Camorra: here are all 30 clans of the Contini "galaxy"

Investigators have managed to reconstruct the organizational chart of the Contini clan, consisting of a series of subgroups, all under the control of the "founding fathers" Patrizio Bosti and Eduardo Contini.

This is what emerges from reading the 370-page precautionary order signed by investigating judge Carla Sarno, which lists 36 members under investigation and reveals the split in the Cittadella di Casoria group with the Lucarelli family in control.

At the top of the gang, in addition to the two founders, there are Rita Aieta, Ettore Bosti born in 1979, Ciro Di Carluccio, as well as Giuseppe Ammendola, Salvatore Botta born in 1950, Antonio Aieta, Salvatore Botta, Vincenzo Tolomelli born in 57, Nicola Rullo, Antonio Muscerino and Alfredo de Feo as leaders, promoters, organizers and territorial referents.

As well as by Francesco Francesco as co-leader of the Contini clan since 2014. According to investigators, the clan has control of the illicit activities in the Neapolitan neighborhoods of Secondigliano, Rione Amicizia, "San Giovanniello", "Borgo S. Antonio Abate", Ferrovia and Vasto-Arenaccia, "Stadera- Poggioreale".

These are joined, with precise divisions of roles and internal responsibilities, by numerous other affiliates divided into multiple branches, in any case reporting to the same summit - made up of Edoardo Contini and Patrizio Bosti and the subjects closely linked to them, including Ciro Di Carluccio, Ettore Bosti class 79 and Rita Aieta - and in constant operational and decision-making relationship with each other;.

Joints identified in the groups indicated below, each headed by one or more "lieutenants":

1. "Vasto-Arenaccia" group directed by RULLO Nicola and MUSCERINO Antonio;
   "Borgo S. Antonio Abate" group directed by AMMENDOLA Gaetano and TOLOMELLI Vincenzo born in 57;
   "Rione Amicizia" group, directed by BOTTA Salvatore cl 50;
   "San Giovanniello" group, directed by AIETA Antonio and DE FEO Alfredo;
   "Stadera-Poggioreale" group, directed by DI MAURO Paolo, until his death, from which split the "Cittadella" group was born.

All active within the sphere of influence, direction and control of the dominant Camorra cartel known as the Secondigliano Alliance or as "the System", headed not only by the Contini mafia family but also by the mafia families of the Licciardi (promoted directly and organized over time first by Licciardi Gennaro, deceased, subsequently and still currently from Licciardi Vincenzo, although detained, Peter Licciardi, although detained, Licciardi Maria e Teghemié Antonio, rooted in the city territories and neighborhoods where the respective groups operate:

 The four groups controlled by the Licciardi

• • of the "Masseria Cardone" directed by ESPOSITO Renato;
    of "Don Guanella", directed by BRUNO Antonio;
    of the "Berlingieri District", directed by CARELLA Luigi;
    of the "Vasto", directed by CIRELLI Gennaro and VARRIALE Giovanni

This is based on agreements of mutual respect and common strategies with the exponents directly linked to the Contini mafia family, historically hegemonic in the Vasto district) and the Mallardo family (promoted by the same Francis Mallard together with his brother Joseph Mallard and directed and organized, over time, also by Joseph Dell'Aquila, Feliciano Mallardo, Francesco Napolitano, Raffaele Mallardo, Giuliano Amicone, Biagio Micillo, Domenico Pirozzi and Patrizio Picardi.

 The four groups of Giugliano controlled by the Mallardos

Then there are numerous other affiliates divided into multiple branches operating in the territory of Giugliano in Campania and surrounding areas, identified in

• group of the Selcione area, led by Giuseppe Dell'Aquila and also directed by Patrizio Picardi and Domenico Pirozzi,
  group of the  San Nicola area, led by Feliciano Mallardo and also directed by Francesco Napolitano and Giuliano Amicone,
  group of the  Cumana area, led by Raffaele Mallardo,
  group of the  Varcaturo-Lago Patria area, led by Vincenzo D'Alterno and Giuseppe Ciccarelli;

Agreements were also reached in the Neapolitan neighborhoods under the hegemony of the Contini clan, also in this case in agreement with members directly linked to the Licciardi and Contini families, in whose relationships the association operates, including through agreements aimed at dividing the proceeds of common criminal activities.

And in any case through the preventive coordination of criminal strategies and choices of common interest aimed at ensuring, among other things, the preservation and consolidation of the bonds of alliance and criminal cooperation of the mafia families making up the "cartel" (Mallardo, Licciardi, Contini) with the Camorra groups gravitating within the orbit of influence, direction and control of the aforementioned Camorra cartel

1. Cesarano, active in the Rione Kennedy neighborhood of Secondigliano;
   Sack of nozzles, first, and of the Grimaldis, later, active in the San Pietro a Patierno district;
   Caiazzo-Alfano, active in the Vomero and Arenella districts;
   Panzuto-Frzziero, active in the Chiaia-Mergellina area;
   Calone, active in the Posillipo district;
   Vastarella, active in the Sanità district)

And then there are the autonomous Camorra organisations linked to the Secondigliano Alliance cartel by consolidated alliance ties (such as the Camorra groups of Russian of the districts of Miano, Piscinola and Chiaiano and of the By Lauro, of Secondigliano, of the Sautto-Ciccarelli of Caivano, of the Moccia of Afragola and of the Casale of the Caserta area).

And finally, cooperation or connection for criminal purposes (such as, for example, the mafia gang of Beloved-Pagan of Secondigliano, Melito and Arzano and of the Cloud - Dust of Marano di Napoli), each member contributing, in relation to the role and tasks assigned to them, to the preservation and increase of the intimidating power inherent in the common associative bond and the widespread condition of subjugation and silence, both internal and external, that derives from it, in order to pursue its own objectives.

 Control of economic activities through nominees

First the affirmation of hegemonic control over the territory and then
the control of economic activities (real estate, financial, commercial) also through the management, sometimes violent and often monopolistic, of entire business and commercial sectors, carried out either directly by certain affiliates or through front men.
