Domenico Napolitano takes command of Italy's SCICO

A military ceremony was held at the ‘Ten. Col. M. A. V. M. Vittorio Galiano’ barracks in Rome to mark a change in leadership at the Servizio Centrale Investigazione Criminalità Organizzata (SCICO).

Brigadier General Domenico Napolitano has assumed the role of Commander, succeeding Division General Antonio Nicola Quintavalle Cecere. General Quintavalle Cecere is stepping down after four years to take on the position of Regional Commander for Puglia. During his tenure, SCICO strengthened its coordination of investigations with territorial units and enhanced its technical support through advanced software and IT research to identify criminal assets.

General Napolitano, 56, previously served as the Provincial Commander in Palermo for the last four years. His career includes operational leadership roles in Reggio Calabria, Naples, and Palermo, focusing on combating organized crime.
