Naples investigation leads to 13 arrests in Camorra-linked corruption probe

An investigation by the Naples District Anti-Mafia Directorate has resulted in 13 precautionary measures, including nine arrests in prison and four under house arrest, involving a suspected corruption network linked to the Veneruso clan. The probe targets an alleged system of interference in public tenders, involving entrepreneurs, politicians, and public officials across the Naples metropolitan area, specifically in Volla, Casoria, Somma Vesuviana, and Cercola.

Among those arrested is Tommaso Casillo, the chairman of Soresa, the regional agency managing healthcare procurement in Campania. Casillo is accused of receiving bribes to favor specific companies in two separate tenders: a 23.8 million euro contract for hospital stretcher rentals and a 29.6 million euro waste management tender in Somma Vesuviana.

Other high-profile individuals under investigation include Giuliano Di Costanzo, the mayor of Volla, and former Member of Parliament Teresa Manzo. The investigation also involves a high-ranking regional official and several entrepreneurs, including Mario and Marco Langella, who are accused of involvement in mafia association and corruption. Authorities have also ordered the preventive seizure of a company based in Volla.
