He was a greengrocer who guarded the arsenal and also the drugs of the Neapolitan Soraniello clan, a criminal organization operating under the control of the Secondigliano Alliance and which trafficked and sold drugs in the Rione Traiano, one of the city's most important drug dealing areas.

At dawn today, the clan suffered a heavy blow thanks to a precautionary custody order issued to the Naples investigating judge at the request of the DDA, which concerns 29 suspects, alleged members of the clan. The measures were notified by the Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit of the Provincial Command of Napoli.

Two top members of the clan are untraceable: they are the boss Simone Soranello and Simone Bartiromo, which has become a point of reference in the supply of cocaine after the arrest of the international drug trafficker Raphael Imperial and his right-hand man Bruno Carbone. A third suspect, Giuseppe Gaetano, instead died of natural causes.

The episode caused the boss's disappointment Alfredo Soranello said 'o biondo who, in an environmental interception captured by the Carabinieri, comments disheartenedly on the incident while speaking to an unidentified person: "They took everything with them. They stripped us naked, do you understand?"
