Camorra

The Camorra is a notorious mafia organization based in Naples, Italy, operating primarily in the Campania region. It is one of Italy's oldest and largest criminal organizations, known for its involvement in various illicit activities, including drug trafficking, extortion, and murder. The Camorra's influence extends throughout the region, impacting local economies and communities. Recent news focuses on the arrest of Roberto Mazzarella, the head of the Mazzarella clan, a significant faction within the Camorra. Mazzarella, a fugitive wanted for murder since January 2025, was apprehended in a luxury villa on the Amalfi Coast. His capture highlights the ongoing efforts of Italian authorities to combat organized crime and dismantle mafia networks. The discovery of a Roman villa on land confiscated from the Camorra further underscores the organization's historical reach and the government's attempts to reclaim assets acquired through illegal means.
