The accusation is of environmental disaster of one of the most beautiful and famous places in the world: the Faraglioni of Capri.
This is the main charge against two criminal organizations that, in order to obtain sea dates, devastated the marine ecosystem of the Gulf of Naples, causing significant damage to the Faraglioni rocks of Capri. An investigation by the prosecutor's office Finance Guard has led to 19 precautionary measures, with 6 people in prison, 6 under house arrest, three bans on residing in Naples and 4 obligations to report to the judicial police for criminal association aimed at environmental crimes, including devastation, precisely, measures signed by the investigating judge Egle Pilla, who 'summarized' in less than half the 1.100 pages of the request for restrictive measures.

The prosecutors also called on a group of experts, including A group of experts, coordinated by Professor Giovanni Fulvio Russo and Marco Sacchi of Ismar-Cnr, to understand what was happening under the water. The Faraglioni, according to the experts, suffered damage to 48% of their underwater walls.
THE VOLUME OF TURNOVER
The turnover of the two groups, one Neapolitan and the other between Castellammare and Capri, was large, given that dates cost from 40 to 200 euros per kilo and that two of the leaders of the Neapolitan group in a few months had marketed 8 quintals of this illegal but highly sought-after product. In a wiretap, then, one of the suspects boasted of having earned 20 thousand euros in a few months. A sea date takes 30 years to wedge itself into the wall and become desirable. The investigation, which covers a time span of three years, was complex from a regulatory point of view, given that it applies that charge for the first time in a marine context, and in any case it is not yet concluded.
wiretaps and secret codes
In particular, over 100 individuals, identified during the investigations, are operating in various capacities in the 'black market' of the date mussel. In the intercepted conversations, a secret code is often used to avoid explicit reference to the protected species, in full awareness of the illicit nature of the related trade.
The crimes contested are aggravated criminal association aimed at committing environmental crimes, pollution and environmental disaster, damage and receiving stolen goods.
The six suspects were placed in prison: these are the leaders of the two gangs, considered responsible for the ecosystem devastation caused by the unscrupulous harvesting of dates from the coasts of Naples and Capri. For the other six, house arrest was decided.

Four will be required to report daily to the Judicial Police offices and three have been banned from living in the area. In particular, two soldiers, investigated for aiding and abetting and revealing official secrets, will not be able to live in the Campania Region.
THE SEIZURES OF THE WAREHOUSES IN NAPLES AND CASTELLAMMARE
The order also provides for the preventive seizure of three commercial premises, located in Naples and Castellammare di Stabia, where the dates were hidden and then placed on the market, the seizure of the profits deriving from the sale of the illegal product, the seizure of two vessels used by the suspects to reach the collection points of the protected species, as well as, finally, of all the equipment used to physically carry out the activity.
The alteration of the marine ecosystem and the compromise of biodiversity, ascertained with the collaboration of a team of experts in zoology, ecology and environmental geology used by the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office, is particularly serious in the submerged portion of the external reef that protects the port of Naples and in the Faraglioni area of Capri. Vast areas investigated have revealed themselves to be desertified, with the almost total disappearance of the protected species and associated biodiversity.
