Savarese-Pirozzi clan investigation in Naples

Overview

In September 2026, Carmine Grosso, a former leader associated with the Pirozzi-Savarese and Misso clans, began cooperating with justice officials in Naples. Grosso provided testimony regarding the criminal landscape and power struggles within the Sanità district, detailing past assaults by various groups and attempts by criminal elements to recruit him for cocaine trafficking and illegal gambling.

By October 2026, the investigation into the Savarese-Pirozzi clan moved toward a trial following a large-scale police operation in March that resulted in more than 70 arrests. Grosso is expected to testify in upcoming abbreviated trial proceedings to provide evidence against clan leadership, including Salvatore Savarese and Ciro Mauro. Prosecutors view the group as a potential vehicle for the Mazzarella clan to seize control of the Sanità district, while defendants are pursuing fast-tracked legal proceedings to seek sentence reductions.
