the elected for gain. The leaders distribute bands throughout the town, and they have recoursed to violence to obtain the vote of the electors for the candidates whom they have determined to support.
Those who refuse to vote as instructed are beaten, slashed with knives, or kidnapped. All this is done with assurance of impunity, as the Camorrists will have the protection of successful politicians, who realize that they cannot be chosen to office without paying toll to the Camorra.
Unlike the Sicilian Mafia, which has a clear hierarchy and a division of interests, the Camorra's activities are much less centralised.

Det är ett misstag att betrakta Camorran som en kriminell organisation: Camorran är i första hand en ekonomisk organisation vars första strävan är att förvandla olagliga verksamheter till lagliga aktiviteter.
Nach dem Schriftsteller und Camorra-Experten Roberto Saviano spricht man in Neapel heute nicht mehr von der Camorra, sondern von il sistema das System.
Far la camorra , nel linguaggio ordinario, significa prelevar un diritto arbitrario e fraudolento. Die Camorra operiert in der gesamten Europäischen Union mit Drogenhandel , Waffenhandel , Produktpiraterie von Luxusgütern, illegaler Müllentsorgung und Schutzgelderpressung.
Roberto Saviano hält kriminelle Organisationen sogar für den Inbegriff von Internationalismus, da diese Syndikate mit modernsten Mitteln operieren und sich überdies untereinander verheiraten wie einst der europäische Hochadel.
Laut einer Studie von Eurispes seien die Gewinne der Camorra halbjährlich in etwa wie folgt:. Bei jedem bisherigen Versuch, die Camorra mit einer vertikalen hierarchischen Struktur zu reorganisieren, wurde als Modell die Struktur der Cosa Nostra genommen.
Solche Versuche sind jedoch immer aufgrund der Haltung der Köpfe verschiedener Familien fehlgeschlagen.
Aus diesem Grund ist es auch unangemessen, von der Camorra als einheitliches und organisches kriminelles Phänomen zu sprechen.
Seit hat sich die Camorra wiederholt eigene Statuten gegeben, die sogenannten frieni. Die ganze Region in und um Neapel wurde von der Camorra schon Mitte des Jahrhunderts in zwölf Zonen eingeteilt, welche meist von mehreren Clans beherrscht werden: [22] Zu den dominierenden Clans gehört die sogenannte Alleanza di Secondigliano , die vor allem von den Clans Licciardi, Di Lauro und Contini-Bosti repräsentiert wird.
Trotz ihrer Herkunft hat die Camorra auch Dependancen in anderen italienischen Regionen wie der Lombardei , [23] [24] [25] Piemont [26] [27] und der Emilia-Romagna.
Jahrhunderts und Anfang des Sie wetteiferte in einem Krieg gegen die sizilianisch-stämmige Mafia bzw. Viele Camorra-Mitglieder und Assoziierte flohen aufgrund von Bandenkriegen und der italienischen Justiz aus Italien und wanderten in den er Jahren in die Vereinigten Staaten aus.
Antonio betrieb mehrere legitime Geschäfte in Aberdeen, während sein Bruder Augusto dort illegale Geschäfte führte. Er wurde später in Schottland verurteilt und wartet auf seine Auslieferung nach Italien.
Seinem Beispiel folgten später viele seiner Männer. Giuseppe Baldini, der Vizekonsul der italienischen Regierung in Aberdeen, bestreitet, dass die Camorra noch eine starke Präsenz in Aberdeen hält.
In Deutschland ist die Camorra seit den er Jahren verstärkt aktiv. Diese, aus Giugliano in Campania stammend, soll unter ihrem Anführer Sabatino Ciccarelli den Kokainhandel in Deutschland organisiert haben.
In Offenbach wurde eine gesamte Lagerhalle voll Mafia-Gut sichergestellt. Die Camorra trat das erste Mal bedeutend während des chaotischen Machtvakuums in den Jahren zwischen und hervor, als auf die Parthenopäische Republik die Welle der Französischen Revolution und die sogenannten Bourbon-Restaurierung traf.
Die erste offizielle Erwähnung der Camorra als Organisation stammt aus dem Jahr , als die Polizei eine Disziplinarsitzung der Camorra — ein Tribunal, bekannt geworden als Gran Mamma — dokumentierte.
In diesem Jahr wurde auch erstmals eine schriftliche Satzung namens Il frieno entdeckt, welche eine stabile Organisationsstruktur in der Unterwelt aufzeigt.
Ein weiterer qualitativer Sprung war die Einigkeit zwischen der liberalen Opposition und der Camorra nach der Niederlage in der Revolution von Die Liberalen erkannten, dass sie Unterstützung der Bevölkerung brauchten, um den König zu stürzen.
Sie wandten sich an die Camorra und bezahlten sie, da die Camorristi die Führer der Stadt waren.
