Lor drug dealing in the Mondragone area, in the Caserta area, under the control of the La Torre clan. This is the crux of an investigation by the Carabinieri of the company of the town on the Domitian coast that led to the execution of 15 precautionary measures issued by the investigating judge of Naples in the provinces of Caserta, Naples and Benevento; 13 suspects are in prison, one has been granted house arrest and one is the recipient of a measure prohibiting residence. Among those arrested, Francesco Tiberio La Torre, 31, son of the historic clan leader Augusto. The crimes contested, to varying degrees, range from criminal association aimed at drug trafficking, to possession and dealing of drugs, money laundering and personal aiding and abetting. The investigation covers a time span that goes from September 2015 to May 2016, and is based on wiretaps and video footage. The criminal group imported significant quantities of crack, cocaine and hashish for dealing in the Domitian coast, and in particular in the municipality of Mondragone, obtaining supplies in the Naples area or through Albanians. During the investigations, arrests were carried out in flagrante, drug seizures and reports were made for individual episodes of dealing; the 'orders' for drugs came from telephone requests. A case of laundering a car of illicit origin was also discovered. The top of the group, in addition to the boss's son, was made up of Vincenzo De Crescenzo, 62 years old and Salvatore De Crescenzo, 41 years old.
