Naples. The super Camorra informer Filippo Caracallo has also revealed to the investigators of the Naples DDA a background and a whim that concerns Feliciano Mallardo, one of the founding bosses of the Secondigliano Alliance and brother-in-law of both Eduardo Contini and Patrizio Bosti.
The boss of the Giugliano area was very fond of lucky horns and on one occasion the Continis gave him a gold one weighing about 200 grams with a diamond.
” …I personally met Eduardo Contini in the years 92/93 when he frequented the house of Mallardo Francesco and Mallardo Giuseppe. I met the brothers Salvatore and Carmine Botta, leaders of the Contini Clan with a stronghold inside the Rione Amicizia.
I still knew Tonino called o' peccerillo, affiliate of the Contini Clan and brother-in-law of Ciccio, Eduardo and Bosti, brother-in-law of Ciccio Maliardo, Contini and Bosti Patrizio. I also knew Egidio Annunziata, called cervella, also affiliated with the Contini clan. Sometimes they came to Giugliano, other times we Maliardos went to Naples.
There has always been a strong bond and they are still active clans in the area. These are families without any economic problems. I know that the Contini clan carries out among its illegal activities the activity of cigarette smuggling and that of fake clothing, shoes, drills).
I can say that the group among the various clans to which I am referring is called the “Secondigliano Alliance.
The Contini and Bosti group is a single group with different factions controlled by different affiliates. For example Dell'Aquila, called Peppe or Ciccio controlled the Vasto area; Tonino Peccerillo I think controlled the Case Nuove area; the brothers Salvatore and Carmine and Botta in the Rione Amicizia. Mario Pomatico, another affiliate who I think was in charge of the 'Arenaccia.
Another affiliate was Giuseppe Del Piano who managed the Ponti Rossi area. The area of via Stadera was instead managed by Paolo Di Maro, known as Paoluccio or nfermiere. Every year during the Christmas holidays we brought gifts of considerable value, such as Rolexes or shoes of a certain value to both the Licciardi and Contini families.
Conversely, they gave gifts of the same type. In particular, Naples sent Rolex watches of great value. Feliciano Mallardo was very fond of horns and on one occasion the Continis gave him a gold horn weighing about 200 grams with a diamond.
I can't say exactly now the territory of the Contini by whom is it controlled. Certainly Salvatore and Carmine Botta, but I cannot say whether they are both free or detained. Taglialatela sent me greetings last Christmas, but I do not remember whether from Carmine or Salvatore.
I had also intended to go and visit them, which I then didn't do. I interfaced with the Continis until Ettore Bosti was free. I saw him on a few more occasions after the episodes I mentioned related to the disappearance of Michele De Biase, which I think occurred in 2015. Then, subsequently I never had the chance to meet him again... "
