There are 41 people under investigation in the DDA investigation Napoli which decapitated the new Camorra alliance between the Di Lauro clans, Licciardi e Vinella Grassi in Secondigliano
Article Key Points
The leader of the organization was Vincenzo Di Lauro, 48 years old, second son of the life-sentenced boss Paolo Di Lauro, capable of setting up a real holding company crime which, starting from the disturbance of the judicial auctions, had built up a real estate portfolio of significant value, all of which has now been seized with today's blitz, with 18 people ending up in prison, 10 under house arrest and 13 investigated at large.
The investigating judge Luca Della Ragione writes in the 1833 pages of the precautionary order regarding Vincenzo Di Lauro (F2) “he is the figure who currently holds together many 'souls' of the clan and, with them, many and varied businesses.
The clan's interests also move within the world of insurance fraud and the lucrative and inexhaustible world of VAT carousel fraud, a true new frontier for criminal organisations in the northern area of Napoli.
Therefore, several groups refer to him, according to a specialization by subject that sees a Di Lauro referent for each main matter".
The roles of entrepreneurs and consultants
And among the contacts are also the neomelodic singer Tony Colombo and his wife Tina Rispoli, the two entrepreneur brothers Alessandro Nocera and Gennaro Nocera, but also the financial consultants Pietro Granata and Mario Castelli of Futuro srl, a real financial services agency (and more) that Vinella Grassi introduced to Vincenzo Di Lauro and the two professionals expert in judicial auctions Decio Silvestri and Massimo Landolfo.
And above all Gennaro Rizzo who according to the investigating judge "putting himself at the unconditional disposal to carry out illicit activities at the service of the clan such as acquiring confidential information at the judicial offices in Naples where he worked as a judicial driver or offering himself as a front for activities through himself and his relatives, or making himself available to commit robberies functional to the financing of the clan".
There are numerous elements that favor this alliance, which is absolutely in the nature of things: the common origin of Secondigliano, on which both gravitate and from which especially Vinella Grassi draws profits by extorting money from traders 'on a blanket' basis (usually asking for either a monthly salary, or by offering gadgets, or the three canonical times a year - Christmas, Easter and Ferragosto), while the Di Lauros are very focused on specific subjects.
But the real emerging sector of common interest Di Lauro – Vinella Grassi is that of judicial auctions, in which a world of financial consultants and varied characters, professionals, employees of credit institutions move.
Judicial auctions used to launder money
“Judicial auctions are a formidable tool for accessing the purchase of real estate in a 'clean' way by laundering dirty money, taking advantage of regulatory gaps.
So Di Lauro, Vinella Grassi and Licciardi, the third large group in the northern area, divide up the business of the judicial auctions", explains the investigating judge in the order.
And then he specifies: “But the true 'entrepreneurial' vocation of Vincenzo Di Lauro is seen when the network of companies that are attributable to him and that are managed by front men is revealed and that he calls back to him practically at the same time in which he is released from prison…
In addition to the financial consultants, identified as Pietro Granata and Mario Castelli who, through Futuro srls, deal with the management of banking relationships and provide important consultancy both for the companies managed directly by the Di Lauro family, initially through Gennaro Nocera, and for those managed by Angelo Milone Marco Minichini, up to those managed directly by the Nocera brothers”.
