The Carabinieri of the Company of Maddaloni (CASERTA) - On orders from the investigating judge of the Naples court, fourteen people believed to be members of a syndicate that had been dealing narcotics, including hashish, marijuana, cocaine, and crack, for years have been arrested. The leader of the group, composed almost entirely of individuals between the ages of 40 and 50, was a 46-year-old man from Caivano, resident in Parco Verde, a well-known drug dealing hub in the Naples area that, due to its proximity, supplies many bases in the Caserta area.
The 46-year-old had also laundered drug money by setting up a car rental company, which he then closed down by selling the vehicles. This morning, police seized eight cars from their buyers, who must now prove their good faith in the purchase to have the vehicles released.
During the execution of the orders, the Carabinieri also found and seized €20 in cash from the home of one of the suspects, a resident of the Naples neighborhood of Secondigliano. The investigation, coordinated by the Naples District Anti-Mafia Directorate, uncovered the existence of a vast drug dealing ring between Maddaloni and neighboring municipalities, run by longtime law enforcement acquaintances who sourced their supplies primarily from Parco Verde and occasionally from Naples' drug dealing hubs, such as Secondigliano and Scampia. The suppliers, in turn, sourced their supplies from Calabrian sources, but the relevant Calabrian prosecutors are pursuing this matter separately.
Investigators determined that the 46-year-old from Parco Verde gave instructions to the other suspects regarding supply methods, primarily to avoid law enforcement. Despite these precautions, during the investigation, the Carabinieri arrested eleven pushers red-handed and reported thirteen users for personal use, seizing 2,5 kilos of narcotics and a 6.35 caliber semi-automatic pistol with dozens of rounds of ammunition.
