Naples, the gang of counterfeiters from the Vasto district run by women. All the names

IThe counterfeit banknote operations center was located at number 34 of Via Parma, in the heart of the Vasto district, owned by Giuseppina Parisi.

From here they left for all of Europe thanks to an army of people who also provided migrants with those from their countries of origin. A counterfeit 100 euro banknote cost just 8, a 50 euro banknote could be bought for 5 euros.

The gang controlled by Giusppina Parisi and other women Anna Catapano, Nunzia Pitirollo e Anna DeMartino (all ended up in prison) was defeated yesterday by the Carabinieri of the anti-counterfeiting group with a blitz that led to prison overall 9 Guests while others 10 they received the arrest echere the ban on residence a Naples.

In Bass by Giuseppina Parisi the hours were continuous from 8,30 to 19,30, Saturday and Sunday were holidays.

The banknotes were almost perfect, capable of fooling the most attentive eyes and, in some cases, even money-counting machines. The Carabinieri Anti-Counterfeiting Command (Noam) with Lieutenant Colonel operated for months, between wiretaps and tailings. Lorenzo Marinaccio.

The investigation lasted a year, starting fromFebruary 11, 2022, when the military identified a warehouse in the city, seizing a total of 288 thousand euros in counterfeit banknotes and arresting the first two people in flagrante delicto. A month later, in March 2022, they identified and arrested two French citizens and seized 16 thousand euros in counterfeit banknotes from them.

In May the police they found another safe deposit and found other items inside 175 thousand euros of counterfeit banknotes. In total almost half a million euros, but it was just the tip of the iceberg. A millionaire business if you consider that for each operation the counterfeiters were charged about 10 percent of the value of each fake banknote, but for this they demanded real money.

But it was the repentant who put the investigators on the right track Pasquale Matarazzo. The former head of camorra di Volla operating in the drug trafficking sector - as Il Roma anticipates - for years in business with the De Micco clan of Ponticelli, Ant and Silence based in San Giovanni a Teduccio in November 2019 revealed to the DDA investigators the existence of a counterfeit money ring managed by the nephew of Bruno Mascitelli, Tuccio, who supplied, among others, Geppina, i.e. Giuseppina Parisi, and Annarella, i.e. Anna Catapano, both arrested in yesterday morning's raid.

 The statements of the repentant Pasquale Matarazzo on the counterfeiters of the Vasto district

“Bruno (Bruno Mascitelli “'o canott”, currently detained boss) confided in me that he had decided to kill Luigi De Micco (boss of the “Bodo” clan of Ponticelli) because he was the boss. He told me this during a meeting in the presence of his nephew… this meeting was held at the home of Mascitelli’s nephew named Tuccio in Vasto. Tuccio has a circulation of counterfeit money and supplies the ngopp 'e mura area and also his niece Geppina with Annarella”.
