Criminal activity involving the Camorra in Naples has manifested through both territorial intimidation and systemic economic infiltration.

In the Miano district, a ‘stesa’—a warning display of gunfire—occurred in the San Gaetano area. While no injuries were reported, investigators believe the incident reflects instability in local criminal control, as the Licciardi clan potentially attempts to reclaim territory formerly held by the Lo Russo clan.

Concurrently, the Naples District Anti-Mafia Directorate has moved against 45 individuals regarding the Naples-Bari high-speed rail construction project. Prosecutors allege that the ‘Mazzacane’ group infiltrated the supply chain through companies like Areco Srl. The investigation suggests that illicit relationships were used to secure advantages in public tenders, including expedited payments and subcontracting assignments, in exchange for luxury goods and cash.
