They put the entrepreneur who was the victim of extortion before a choice: 30 thousand euros or his Jeep “Renegade”.
QFour extortionists from the Casalesi clan, all from Casal di Principe, including a leading member of the mafia gang, Giovanni Della Corte, were arrested during the night and taken to prison by the Carabinieri on the orders of the investigating judge of the Court of Naples, as part of an investigation coordinated by the Naples District Anti-Mafia Directorate. The measures were carried out by the Carabinieri of the Casal di Principe Company, who also carried out the investigations. With the 57-year-old Della Corte, captured in Vasto, where he was domiciled in a workhouse as he was subject to the relevant security measure, Vincenzo Luca, 44, already convicted of Camorra crimes, Salvatore Massaro, 69, and Paolo Piccirillo, 57, ended up in prison; the suspects are charged with extortion with the aggravating circumstances of the mafia method and facilitation.

Della Corte has also already been convicted of Camorra, and in Casal di Principe, with all the historic bosses in prison, he played a leading role in the clan. The investigation revealed that De Luca, Massaro and Piccirillo allegedly attempted to extort 2020 euros from a Casal di Principe construction entrepreneur in February 30.000 as a bribe to be given to inmates affiliated with the Clan and their families, or alternatively his Jeep Renegade; the victim was also threatened with death. Della Corte is instead accused of having asked for and obtained the bribe on four occasions, between 2016 and 2019, from another Casal di Principe construction entrepreneur; in particular, he allegedly had 1000 euros delivered to him during the Christmas period in order to facilitate the activities of the criminal group.
