Arzano. Housing occupied by clans: the municipality of Arzano does not intervene and the Camorra thanks. Silence, shadows, alleged omissions and a situation bordering on the unbelievable is what is happening in the town north of Naples that has hit the headlines for the constant and pressing presence of the Camorra. The houses owned by the Municipality, those acquired as municipal assets and those built with post-earthquake funds, are said to be occupied by individuals without title or believed to be linked to the Camorra clans that call the shots in the area, benefiting from the bureaucratic slowness of the institution. But who should check? In Arzano the Camorra does pretty much whatever it wants, so much so that in the 167 district of via Colombo (the clan's operational base), there are so many obvious building violations both outside the agglomeration and in some areas occupied by bosses and henchmen, that a "normal" citizen has difficulty metabolizing it as something normal and suffering it with the same tranquility as the political and bureaucratic bodies of the institution seem to suffer it. Undue occupation by individuals, some of whom are perhaps close to the Amato - Pagano clan who have been using apartments in via Medi for years. While there is no total control over the post-earthquake housing in via Tavernola. Not to mention the building violations in the 167 district with fences, walls, openings of rooms, merging of real estate units and the failure to separate waste. We are talking about the neighborhood of via Colombo, where just getting close to it triggers the interest of lookouts and lookouts stationed day and night on the sides of the two streets that intersect the group of public housing. The same thing happens for those who enter and leave the neighborhood, and even worse if it is a relative unknown to the lookouts who comes to visit you: Identification is triggered. At the head of the clan, at least from what transpires from the latest arrest warrant against a dozen affiliates, there is the fugitive Giuseppe Monfregolo, who escaped capture last December and is still a fugitive. And politics? Completely absent.
