The municipality of Marano has faced significant administrative scrutiny following reports regarding potential mafia infiltration and systemic vulnerabilities. An anti-mafia access report identified critical risks involving former local officials, including Teresa Giaccio, Francesco Santoro, and Luigi Baiano. The report highlighted concerns such as family ties to individuals with criminal records and the management of off-balance sheet debts, noting these factors contribute to a framework of administrative vulnerability.

In response to the municipality's dissolution, former Mayor Matteo Morra has used social media to contest the decision. Morra has specifically targeted a prefectural report concerning local police commander Maria Silvia De Luca. However, the official prefectural findings are more extensive, covering a broad range of administrative behaviors, the operation of the local police command, and investigations into commemorative artifacts or murals linked to criminal environments. Additionally, the Napoli Nord court has declared Morra ineligible to run for office.
