It is the new definition that summarizes data, episodes, confessions, relationships. The Camorra is "a criminal reality that is difficult to frame in a unitary definition, which today more than ever appears strong and dynamic, with extensive control of the regional territory, a close relationship with politics and institutions in some areas, a vast national and international projection, where it plays a leading role in the global drug market and in distribution networks". This is what we read in the Report of the Parliamentary Anti-Mafia Commission presented today at the end of the legislature. The report analyzes the emerging phenomenon of youth gangs that are now increasingly widespread and dangerously active, especially in Naples, in the search for criminal ascent within the most structured clans. "The Camorra has also shown an evolutionary process towards a more accentuated entrepreneurial vocation". The report describes in detail the evolution of the Apulian mafias, developing the analysis of the plural territorial mafias which, in Apulia, sees from one end of the region to the other what remains of the Sacra Corona Unita, but also of the Bari mafia, "with its marked similarity to the Neapolitan Camorra, and above all the violent Foggia and Gargano mafias, which in this phase represent the element of greatest danger due to their ferocity, as well as a metaphor for the long underestimation that has allowed them to grow".
